walk and witches do their worst. on

night.
/ The occasion was masquerade par
! ty given under the auspices of the
/ ''Y'' group known as the "Pollyanna
! Girls Reserves" They had invited
every girl to come in costume and TO
be as funny as possible, all to wear
masks.
Some so girls responded to the in
vitation, and at times space in the
"Y" rooms was at a premium. The
rooms had been decorated with au
tumn leaves, corn nusks and corn
stalks, and carried out the idea of
Halloween with owls, witches riding
hrooms, black cats and other decora-
lions suggestive of the night which
really falls week hence. The lights
were shaded and the scene was rather
spectacular.
The evenings pleasure opened with
grand march, all the young girls be
ing in fancy costume and wearing
masks. The ''Y" director. Miss Nc
Gregor. and other ladies of the ~"
had arranged number of real Hal
lowe'en games, including bobbing for
apples in a tub of water, biting the
apple tied from a string suspended in
a doorway, putting the nose" on the
pumpkin, feeding q partner ice cream
while blindfolded, which meant often
times putting the ice cream down the
neck or on the sleeve OF the unusupect
ing partner.
Many of the costumes were unique
and others faneiful. Prizes were
awarded the best and the first prizt
went to Miss Elzaeth Ridgeley, who
impersonated Sis Hopkins" and was
he best Sis Hopkins ever seen off
the stage. Indeed. Miss Ridgeley would
make a fine understudy for the real
isis"

went to Miss Mary Craven Johnson
Jr., who was in character of the army
widow, and as a widow who had lost
her husband in the war, was little
hard of hearing and believed her UNI
