All-Hallows' Eve, even in this prac-
tical age, lays claim to numerous fol-
lowers who willingly, even If tfmidlv
peer into the unknown. The grown
folk take strange delight, too, in dis

view, three hostesses gathered about
them thirty or more uninitiated on Hal
loween. The home was Mrs. Brom-
wells and aiding her were Mrs. Joseph
Kelly and Mrs. George Borneman. iris
said these children of larger growth
were as happy and well-pleased with
the entertainment as a younger gem
Grafton might have been.
