water, one With coffee and one empty. Those making the trial were bind folded and led to the saucers. If he put his finger in the clear water, he will marry a maiden; if in the cof- fee widow; and if in the empty one
 he will go to the grave unwed. But best of all was the ghost room; i; each couple was led into a spooky
 room from which came the most dole ful sounds. Even the brayest grew faint hearted when these aspirations
 in ghostly array greeted his sight. ! It is not believed that these young lpeople are Darwinians. but when the fortune teller asked if they wished
 to see their past they were shown
 a monkey; the present. they looked
 into mirror, and their future, bones.
 But these are only a few of the Ivei-d practices of that night. | Miss Myrtle Warr as a gypsy for tune teller was bewitching. She was
 attired in red and yellow, red being
 especially hateful to witches was
 worn as a charm. and she succeeded in charming others beside the witches.
 ! Nina Mayo and Edith Reese were witches, and they, too, were bewitch- ing. To Miss Margaret Isaacs is
 due much praise; with the assistance
 of Miss Myrtle Warr, Miss Isaacs not
 only planned the affair, but saw that
 the plans were successfully executed.
 The decorations of yellow. ornamented
 with black cats were the handiwork of Misses Isaacs and Warr.
 | Doughnuts, apples and coffee were
 served the guests and everyone had
 lots of fun. Among those who were present were: Mesdames Howe, Ross. w. x. Mayo, Rees. R. E. Boice, J. Hinton. Hiatt, J. B. Ormond,

 A most enjoyable affair was the of the Christian church at the home lof Mrs. John Dowdle on Thirteenth and A.
 Here, too, witches and hobgoblins were in evidence, and surely ghost land must have been a very forsaken ploce on that particular night. for ghosts in such large mum bers were homes of the city
 When the guests arrived at the home of Mrs Dowdle. they were i'm medfateiy ushered Into the basement where what appeared to be a really. truly corpse. was laid out on bie-. Peals of laughter from the brave and yells of fear from the timid, rent the air Mingled in this tumult was the meows of a big black cat shut up in a cage. His eyes glared wildly in the dark and amid much merriment the guests perceived in the corners two ghosts and two witches. Black cats and pumpkin faces were sus- pended in the air. When all had sufficiently recovered, they were led to the ghost room, and here was the | fist of Timothy Tubbs. They were given the ice cold hand of Timothy; | then the tongue, which was wet and
 rough, then the eye, which was bright and shiny Some felt that they had entered dissecting room. so next ithey were taken to visit the fortune lteller, and here was Mrs. C. Spooler
 who looked exactly like the witch who in our childish days we believed icircled through the air on a broom Istick. She wore a black dress, lonf pointed shoes with turned up toes
 and a hat with crown like churcf tsteeple Fumes of sulphur greetet ithe noses, and we thought perhaps ; like Peserpino, we had wandered int
 Ithe internal regions.
 II Big jack-o-lanterns were in sight forty black cats and thirty witches Iadorned the walls. Streamers O . white and yellow added to the nov , Ielty, and every one was having , good time. Sweet apple cider am I pumpkin pie were served all who hal , lthe courage to remain. and that ther , lare many courageous ones in tn :. flown is attested by the fact ina
 labout a hundred and fifty people CT , ljoyed the festivities of the Christia , lchurch. The committee who ha r lcharge of the affair were Mesdame Il O O o
 f In the beautiful dining room of tn . iGadsden hotel, the dance given by tn d lladies of St. Cecelia's guild on Ha ], liowe'en night, was success in ever . lsense of the word. The room wa
 lthronged with dancers, and those vh |. did not wish to dance enjoyed soci; . lchats. Refreshments of coffee an a sandwiches were served by the l; n dies.
