lightfully entertained by Miss Gret-
chen Paff on Saturday evening in the
new potato warehouse recently erect
ed by her uncle, G. H. Wegner. AS
the guests approached the Wegner
home on First street they could not
help seeing the large sign that had
been placed on the porch which read
"Follow the Rope" They knew from
this that a good time was in store for
them and Immediately followed the
rope which led to the warehouse.
Two japanese lanterns hung in front
of the warehouse door which told the
guests where the good time would be
had. The young people could be
heard talking and laughing and en-
joying themselves very much while on
their way to the warehouse. The
large warehouse had been deliberately
decorated with pine trees, beautiful
cclored autumn leaves, Japan csc lam
terms, jack o. lanterns and red and
green trimmings, all suggesting Hal
lowe'en. In the windows were yellow
faced lanterns. Bales of hay were
used as seating places, producing a
very striking effect. A victrOla fur
nished the soft music throughout the
evening. Punch and a dainty cafa-
terra lunch were served from
large table that had been placed in
one corner of the warehouse. Miss
Paff was assured by her party of
friends chat every one had enjoyed
the evening very much in dancing
and playing games. Misses Helen
Martin and Louise Jacobs of Stevens
Point were out of town guests.
