A HALLOWEEN PARTY.


tempted in number of original ways.
The favors were most gruesome COLLINS
and witches, the works of the
hostcsses.
The home was lighted by jack
lanterns that cast mellow light over
the company. A ghost story ran the
way around the party with awful
thrills and shivers.
The entire evening was planned
with an originality that reflects great
credit upon the hostesses. A buffet
supper was much enjoyed. Miss Fanlk-
ner and Miss Littell were the out of
town guests.
The Manila Times has discarded the
''patent innards" and comes to our table
as an all home-print. We congratulate
the Times upon its progress. The patent
is a good thing for those papers that have
not sufficient patronage to warrant the
home-print. and contain some good read
ing matter of miscellaneous character.
They are used by some papers just to
swell the number of pages issued, but, as
rule, they are discarded as soon as they
can afford it,
Saturday afternoon Mrs. J. G. Wy
CANT gave somerset party complimentary
to her sister, Miss Faulkner. Five tables
we're filled with players keenly interested
with the game. Mrs. Wygant's home is
always delightful one to visit and has
been the scene of many glad parties.

seemed almost too bad to punch. Supper
was served in two courses and was very
fine in all its details from salad to ben.

The Des Moines papers have had much
to say this week concerning Secretary
Shaw's future movements. The Secre-
tary has denied that he has accepted
New York position. 1t has been in the
air for some time that the Bank of Deni-
son would be incorporated next year, but
lust what form this will take or in fact
whetherit will take place at all seems to
be uncertain. 1t is reported that the
Secretary will take we'll earned rest in
before deciding on any plans for the
future.

Last week we overheard discussion
as to the propriety of revivalists sepa-
rating the sheep from the goats by the,
''If you are Christian. staud up" meth
cd. With all due respect and reverence,
we hardly think the method QUITE fair

church and he expects good treatment.
He does not wish to be branded as
black sheep, nor does he enjoy having
hundred pairs of reproving eyes turned
on him. Especially is it distasteful when
he sees some people standing whom he
knows are no better than himself. Per-

uncomfortable that he will repent. but
the trouble is that the miserable reprobate
once caught in such dilemma is apt to
stay away when the next revival comes
to town.
Saturday night Mr.. and Mrs. E.
Gulick gave an elegant dinner compli-
mentary to Mrs. Dora Louis of Iowa
City and Miss Littell of Independence.
The table was beautiful and artistic with
red decorations. The center piece was
vase filled with bar-berries and asparagus
fern and the cloth also had the fern and
berry gracefully festoned. Red shaded
candles cast CHEEKY glow over the table
and the place cards were decorated with
red ribbons and bar-berrie. On the back
of the cards was funny story that had
there been any ice to break, it would have
been easily effected. But stiffness and
formality are unremernbered when Mr. and
Mrs. Gulick are hosts. sumptuous four
course dinner was served. On Friday
