Miss Adams Entertained.

Last evening at her home, 1927 Con- |
cert street, Miss Elizabeth Adams,
was the charming hostess of the even
ing to the twenty young lady operat-
ors of the Bell telephone office and
their gentlemen friends. This one OF
the most cleverly arranged Halloween
parties was rich in enjoyment for the
ladies and gentlemen favored and the
spirit of the eve was carried out
in most realistic manner. The
usual coterie of ghosts, large, small
and giving the inward shudder &C
companying a sepulchral service, met
the guests at the door and in the par
lors and dining room, lighted by
spookish yellow pumpkin jack-o'-lan-
terms, entertained the party during
moments of mirth. Games in keeping
with the season, figuring apples sus-
pended from convenient places on
strings, a large bowl filed with water
in which bobbed the tempting fruit, a
| fortune teller and other diversities too
numerous to mention, amused the
company. The several rooms ap-
propriately wore their adornments OF
| the Halloween season.
At a seasonable hour two course
luncheon was served, and the hostess
in the arrangement of this feature, re-
ceived numerous compliments on its
daintiness of preparation. AS place
