bers by Ghosts and Grinning jack o Lanterns


Methodist Episcopal Church will
give a Halloween party this evening
in the new recreational room of the
church to which all the young peo-
pie of the congregation have been
invited. Elaborate plans for a reg
ular, old-fashioned party have been
made, with ghosts, witches and other
Halloween spirits controlling events.
The long, narrow room, in which
the guests will meet has been trans
formed into the ghostliest of places.
Black cats, witches and bats glare
menacingly from the walls while
grinning Jack-O'-Lanterns peer
from cozy nests OF cornstalks. A
bent, old witch will Groom above a
magic cauldron, stirring a wierd
concoction, and ruling the destinies
of men. Promptly at o'clock a
ghost will start its roamings, open
ing an evening of fun and mystery
intermingled.
After the spirits have held high
revel the forces of earth will
take charge, serving seasonable re-
freshments.
The committee in charge COM

man; Mrs. Charles W. Boil, Miss
Florence Greybill, Miss Hazelbelle
