one of the most gout-defyinS forms
of gastronomic joys known to the

From house to house skipped the
score or more of guests, slipping here

other place eating the meat course.
and so on down an edible timetable
that carried from one end of the Of
ficers' quarters to the other. The
guests included the officers at the
post, their wives, and a few guests
from Washington.

Witches At Shoreham
Celebrate Halloween

Witches and hob-gobblins held sway
at the Shoreham last night and there
wasn't a guest visiting the rose room
or the colonial room for a Halloween
luncheon who was not impressed with
The appropriateness Of the decora-
tions. The spirit of the night also
was carried out in the menu, particu-
lar attention being giver to the num-
erous little French dain:ies prepared
with Halloween flavor by the pastry
chef, Hubert Corens.
Entering the hotel from the H street
side, guests who sought the dining
room were arrested by a BLACK
WITCH" one of the worst varieties, II
is said. and after proceeding past this
sentinel of shivers, there wasn't a di-
rection one migl look that hob-gob-
Iins, jack-o'1antt IS, black cats, some
animate when pr 'sed and some with
lacks hunched l.. a spirit of battle
we're not seen. The illumination of
10 the lights that blazed from the hol-
low pumpkins, and the creepy" mu-
sic played at periods by the ten-piece
orchestra added to the wierdness of
the scene
The beautiful palms of the rose room
were replaced by huge stalks of corn
on shucks, autumnai leaves on branches,
md similar decorations of the fall sea-
son- In every window, peering out on
the diners, were smaller jack-o'-la
terms, with faces ablaze with the fun
hey were a part of. Mischievous art
vas seen in the huge '.jack-in-the-box'
made by Hubert Corens, and but few
f-uests refused the privilege of getting
a. real scare by releasing the mechanism
Of the box.
Another decoration, and an unusual
me, too, was the Moulin-a-Vent, an
Dld-fashioned French farm with wind
mill, fashioned by the deft hands OF
Feury Metz, the assistant chef. In this
quaint construction detail was not lack
ing. Mr.. Metz showed the house Of the
farmer, a chapel wherein he worshiped,
his cart and horse, and even his tripod
and "open-air" kitchen. The Halloween
menu was the work of Jacques Z.
Haeringer, who also constructed the
ack-c'-laaterns that welcomed the
quests entering from the lobby.

gram, playing from 10 untf o'clock.

FUN WIDESPREAD
ON HALLOWEEN
Gayety in Many Forms Rules
City-Pranks of the Young
Devoid of Mischief.

No disorder attended Washington's
annual celebration of Halloween last
night, and. with the exception of a few
broken masks and a thin trail of con-
fetti, there was nothing to be seen this
morning to remind the early pedes-
trian of the recent revel
The orderly appearance of things,
however, does not betoken that gayety
was lacking, for at entertainments and
dances, private and public, all Wash
ington enjoyed itself TO the fullest, and
until a late hour the sidewalks were
thronged with masked and costumed
frolickers, wrapped in sheets or dressed
as natives of every country beneath the
sun.
Two large dances drew the largest
crowds, one given by the Business High
School alumni at the Raleigh Hotel, and
the other by the Carroll Council As
sembly at the knights of Columbus
Hall. Both bathrooms were decorated
with black and yellow, and many OF
the dancers were in costume. FRANK
s. Mullin was in charge OF the com,
-nittee of arrangements for the carroll
Council dance, and John A. Mclean
was head of the floor committee.
MiGS Eleanor Wilson, daughter of the
President, was one of the audience
which witnessed the presentation or
'"Tsanlane," the fairy play, at the House
of elay, 493 NJ street southwest She
w1s accompanied by Miss Mary II. Hall.
Many of the audience had weird make
ups and it was hard to tell on which
side of the footlights the real play was.
Miss Rebecca Jordan Clancy appeared
as the princess, R. Bassett Blackley was
the prince, Miss Helen Buchanan was
the fairy. and Miss Ruth Hall the witch
At the Episcopal home for Children,
seventy children were given gay
party, the funds being provided by
wealthy woman who asked Mrs. Daven-
port. director of the home. that her
name be kept secret. There was also
rovel entertainments at the National
Cathedral Home for. Boys and the Ma
tional Cathedral Home for Girls.
Games, stories and costume contests
provided amusement. The costume
prize at the Bows Home went to Joseph
Mfllard, who impersonated Charles F.
Murphy of Tammany Hall.
Judge ]. Wilmer Latimer of the .Ju-
venile Court was a visitor at the Grover
Girls Neighborhood clubs held a joint
celebration. Everybody was in costume,
and dancing, bobbing for apples. ghost
stories and other Halloween amuse-
ments lasted till late hour. The boys
had decorated the room with corn
stalks, real pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns
snd oak boughS.
A feature of the evenings intertain-
Tnent was the series of ghost stories,
told by William L. Ormerod. Candles
we're lighted in the grotesque lanterns,
after which the electric lights were
turned off. In the dim glow from the
"andles, the boys and girls gathered
around the story-teller, and intently
listened to the tales Of spooks, goblins,
and witches.
A mask parade was the big feature
at the Army and Navy preparatory
school the first prize going to r. F.
Woodward. A straw ride by the Argu-
ers was another most successful cele-
bration, and festivities at Fairmont,
Belcourt and Mount Vernon seminaries
we're well attended.

Distinguished Folk
At New Willard

Some of the most distinguished men
and women of the Capital were among
the many who met last night at the
New willard for the Halloween cele-
bration. All of the traditions of the
occasion were observed in the decora-
tions, and many of those who were
present were daintily or grotesquely
costumed.
Several private dinner parties were
given, but as the witching hflr neared
and the stories of witch, ghost, and
over the celebrants there grew up a
comradship, as If for protection against
the unseen forces of the air. All even
ing a string of automobiles was draw
ing UP at the north entrance, and each
new arrival added to the gayety of the
occasion.

ton If the New Haven employees quit
was merely a political move, and
added:
"The public will hardly be imposed
upon by the ill-advised declarations of

in this occasion propaganda for election
aspirations"

had been expecting them, for candles

There were no groans heard, however,
but instead a gale of merry laughter
that did not subside until it was time
for wrath and witch to return to bed
Late in the evening the homeward
bound parties from other celebrations
so augmented the other jewellers that
the room was more than filled and it
was unanimously voted the greatest
