CLEAN from them some whisperings
of that magic future toward which
youth hurries with such joyous ex-
pectancy. The house was prettily dec
GRATED with trailing vines. with glis-
| tening red berries, and brilliant hued
autumn leaves, and numbers of bright
eyed, grinning Jack-o-Lanterns shed
their light over the joyous scene. Much
fun and merriment was occasioned by
the telling of fortunes in many unique
ways, one of which made quite pref
ty picture. The girls from the up
stairs hall tossed down balls of bright
colored yarn, which the gentleman
standing in the lower hall attempted
to catch, and fate was supposed to tie
together in the future those whose
colors correspondent. Another very
novel idea was the lock and key. each
gentleman being provided with a key
with the verse Match thou this magic
key. and see what fate awaiteth
thee" which he had to fit into a GER
tain lock held by some young lady.
After the fortune telling the guests
were ushered into the dining room
which was also decorated in autumn
leaves and vines. The table was glow
ing in falls favorite color, yellow. In
the center stood a handsome brass
candelebra holding yellow candles,
and at the four corners were brass
candlesticks. The place cards were
hand painted Jack-o-Lanterns. A de-
licious and tempting luncheon was
served.

were thrown open, and were most bril-
liantly lighted and beautifully decor

stately palms. and here the guests

Mesdames George Martin and H. o.
Fulton. The former charming in cos

daintily appointed table tea was
gracefully dispensed by Mrs Robert
Pillow, who was attired in hand
some black silk velvet, cut on prin-
cess and trimmed in rich old lace and
passamentrie.
The drawing rooms showed the
touch of artistic har1s in their orna-
mentation, green aud yellow being
most tastefully combined. Over the
doors. nantes and windows were fes-
tooned graceful trailing vines. The
arches between the two front parlors

CLASS FOR FIRE HORSES
PIainfieId Horse Show to Have a
Novel Feature.

In their efforts to secure new fea-
lures for this years horse show, the
executive committee of the Plainfield
Riding and Driving Association
through Lewis G. Timpson, has hit
upon one that is distinctly novel.
1t is to be a class for fire horses,
that is, confined strictly to animals
attached to departments in nearby
cities and used regularly in hauling
apparatus.
There is not a fire company in the
state but what has its pet equines.
The coming Plainfield show will
open the way for just such classes
and give the departments an oppor-
tunity to prove their claims of hav-
ing the best horse every time the sub
ject is mentioned.
Mr.. Timpson has sent out notices
to companies. The prize list is to be
large.

Special to the EVENING NE WS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 21.-At
the direction of Justice Fort the jury
in the suit of Mrs Annie Mccarthy
of South Amboy VS.. the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, gave YER
dict this morning in Mrs. McCarthys
favor for $2,064 4S, without leaving
their seats. This amount represents
the insurance and interest. In di-
recting the verdict Justice Fort said
that he had not the least suspicion
that Mrs. Mccarthy poisoned her
husband, nor had the company prov
en- that Mccarthy committed suicide.
The verdict was directed by the court
on motion of Mrs. McCarthy's coun-
sci, George S. Silzer, who asserted
that the defense, which finished its
case this morning, had proven only
that Mccarthy had been poisoned
which was not a sufficient defense to
this suit.
The defense put one witness on to-
day. She was a woman detective,
Miss Madeline Samson, of Newark,
who said she was sent to South AM
boy by Chief Gregory, of Newark.
She boarded at the house the week
past and testified that several men
visited the house. The court express
ed disapproval of her testimony and
said that the insurance company
should not have resorted to such a
method. He said that Mrs. McCar-
thy has right to entertain visitors,
as her husband has been dead year
or so.
