other employees of the light, tele-
phone and gas companies, fifty in
all, had a spooky time at a Hal
loween party last night at the c. L.
Brown house, on Seventh and
Buckeye streets. In the walk to
Tipperary," where each person was
escorted by a ghost over a long and
circuitous voyage of the house,
visiting ghostly closets and feeling
Shiny and grimy fingers, every one
finally decided that it was truly q /
long, long way to Tipperary," and
not such a desired journey after
all. The refreshments of the season,
pumpkin pie, cider, apples, sand
wiches and cake were served. Mr.. !,
and Mrs. C. L. Brown were the
guests of the employees.
