class and the high school teachers a,
his suite of rooms in this town. bis sis
ter Abigail, acting as hostess. The in
vitations We're very unique and pre-
pared us partly for what we should see
when we arrived. Black cats and
bats were crawling up the walls and
as the rooms were lighted by jack-o'

faces, which finding her obdurate We
took and withdrew. At first sight II

paDy him to the scene of the witches
revels, which we found ON the tor
floor. In the center of the room was
the witches caldron from which seem
seeking refuge in the corners of the
room. Amidst such surroundings We
spent the remainder of the evening ant

from our host and hostess who hac
