"SUPERSTITIOUS SOCIAL"
WAS A DECIDED SUCCESS,

One of the most successful affairs
that has been held in some time was
the "Superstitious Social" held by the
flower committee of the Christian
Endeavor Society of the First Pres
byterian church in the chapel last
night. The decorations, which were
unique and novel, pertained to super
sutton. A step-ladder was placed at
the entrance of the chapel, with an
open umbrella on the top of it, ar
ranged so that everyone had to pass
under to get into the chapel. The
room was in darkness and the only
light was from eight large pumpkins
fcut out as jack-o-lanterns, with can
dies in them. Figures of black cats
and bats and ven the stars and
moon, made out of paper, were Wis
ible.
The ushers were in ghostly attire.
FUpon entering the room each guest
was given a card. Some were in the
shape of a horse shoe and some in the
shape of a four-leaf clover, the first
in gold and the latter in green. The
ones receiving numbers 13, 26 and 80
were awarded prizes. They were af-
terward blindfolded and given a pair
of scissors and made to cut their
prize off of a string hanging from
the ceiling. The number thirteen was
very prominent, as the affair was
held on the twenty-sixth of the
month, and the chairs were arranged
in circles of thirteen each.
The musical part of the program
consisted of several recitations, piano
solos and a violin solo by Max Kali
etsch.
Refreshments were served and a
most enjoyable time was had by all
present.
The committee in charge of the
arrangements was Miss w. Hancock,
Miss Lillian de Hamm, Miss Anna
McClymont, Miss Ada Hulsizer and
John de Hamm, assisted by yelling
ton LaRue.
A neat sun was realized from the
affair.
