church, on last Friday evening at the
Havilla was a decided success. The
rooms were tastefully decorated with
the colors of the society, red and white,
also with autumn leaves and jack-o'-
lanterns. Upon entering the dimly
lighted reception hall the guests were
met by ghosts and were ushered up
stairs where their outer garments were
removed. AS the guests returned to
the lower rooms they were presented
with paper bags to be put on the hands
and each was expected to shake hands
until the bags were worn out. A num-
Der was also fastened upon the guests
and they were presented with a card
in the form of a pumpkin, on which to
write the names of the masqueraders
as they identified them. A beautiful
white chrysanthemum was won as a
prize by Edgar Eldredge, as the most
successful guesser. The costumes of
the maskers were pretty and varied.
Clowns, ghosts, infants, sea nymphs,
Miss jack-o'-lanterns, witches, indians,
school girls, red cross nurses, darkies,
Japanese and the court jester were all
represented. After the unmasking
the program of the evening was a
1Stunt Ball. This consisted of a
large yellow ball of zephyr, and at
frequent intervals was attached a
piece of paper containing a name and
a stunt. Each person was expected to
perform the stunt written on the slip
opposite their NAME. The stunts con-
sisted of a doughnut contest, potato
race, raisin contest, sketchings, songs,
music and Rotations, and caused
much merriment. Linn Forcum was
stunt master and Willis Buckingham
chief bouncer. Another feature was
the sandwich parade, Miss Della AL
drich, Mrs. Maude Nickerson; Messrs.
Linn Forcum, Robert Norris and Ed
gar Eldredge were the participants.
Refreshments of sandwiches, dough-
nuts, coffee, popcorn, nuts and fruit
were served. AT a late hour the guests
departed, lamenting the fact that
