Last Thursday was Halloween night
and it passed unnoticed with the excep-
ton of the children's play with jack %
lanterns.
The Camp Fire Girls held their regular
ceremonial at the Unitarian Parsonage
on Halloween, and following the OPEN
ing exercises the program contained fea-
lures appropriate to that night. The
room was darkened and tall witch bear
ing a jack o-lantern entered and told
astonishing fortunes to all the members.
The guests of honor were Mrs. c. w.
Wescott, Mrs. H. E. Macdonald, and
Mrs. John David. The latter gave an
entertaining and instructive illustrated

visits distributing literature descriptive
