snakes. They entered each whistling
tune, and those who entered without
whistling were warned by the second
brownie of approaching i'll luck. The
second brownie ushered the guests up
stairs, where they were met by a third
brownie, who showed them to the dress
ing room. On the mirror were notices
and warnings, among them the popu-
| lar Halloween warning that If two
persons look into the mirror without
smiling that they would be met with
bad luck the remainder Of their days.
The guests were then asked to toast
ma RS hmaI1ows for their fortunes and in
this way passed a pleasant half hour.

were read, they were taken to the den
on the third floor and here a weird old
witch told fortunes with tea. Among

! ing of smiles and Peter Crumpacker
was awarded the prize, a green snake.
Another was the drawing of numbers,
