ance ran out last week."
Norman was crushed with a sense
Of his culpability. He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo-
pie he had ever known. He skulked
behind hedge as a group of girls
came along. They were discussing
the fire so excitedly that they paid no
attention to lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He startled her by
stepping directly in her path.
Just linger for moment, will you.
Milly?" he spoke under high agita-
ton. "or I'll walk with you bit. Tn
In terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good" and Norman re-
cited the entire story of the evening.
There's only one way out, don't you
see 1t, Milly?' he said. Il don't dare
to face Farmer Logan I'm going away
to make something Of myself, and the

my truest friend and have always

Five years went by. Not word

entire year. There are many interest
ing ways of entertaining New Years
party, but the favorite Of all Is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way of having this sort of
entertainment is to give ghost party.
The Invitations read in this manner
Our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene
The shades OF many notables
To meet you New, Years cen.
Well look for you, you know,
To help to make things go,
And incidentally to meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.
There should be 20 or more guests,
and after the invitations have gone
out, the hostess has little private
chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them to come
dressed to represent some famous per-
son now dead, pantomime, words, GEES
lures and costume being used to carry
out the impersonation.
Dressed in misty black robe COW
cred with stars cut from gold paper,
the hostess will receive her guests in
room draped all in white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be used for this. No
word Is spoken, until q little red Imp
distributes cards and pencils to the
assembled guests. Then each in turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
to suit his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number
correctly receives pretty copy Of the
hook. Ghosts I Have Met"
Games. contests and dancing will
follow, and the supper or refresh
ment table will be filled with things
tempting enough to attract even the
most ghostly appetite. The table dec
oratious should correspond with the
festivities Of the season. A New
Years pie made Of crepe paper over a
deep pan Is filed with dainty little
favors for the guests or cards upon
which some funny rhyme Is written
for each individual guest. Part Of the
entertainment for the evening may
be the telling Of fortunes, Informing

Norman marched out OF the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o'clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous Of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re-
Gently he had been dared by his COM
panions to smoke cigarette. He
had met the dare and now, with two
of them In his pocket. he lit one, and,
In sheer rebellion against his fathers
system, was about to pun out his re-
sentiment when the signal cry Of his
comrades echoed forth. Carelessly
