and was buried at Mt. Olivette
Tuesday afternoon. The serv-

Rev. f. L. Hudson. Ed. Hutch

and Mrs. Hiram Brown read
Longfellow's THE Psalm of
Life" upon request of Mrs.
Graves, who stated that it was a
favorite poem of her husband.
Mr.. Graves was born in King
County, Nova Scotia, in 1S40 and
came West in 1869. Since that
time he has lived principally in
Arvada and Denver. He was
a contractor and builder and was
considered an excellent man at

Continued from Page y

present all dressed up with sheets
and pillow cases. 1t was indeed
a jolly crowd and the many games
and Halloween pranks were thor
oughly enjoyed as also were the
Observation-Disclosures that were
served. This affair also proved
sort of farewell party to Victor
Boehm, who left Wednesday for
Indianapolis, Ind, where he
has accepted a position.
Another Halloween social affair
was the party given by Misses
Edith Champion, Sidney Miller
and Gladys Sanderson, at the
home of the latter. About thirty
guests, mostly high school grad
yates and students, were pres
ent and greatly enjoyed the eve
ming, which was spent playing
Halloween games and music. Re-
freshments were served in a
dainty manner and the approach
of the sma' wee" hours COM
PEELED the guests to thank their
hostess for a very pleasant eve
ming and bid them good night.
Probably the entertainment
drawing the largest crowd of the
evening was the supper and dance
given at the Bank hall by the
ladies of St. Matthews Guild.
The hall was very prettily decor
ated with jack-o'- lanterns, black
cats, witches and black, yellow
and red crepe paper. The tables
were spread with Halloween.de-
signed covers and napkins. In
fact the Halloween atmosphere
was carried out everywhere.
The ladies began serving supper
at five O'Clock and shortly after
eight they had practically ex-
hausted their supply Of good
things. About eight O'Clock the
music came and the hall began
to fill up with ghosts, witches,
skull and cross bones and all sorts
of peculiar looking beings. Soon
the music started and the weird
and humorous costumed folks
whirled around the room, max
ing a picture well worth seeing.
There were seventy-fve or eighty
couples on the floor at one time
besides the large number of spec
tatorS.
Another enjoyable feature Of
this entertainment was the music
rendered by Messrs. Ed. Hutch
ings, O. B. Drake and w. R.
James. These gentlemen gath
cred around the piano and sang
a number Of the old-time songs
in a very pleasing, reminiscent
manner.
The supper and dance netted
the ladies about eighty dollars.

hour.
