HsIlowe'en Party
One Of the jollicst events Of the sea-
son ives the Halloween party given
~ ths $500" club at the home Of
Mrs. George Weaver Saturday even-
ing. Jack-o'-lanterns lighted the en-
trance to the enchanted scene. Black
cats and witches of all stages of ex-
istence from the sort supposed to
dwell in this sphere to those who
have long since passed to their re-
ward, we're everywhere in evidence.
Festooning of yellow crepe paper or
namented with the prevailing decora-
tion formed canopy over the scene.
A quaint old witch Of prophecy who
occupied dark corner surround
ed by many of her departed kind, re-
vealed the future to all who braved
her kingdom. A caldron warmed by a
bright red fire and encircled by a
dozen ugly green snakes, afforded
another opportunity for curious to
remove the veil of futurity
and determine what fate has in store.
Electric lights darkened with paper
pumpkins and yellow shaded candles
cast creepy glow over the scene.
Everything was in keeping with the
setting from the diversions to the
eats. The participants, about twenty
five in number, came arrayed as
ghosts or witches and each one was
mounted on n fiery broomstick steed.
From the moment the first member Of
the company arrived until the tolling
OF curfew at midnight, hilarity held
sway.
