sided last evening. Originality was the
keynote of the entire affair, from the
unique decorations to the dinner serv-
Ice itself. Along the panels of the
guest room Of the Marion hotel,
w1aere the delightful function was
held, great black cats. with flaming
bows of orange ribbon around their
necks, glared through the outer shad-
pws at the CHEEKY circle of light that
marked the table. A prettier effect
In centerpiece could not have been
achieved IL the goddess Of Plenty had
emptied her traditional horn upon
the table. White and purple grapes.
rosy checked apples and mellow, yell
low pears were heaped in artistic dis
order about the jack-o'-lantern In
the center, while chestnuts, bursting
temptingly out Of their sticky burrs,
invited inquisitive finders to touch
them, II they dared. Place cards, in
perfect keeping with the Individual
dty of the occasion, and pretty favors
marking the places Of the guests,
completed the setting.

ora in which the traditional Hallow-
cen motifs were adhered to, added
to the spirit Of the occasion, while
