dinner prepared by the women was
served in the diniug room OF the Co:n-

Elaborate as to detail. Miss Queen
Wilson opened her handsome home one
evening last week to few guests hidden
i'll honor of her mother. The parlors,
were massed with huge sprays OF black
berry vine and pepper weed whose
rich autumn coloring was prettily
brought out by dozen pumpkin jack o
lanterns, their grinning faces giving
spooky touch to the whole from the two
mounting guard AZ The porch pillars on
through to the dining room. A heart
hung from the portieres made all ex-
cellent target for some very poor arch
cry. Mr. Smith succeeded in piercing
it, however, and was accorded the honor
of shooting an apple from the head of a
very brave maid. This feat he accoml-
lished also. Saucers of flour which held
rings, thimble and water we've fished
into by persons blindfolded A cauld-
ron full of envelopes containing for
tunes hung i'll a tripod of willow sticks.
Into this all dipped and il was learned
that MIR. Grady will exchange pen for
pitchfork, Miss Wilson will take to a
sewing machine and Wint Willis will
drop Blackstone for blacksmith $ anvil.
Hawaiian leis of popcorn were pitched
as quoits for dinner partners, the lady $
name being buried under the stake.
The long table was garnislied with aut-
umn leaves and red apples. Refresh
nents were strictly OF the brown Oc-
tober' order. Black cats Tor place cards
concealed list of conundrums begin
! ming with cat, and each guest padded
. his own canoe of walnut shell either TO
fair shore or fathomless bottom of the
finger bowl. The birthday cake was
! served OIL a platter that had been used
D in Mrs. Wilson'S family on eventful oc-
/ casions for three generations. Twelve
Nj. found the guests still under the spell
of local sootlisayer: The guest lis'
{ included Mr.. and Mrs. I. l.. Hoppn,

Saturday evening, the 31st. Mrs. Bes-
sic Davis was hostess to her fellow
teachers at a delightful Halloween party
given at her home, Yerihgton. Black
cats wer. everywhere in eerie evidence
along the walls and curtains, whole
family of them peering at one through
the glass door panel. The number OF
guests, thirteen, was suggestive OF
omens and gave point to the usual tests
of witchery connected with apples,
liorseshoes and mirrors. A guessing
contest was indulged in with Miss Clara
Hannah as prize winner. Sweet cider
reigned king Of beverages and dough
nuts were in large demand. The guests
fingered, 10th to break the spell of the
midnight hour, until DIR. Beatty discov
ed that il wanted only quarter of j.
and made a rush to get his auto undei
its nightcap ere the Sabbath morn dis
covered him at unclerical pursuits.

All the seats were removed from the
pretty little school house i'll Mason and
on Saturday night it was the scene OF a
very pretty Hallow' cen party All im-
aeinable kinds of white cats were drawn
on the blackboards and around the
edges and on the walls hung autumn
leaves. The room was lighted With
candles shining through gruesome ewes,
noses and mouths in large yellow pump
kins hung over the windows and III
each corner. In one corner Mrs Lyons
dressed in a yellow costume decorated
with black cats was kept busy telling
fortunes. Miss Queen Wilson sweetly
sang Silver Threads Among the Gold
and Just Wearin For You. Mrs
Bovett displayed exceptional ability IN
her recital of "Naugty Zeli' and 'So

the guests by singing Forgotten

10 months.
I'M MEMORY OF

How feeble are words to carry consolation
to hearts bereaved of seloved son A ten
der, clinging vine, interwomen with sweet
memories from the hour the Angel first gave
it to your home gentle spirit of light that
fitted .ia and out like CLEAN of sunshine.
No one can fill his place in the vacant chair,
no one will take his place in your hearts and
you would not have the void filed, even If
you could.
II will be sacred thought in years to come
to parents and friends that he shed Radiance
in the home as long as he did twill be a
blessed recollection that he grew up to love.
and be loved by those who will ever so ten
derly cherish his sweet and pure memory.
