HALLOWEEN OBSERVED
THROUGHOUT THE CITY
Usual Franks Are Indulged
in, but Vandalism Is
Eliminated.
STREETS ARE CROWDED
Many Entertainments Given
and the Evening Is En-
joyably Passed.
The ghosts walked last night.

White robed figures with faces hidden
under hideous masks; small boys and
girls carrying pumpkin shells carved
into human faces with candle burn
ing inside; goblins, ghouls and ghostly-
looking spirits paraded the streets Of
Salt Lake last night in honor Of Hal
loween. The night was ideal for ghosts
to come forth. There was just enough
chill in the air to make the small boys
thoroughly enjoy their mischief and not
enough chill to- make costume con-
sisting chiefly of winding sheet un-
comfortable. While there were just as
many tick-tacks and noise makers as
usual, the youthful vandalism, usually
so prevalent on Halloween was less no.
ticeable. This was partly accounted for
by the number of patrolmen and spec
ial police officers scattered over the
city. They kept watchful eyes on the
"kiddies' and when it became late the
merrymakers were warned that they
should be in bed.

association boarding homo and eduea-
tional building on East Broadway. The
affair was out Of the ordinary In that
mere men, usually taboo at Y. w. G. A.
affairs, were guests Of the girls and
helped make the party a success. The
guests were received in the boarding
home, which was weird with shaded
lights, a flickering fire from a crate
decorated with black cats and black
birds and other spooky things. A witch
stood in the corner with her broom and
boiling cauldron and everything was in
keeping with the mysterious idea.
After the reception, the guests were
escorted by white-clad maskers, through
the chamber Of horrors. This was the
basement Of the educational building
The way was by winding stair and
many dark passages were encountered
They were then led to the second floor
where old-fashioned Halloween games
were INDUCED in, Music was furnished
by n quartette composed Of University
of Utah boys. About fifty persons were
present.
