guided up the hill by ghosts and hob
COLLINS, To house that was entirely

was spent in succession of eerie pur-
suits. The individual fortunes OF the

terrors. The refreshments were a
witch's broth, served from kettle, and
other like appropriate articles of food.
A prominent feature was the mystery
cake, but alas! no one knows who will
be the first married, as some one in much
hunger unwittingly swallowed the ring.
