HALLOWEEN TRUE
TO TRADITION AT
M. E. PARTY

Methodist Young people and their
| friends to the number of 40 celebrated
| Hallowe 'en Friday night at social hall
OF the Methodist church, in traditional
style.
| The room was decorated in black and
! yellow with witches and black eats
very much in evidence. The electric
| lights were covered with Chinese liant
orns and the effect given the setting
was an atmosphere Of mystery appro
| pirate to the program which followed
| All wore costumes for the occasion, and
| the colro scheme was carried through
the menu.
! The menu was c0uched in weird Ian
| glIage that no guest was able to order
intelligently. Every article was given
| fantastic name and some were greatly
| surprised when they got only tooth
| picks and water, something as grotes-
que, or as little satisfying. ''Witch
| brew was ordered by every one and
proved to be delicious sweet cider
The hostesses took pity on those
| who had ordered badly and permitted
! them to have cakes with the " brew. -
The program of games and stunts was
! particularly clever, consisting of for
tune telling, jumping over candles, Il
journey through the chamber of
Horrors blindfold biting of a sus-
pended apple, jumping through an auto
mobile tire, walking a chain, and all
| such stunts that make such hilarious
! fun for young folks
Miss Margaret Mason, 4th vice presi-
| dent Of the Epworth League, is given
credit for the planning and for the
manner in which everything was kept
moving during the entire evening.
