About thirty friends slipped into
her home very quietly last Saturday
afternoon, giving Mrs. Ronald Glover
a genuine surprise, the occasion be-
ing her wedding anniversary. The
afternoon was made delightful with
a program which had been prepared
especially for this event. Miss Bene-
dict, of New York, who is visiting in
Salem, gave two soprano solos very
beautifully. Mrs. Clark's whistling

and an original poem which she
dedicated to Mrs. Glover was a very
clever composition. Mrs. Dunlap pre-
sented the honoree with an immense
bouquet of red carnations and a
lovely silver filigree vase over red
crystal. Among the refreshments

The Adelante and the Websterian
societies of Willamette University,
Joined in a Halloween party last
Friday night The hall was gay
with brilliant autumn leaves and
jack-o'- Lanterns.
The Adelantes were disguised in
spook costumes of sheet and pillow
case contrivance; and in darkened
rooms the Websterians were directed
by the light of the lanterns and no.
tices pinned about, when finally they
found their ghostly partners in the
chapel, who hummed the songs of
titles written on slips of paper and
held by the Websterians In cou-
pies they marched to the hall where
with lights turned low, strange and
mysterious games and stories of
ghostly happenings filled the hour.
There were no dulled appetites when
pumpkin pie, doughnuts, apples and
cider with marshmallows to top off
were placed before this merry crowd
of seventy young people. Invited to
chaperon the party were Miss Chap
pelle, Professor and Mrs. Walsh,
Professor and Mrs. Biddle and Pro-
fessor Matthews.
