Takes a Peep at The Spooks and Witches
and Rusiles After Other News.

The Halloween party given at the hos
pitable home OF Mrs. 4. r. Steele last
Monday evening, for the benefit Of the
Presbyterian Church, by the Junior
Christian Endeavor Society was a glo-
rious success. The parlors and reception
hall were lighted only by the d i'm glow
Of tapers behind grotesquely-caryed
Jack-o'-lanterns The decorations were
autumn leaves, trailing vines, fruits and
flowers. Miss Mary Steele dressed to
represent a ghost and made a most be-
witching hostess. The Gypsy tent was
one of the most attractive features OF
the evening. Misses Kate Steele and
Allie Belle Stinson, dressed in Gypsy
costume, were kept quite busy forecast
ing the futures OF the Young people.
Misses Flora Rciman and May Al"
bridge entertained hg wiieheFaft and
superstitiousness, and this proved quite
enjoyable, What resulted in much
merriment was tho picking up Of a
floating apple with the mouth from the
surface of a tub OF water. Mis- lrma
Portwood gracefully presided over this,
Delicious refreshments, consisting of
fruit, salad, nuts, Halloween cakes and
parched eorn. A large and beautifully
decorated cake was then cut and en-
joyed by all.
The young ladies were invited, one at
a time, into Q dark room where. they
lighted a candle and, looking into . mir
ror, each young lady saw her future
husband. There was more than one
startled cry at the discovery and every
maiden blushed and smiled.
The neat sum of $40 was realized, he
sides a most enjoyable Halloween spent.
The Junior Christian isndeavor Soci-
ETY., under the direction of Mesdames
Gillespie and Williamson, deserves
praise for the noble work it has under
taken to furnish the primary depart
