| An enjoyable Halloween party was given
| Tuesday night by the Endeavorers of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church. About
one hundred persons attended. The Sun
day school room was decorated with autumn
| leaves, fruits and pumpkin lanterns, and
| the electric lights were covered with red.
| making weird but pretty scene. Arriving
guests were greeted by committee OF
| ghosts.
A feature of the entertainment which
| caused great merriment an inquest on
| poor fat Jimmie's remains" The COM
| pany was seated in large circle on the
| floor, almost in darkness, and one of the
number related a narrowing story about the
victims being knocked into fragments in a
| railroad accident. AS the leader told OF
| the picking up of various portions of poor
| Jimmie's anatomy grewsome objects repre-
| senting them were passed from hand TO
| hand for verfication. The progress of these
articles around the circle could usually be
traced by the screams. A glove filled with
| wet sand served for Jimme's hand a raw
| oyster for his tongue, peeled grapes for his
| eyes, rubber tube for his windpipe, and
| broken cocoanut for piece of his skull.
| Amusements of more agreeable charac-
ter were also engaged in. such as "bobbing
| for apples. Popcorn was popped over an
| open fire and other appropriate refresh
| ments We're served. The social was ar
