Bloomfield, Oct. 31-The 'facky"
party given at the John Burgess home
Monday evening was a very happy
event. In response to unique brown
paper invitations bearing the symbols
Of the hour, about seventy-flve guests
attired in "tacky" dress, gathering
the Burgess home at the mystic hour
of eight" We're greeted at the door by
whose black garb a skull APP
peared. Shivering with horror, each
guest clasped the cold hand of
death and passed swiftly up the stair
way, whittier the long, bony finger
pointed. Reaching the upper floor
those who escaped the power of death
were ushered into an uncanny world,
wherein to spend the evening hours.
Throughout the evening the scene
was one of animation not withstand
Ing the presence of death nor the fit
tering forms Of the spirit world. The
"tacky' costumes were original and
laughable. The principal amusements
consisted Of the chamber of horrors,
the unwinding Of the spider web and
the finding and reading of prophesies.
One Of the most entertaining features
entrance to which lay through an i'm
provised woodland. Two feminine for
tune tellers CARRIED in bright raiment
similar to that of the rowing gypsy
bands, ruthlessly laid bare the past
history OF the city's growth and
prophesied all maner of good and evil
to be encountered in the years to
come. Sweet cider, pumpkin pie,
doughnutes and coffee were served at
10 O'clock, after which another hour
Of jollity was spent. The event was
one of the social triumphs Of the sea-
son.
