1--WE are surprised at the elope-
ment," he said, "and cannot under
stand since we had already given our
consent to their marriage"
Mrs. Ida Winter, the mother of the
girl, was not so ready to believe the
news as was the rest of the family,
including Forest Winter, Maud's
brother, and player on the South
High football team. Mrs. Winter at
once proceeded to don her street
clothes and start for the nearest long
distance phone and call Cincinnati
to find out all particulars for herself
At an early hour Sunday she had
not located the party who had tied
the knot or the couple. She expected
the new Mrs. Kramer home Monday.

The show proved one of the decided
hits Of the evening.
When all had amused themselves
with the various devices calculated
to while away odd moments, the
dance started. This occurred In the
ball room which was very attractive

with witches, hobgoblins and the
like, and softened the illumination
down to distinctly Halloween tone.
On the side walls appeared number
Of false-faces, surrounded by tighten.
ed streamers.
After the fifth dance, favors IN the
shape Of Halloween hats in a multi
tude Of colors and designs. were pass.
ed around and from then on to the
end Of the evening, the room was a
riot Of swiftly-changing colors. This
one little touch added much to the
success of the dance.
The dance program consisted large
ly of waltzes and two-steps, very few
of the dances which have been in
vogue for the past few years being
used.
The refreshments for the affair,
served in the temple dining room in
buffet style. consisted Of doughnuts,
cider, pumpkin pie and coffee.
The music was excellent, the crowd
joyful, the scene beautiful and all
departed for their homes with the
feeling that an extremely pleasant
evening had been spent.
