ENJOYABLE HALLOWEEN
 DADTV


 The Halloween party and dance at Masonic hall last week, was just such a success as the ladies always have and for which they last winter gained the reputation. When they send out invitations the public un- derstands that an especial effort is being made to entertain, and an espe- cial effort is made to be there. The decorations added much to the pleas ure of the evening and no labor had been spared to make them pleasing. Great piles of vegetables, with corn stalks and autumn leaves adorned the stage, which central attraction was a quantity of Jack OLanterns, which were kept burning all the evening, while witches, bats and black cats predominated. Bohbing for apples, candle fortunes, and the saucer luck were all in evidence and you could take your choice, while in one dark corner. illuminated only by skeleton and black cat laGterns, a real live with would tell your fortune free of charge. Two witch cakes held the mystic symbols of button money, ring and thimble foretelling to the lucky finders their future. Those who attended voted the party a suc- cess in every way and are already clamoring for another.
