given by Misses Ethel Sheets and Lula
Thompson In North Durango. The
party took place in ghostly old house
on the hill. The house was charming
ly decorated with cedar boughs and
jack-o-lanterns and outside bonfires lit
top of the hill to point the way TO
arriving guests. Then there were two
homely witches who told fortunes but
they wouldn't tell how election was
coming out. Upstairs there was real
live ghost with clanking chains, and
each guest was blindfolded and led
to this haunted chamber. After this
the guests expectancy was aroused
by being told that he would see the
one he loved best. But when he woke
up at the bottom of a long cellar door
and found himself gazing in a mirror
