The national forum., 1910-11-05
was served, and the evening was
spent delightfully."-.

'of Mrs. Shipper, 1916 V street, pre-
sented very attractive appearance,
the beautiful autumnal leaves, the
luscious red apples suspended from
cords in doorways, the huge bunches
of grapes and nuts reminded one
that it was the night for GHOSTS and
goblins" to pay their yearly visit!
Miss Bessie Shipper entertained
several of her friends at a Hal
lowe'en party, in which the charm
ing hostess had arranged SO dexter
ously and artistically for an evening
of pleasure. The evening was be-
gun with the favorite game OF
whist" The first prize was won
by Miss Lucille M. Nooks. The
"booby" prize was wonby Miss Hat
tie Butler. Next was a guessing
contest, in which Mr.. Norman But
Ter carried off the honor. After trip
ping the Eight fantastic" they pro-
ceeded to the dining-room, where
the black cats and Jack O lanterns
reminded the party that the mid
night hour was rapidly approaching
and that the uninvited guest would
probably enter unannounced. But
after having a peep at the table no
one would volunteer to keep
watch" The hostess thoughtfully
added an extra plate, so that instead
of frightening guests away, that it,
too, should also partake of the elabo-
rate supper. Fortune telling and
ghost stories were freely told. Those
present were Misses Clara, Eliza and
Carrie Shipper, Hattie Butler, Lucy
Lumkins and Lucille M. Nooks;
Messrs. Charles Hill, Robert and
Norman Butler, Richard Johnson
and Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Richard
son.
