GhostIy Visitors Meet

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One Halloween night mamma and |
were getting dressed to go out, with
Pillow slips on our heads and holes cut
out for eyes and place for our mouth
and nose, and sheets around us. we
glanced up at the window and saw
lot of lanterns made of pumpkins all
lighted up, looking in our faces.
I turned white and jumped, and we
were both scared for moment. Ihere
were six or seven boys and girls car
rying the lanterns. They came in and
we found out who they were. we start
ed down to a place where they were
having a Halloween party. We had
iack-o-lanterns and we looked very
ghostly walking along, soaring people
on our way.
They were dancing at the party, and
they were dressed up like we were. We
put our lanterns up to their windows
and tried to scare them, but they would
not be scared. We had good time and
on our way home we met crowd OF
boys who tried to scare us.
The street had just been oiled and
they had a long rope tied to trip us
and throw us in the oil, but mother
made them stop. We were scared, for
we thought they were going to catch
US and pull off our sheets and pillow
slips to see who we were The boys
put wagons on the car tracks and
Jumped on the back of the cars and
pulled off the trolley,
We went home and I took off my
sheets and dressed up like boy and
went to my brothers house with my
jack-o-lantern and knocked at the door.
AS they opened the door they knocked
my lantern out of my hand and broke
it all to pieces. That ended my fun for
that night. STELLA GUESS.

sympathized with Victims

Dear Aunt Laurie:
You know, Aunt Laurie, little girl
of isn't old enough to go to parties
and doesn't want to go to bed early on
Halloween. So last Halloween in
Whittier a good many boys and girls
on our street didn't know how to cele-
brate Halloween. At last we decided to
dress up and hunt something to do.
I can't describe the awful ways we
were dressed, but we all carried jack
o'-lanterns. We went next door and
pounded on the back door and stamped
on the porch. We hoped to frighten
them awfully and don't see why we
didn't. We looked badly enough.
But one of the big girls threw water
on us. That didn't stop us and we
went on to other houses. Some places
they called us in and admired us and
at some places they chased us. We
scared one old lady. When she heard
us coming she came to the door with
light. We all yelled and when she saw
us she shut and locked the door, then
went and peeked out of the window.
We reused some people up out of
bed. Some thought it was funny, but

SOUVENIRS ARE QUAINT
AND WEIRD AT PARTY
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T asst YEAR my girl friend and
were invited to a Halloween mas
IL querade party, which invitations
we heartily accepted.
We both dressed in colonial costumes
and did our hair in the old colonial
way and wore black masks. We had
great fun, each trying to guess VINO
the other was.
When this occupation began to grow
dull the masks were removed and we
played games. Later on refreshments
were served. The table was beautlLully
decorated. Each guest received
souvenir such as a black cat, tiny
witch upon a broomstick or other
souvenirs of weird character. The re-
freshments were ice cream, cakes, ap-
pies, bananas and punch.
After this a number was given TO
each person, who, when their number
was called, was given chance TO
draw from a grab bag. My prize was
a book of detective stories which L en-
joyed reading very much. When all
had received a prize and due respects
had been paid the hostess the party
broke up and we all went away teellns
very happy indeed

Entertained Mysterious Guests

Dear Aunt Laurie:
It had been raining all day long. We
were all sitting around the fireplace
and reading. l heard some noise and
looked around. What should I see but
somebody coming in and then some
more and still more came in until
there were about thirty persons in the
room.
All wore sheets and pillowcases with
such horrid faces on them that l got
scared. I guess / was only about 10
years old then. They all sat down,
some on the floor and wherever they
could find room.
NY sister and mother went to get
something to eat for them. After we
got tired of playing games we sat
down on the floor in circle by the
fire and told ghost stories. Sometimes
/ would have to laugh and other times
I would get so frightened l would keep
looking around to see if ghost were
really after me.
While we were telling stories we
popped some popcorn. Then my mother
came in with some cake, cookies, nuts
and other things. We started TO eat
right away.
When they were ready to go home
they said they never had better time,
and we thought we certainly had en-
joyed the evening.
The DAYS came and went and we
never knew who our visitors were.

DAMAGING PROPERTY

Honorable Mention)

Honorable Mention)
Dear Aunt Laurie:
IN HE pleasures of Halloween as IN
dulged in by the boys often cause
- great annoyance.
In one case 1 know of fine potted
plants were carried off and deliberately
destroyed 1 don't see anything wrong
in having a little innocent fun, such
as dressing up as ghosts or having
pumpkin lanterns. Rowdyism should
be stopped, however, and any one
caught destroying the property of 9TH
ers should be severely punished.
The boys who destroy other persons
property would feel indignant If some
one destroyed their own things.
Go out for a good time, but 'Do
unto others as you would have others
do unto you," and go to bed with
consciousness of having done just right
and have nothing to fear.
If this is observed we will all wake
up the next morning with smile and
think of the fun we had the night
before, with no fear of a reprimand
or a whipping. Your niece,
