attention of Salt Lake society last
] evening. The parties given were nu-

, touch and created an atmosphere of
good cheer
All OF the frolics were, of course, in
formal. Some of them were masuue
anairs. the costumes varying from the
rich court lace to overalls and ging-
mans. Ghost frolics were the most
popular, and sheet-robed phantoms
gathered about the blazing fireplaces of
dimly-nghted rooms and told ghost
stories
All the good old-fashioned Halloween
games were resurrected and enjoyed.
