Y. w. G. "A. NOTES;
HALLOWEEN PARTY
"A Weird, Spectacular Event. Giving
Splendid Entertainment to All
Who Attended.

The Halloween party given by the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton last evening, was scene Of
weird enjoyment There was every
conceivable amusement appropriate
to the occasion. Strange stories were
told and goblin noises made which
absolutely thrilled and chilled the
nerves. Going to look on, that some
thing Of report might be written OF
the affair, the visitor entered the as
saciation building on the floor where
the office is located. and found every
thing as quiet as a dead mouse.
Presently a human being entered.
and the thrilled and chilled visitor
was invited to seat while the per-
son asked for could be seen as she
was down stairs attending the par
ty. She came, but for the life OF the
king. kaiser or emperor. she appeared
a living. breathing, frolicsome ghost
who had been practicing the waltz.
the strathspey, every antic known in
dance or calesth enics, but there was
no dancing, she said. and It was sus-
pected that she might have added,
that almost every other motion OF
which the human body is capable.
were practiced amid shouts of merrt-
ment.
It was splendid event OF enliven-
ing social interest which everybody
present enjoyed with the wish that
Halloween came once week in
stead OF once q wear.
The association building from
about 1880 to $3.50 o'clock had many
spectres and many were the weird
sounds that issued from the gym
nasium.
Many OF the nifty girls who came.
were masked during the early part
Of the evening. beyond recognition.
After the masks were removed. they
INDUCED In many mirth-provoking
stunts" Fortunes Of many were
told and ghost stories were recited
and apples and doughnuts were in
bountiful quantities served in a
unique way. as refreshments. After
the thrill and chill are over will be
time to take sane view of the situa-
ton. Meeting real girl with ghost
cloth on has q peculiar effect on
nerves. especially when body is
sitting in dimly lighted lobby when
that girl energies from the darkest
corner and brings surprise by ap-
preaching you. But, Oh, they had lots
Of fun and everybody is glad Of It.
The girls needed just such an en-
livening tonic to add to their vim
and activity. They will feel invigor-
ated and benefited by the exercise
and enjoyment they received. "All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" And why not apply the same
rule In Jill's case, and say "All work
and no play makes Jill a dull girl"
There were others present who
used to be girls and they put as
much energy into the play as the
real girls. All present, whether girls
or not, had jolly good time. and the
party may be classed among the
very successful events of the season.
Certainly no recent event has given
more real, beneficial enjoyment than
the jolly Halloween party.
Gymnasium Classes.

classes met Saturday morning with
