Fancy is the flower of thought
The more of life there is, the more of

The more of thought there is the
more of fancy.

Masquerade Ball Given by Wildcats
4 Halloween, the season of mystery
and fun, when the COLLINS ramble ev-
erywhere has arrived, it being hast
ened day on account of Halloween
night falling on Sunday. The parties
for this season are different from all
other parties and the most novel are
the most successful, and those which
are the most fun are given In mask.
Early in the week the Wildcats %
FOcala's live basketball team, issued
Invitations to over hundred of their
friends, bidding them to masquer-
ade ball at the Woman's Club build
ing Friday night. The event was
eagerly anticipated and when the
hour for the grand march arrived
last night it was found that all of the
invitations had been accepted with
only few exceptions.
The building was decorated elab-
orately. Figures of cats, owls
witches and garlands of yellow and
black, moss and autumn leaves fes-
tooned the walls and an air of mys-
terry prevailed. Across the wall be-
hind the stage was stretched a large
black pennant with the word 1tWild-
CATS and guarding it from above
was Al black cat. Hundreds of yellow
daisies were used in developing the
Halloween motif, which was perfect.
