CARRIED in long checked aprons and
caps, together with the artistic deco
rative arrangements and in the dim
lights cast by the JACKIE lanterns, gave
to the scene every appearance of a
beautiful forest at midnight infested
with mysterious ghost-like figures.
Dancing and typical halloween
games were INDUCED in by all Vari-
GUS refreshments, all appropriate to
the occasion, were served during the
evening and the festivities extended
into late hour in the night Mr.. and
Mrs. Salathe chaperoned the party.
