HALLOWEEN PARTY WARD

halloween eve was an event Of much
interest and Joy on Ward IT at Otean
when Miss Minnie Gwaltney, ward
mother and one of the most popular
visitors at Oteen, staged party for
the boys.
Halloween characteristics featured
the decorations and the entire lengths
Of the ward and sun parlor were
decorated. Each boy was given a
Jack O. lantern and Gown the length
of the ward on both sides these were
placed ever the electric lights, giving
a grotesque effect and heightening the
Halloween appearance.
Long strips Of gold paper on which
We're printed black cats, bats, witches
and other Halloween ideas gave a
proper background for the sun parlor
while. .sllhouetted against the windows
and walls ere other ideas of a similar
nature. The whole atmosphere was
spooky and shiyery, presenting an
aspect very suitable to the occasion.
Much fun was derived from the vari-
Gus Halloween games and competition
was keen in the efeforts to pin the
tail to the cat and to put the spoon
Of beans in the pumpkins mouth
Prizes, for the most accurate, Were
offered and those making the greatest
failures were consoled with a Hal
oWeen favor.
A prettily decorated table held trays
OF apples, nuts, candy, cake and grapes
and from well filled punch bowl
this delicious beverage was dispensed.
throughout the evening. Favcrs were
pretty fall flowers. The occasion was
a very delightful one indeed among
the sick fellows who sent their al,-
probation and greetings to the Hick-
Dry people. One boy who recently arrlv-
ed in the ward, declared this to be his
first real ENJOYABLE event since going
to the hospital.
The boys from wards IT and Is
who are looked after by the Hickory
people through the ward mothers,
Miss Gwaltney and Mrs. K. C. Men
zies, sent their appreciation to .tha
Hickory Kiwanis club for the hickory
walking sticks recently presented to
them.
The efforts put forth by the Hick-
ory people for the cheer and comfort
Of the boys are greatly appreciated
in the wards and the extent Of the
happiness shared is known only to
those who visit the boys and come in
contact with the routine of hospital
life. Hickory has a great reputa-
tior for friendlinejs and kindness
throughout the hospital reservation
and events such as those put on at Hal

EPWoRTH LEAGUE HAS OUTING
THE HOME DAYS

When the goldenrod has withered,
And the maple leaves are red;
When the robins nest is empty,
And the cricket's prayers are said !;
In the silence and the shadow
Of the swiftly Fastening fall,
Come the dear and happy home DAYS,
Days we love the best Of all.
Then the household gathers early,
And the children cluster sweet,
Till the old hearth in It's brightness
Wears the glory Of the rose;
Then the grandshire thinks Of stories,
And the children cluster swee,
And the floor is just keyboard
For the baby's patterirg feet.
When the goldenrod has faded,
When the maple leaves are red,
When the empty nest is clinging
To the branches overhead,
In the silence and the shadow
Of the hurrying later fall
Come the dear days, come the home
days,
In the year the best of all.

half a Dozen Several Of these were
actually puny affairs. The impression
that Mitchell gave was that he Is almost
too bad a putter to win the champion
ship.
His driving and iron play were mag
nificent, but he certainly did waste them
on the greens. No one can afford to
throw away such shots and win a title
on the links In this present hard driven
age Possibly Abe may show a better
brand OF putting on Thursday and FRI
day, but he does not seem to have the
touch.
Appearing on the scene of stree with
out as much as one practice round Chick
Evans almost provided the days sensa-
ton by falling to qualify. After a "a
in the morning, in the course OF which
he holed out for 2 from bunker at
the thirteenth. Evans proceeded in the
afternoon to give his friends cold
shivers. He lost whatever putting touch
he ever had and he persistently dropped
his ball into bunkers and failed to get
clear in /.
He had a at the thrd ana at
the fourth and he took AZ for the first
nine. That left Evans to come home
in 35 for II and ISL for his thirty
six hole aggregate. He had a ball out
Of bounds on the home hole, but because
OF the hard condition or the course lew
days ago the u. S. G. A. decided that
the penalty of stroke and distance was
too severe.
That rule stood to-day, so that Chick
lost only distance and therefore got his
5. This, 1t was thought. would leave
him on the ragged edge. but as 1t tran
spired he had stroke to spare. Twenty
seven players were found to have 152 or
better. the conditions calling for the
first twenty-four and all ties.
Bob Gardner Fails.
Among those who just failed were
Alex Smith of Shenecossett, Gil Nichols.
Charlie Hall. the long driver OF Bir-
mingham, Ala; Stewart Maiden of At
lanta and Bob Gardner Of Chicago twice
former national amateur champion.
Gardner made a 73 in the morning. with
a S3 for the first nine. That first nine
was his opening and closing flash. for
he took 40 for the second nine and then
in the afternoon piled up 81 strokes
more.
Among those who fought their way
into the qualifying group after a bad
start were Cyril Walker of Englewood
and George Mclean of Grassy Sprain.
Walker put a 72 on top of a II for 149.
Mclean was In really desperate straits
for his opening effort was ISL. But in
the afternoon he played an altogether
different type of game. He was out in
