5aptists Hold Social.
Eastern Star Social.

The Halloween social given by the
Eastern Star last evening in their hall
in the Masonic temple was one of the
most enjoyable functions of the sea
son There were oyereighty present
members Of the Star and their guests
The opening of the festivities came
when those attending were ushered
into the darkened room, where jack
o lanterns cleaned on all sides, and
ghostlv ushers shrouded in white
greeted the guests with cold, clammy
hands, causing delightful shiver to
run down the spine of the timid. 1t
was a realistic representation of the
Halloween superstition so dear to the
recollection of former years.
Games were then the order Of tire
evening. and all Joined with hearty
good will in the social time, One
game played was new adoption of
the old stage coach game. where
chairs were placed back to back and
the guests were seated in two rows
up and down the hall Mrs. S. r
Lewis, presiding at the piano, played
a spirited march to which the pro
cession marched around the chairs
until the music stopped, whereupon
each one sat down in the nearest
chair. As there were not enough
chairs the unlucky ones were counted
out. OF course the trick is to catch
some one on the end, where the cessa-
ton of the music left them. This was
continued until only one was left.
The fun caused by the. scramble for
chairs at the stoppage OF the music
was as amusing to the onlooker as to
the ones in the march.
Our friend. F.. R. Chandler sat on
the side lines until he felt he had
fully mastered the game, then he was
persuaded to take part; he perceived
the ends were the stragetic points,
and he should be barred from future
participation in such games, as when
he came to the end, he adroitly seized
the last chair and slipped it around
the corner, thus keeping seat But
he was finally caught at this game
and one of the ushers unceremonious-
ly deprived him of the chair, so he
was at last counted out.
Then the guests settled DOWN u
playing cards, bunco and other games
suitable, until supper was announced,
which was served on the cafeterial
style. The refreshments consisted of
pumpkin pie, doughnuts, coffee and
ice cream. In this connection, Sam
Eppstein presided over the cream
pitcher, and we noticed that all the
pretty girls got plenty of cream in
their coffee, but he was sparing with
mere men. This person should be
barred from charge Of the cream in
the future.
Altogether, this was one Of the most
enjoyable affairs of the season, and
the guests left about midnight feeling
that such times added to the joys OF
living.
