The WOman's Institute held here
last Friday and Saturday under the.
auspices of the State Board of Agri--
culture, Wesley Webb, secretary
was deserving of much better ma.
tronage than it received. At no time
were there large audiences, but de-
spite this fact the program was given
pretty much as advertised and those
who stayed at home missed one of the
best treats of the season. Mrs
Wells and Miss Gray delighted all
who heard them. There was some
thing to be learned at every session
and the easy and pleasant wav in
which the ladies had in imparting
their knowledge, won for them much
praise. The musical features were
all happy hits. The address of Prof.
Hayward, of Delaware College, Sat-
urday afternoon was also highly en-
joyed. In fact the only regrettable
feature of the whole Institute was
the lack in attendance. Secretary
Webb was much complimented on the
line talent he brought to Smyrna.
There was also praise for Mrs. M.

The Phantom Party given bv the

great branches of oak leaves. dog

with the furnishings very harmonious

faces formed the chief illumination
and a blazing fire on the hearth
lighted up the room, throwing weird
shadows on the walls and the great
shocks OF corn. As the guests arrived
they were greeted by a ghost and a
witch with an icy hand and directed
into the reception room which was
dark and spOoky and the wav had
been made tortuous by a iudicious
management of screens and black
curtains. Here another ghost in

forum where they moved about

INDUCED in the usual Halloween
tricks. A witch at the frenlace
presided over a cauldron from which
were mysteriously extracted pro-
phecles for each one present. Some
OF these were very amusing. some
lifted admirably the ones who drew
them and others were laugbablv
inappropriate. The program of |
music was very select. A piano solo
by Mrs. Coverdale was greeted with
applause. A male quartette "Annie.
