Halloween Party

Miss Doris Tantish delightfully."-
entertained 35 of her friends at
Halloween party recently at her
home on South street. The rooms
were beautifully decorated in orange
and black and as becomes the season
OF the year autumn leaves, ferns,
corn stalks were much in evidence, a
gray squirrel sitting on bed of moss
in the. corner of the living room add
ed much to the decorations. The,
guests were met upon their arrival
by ghost who led them through the
back yard where they were met by
witch carrying a basket. requiring
each to pay a forfeit before they en-
tered the house of mystery. They
were then lead into the living room
which was dimly lighted with jack
o'-lanterns and candles. Each guest
was presented with caps which were
the favors for the evening. Many
yards of ribbon were measured, rows
of potatoes dug and baskets of
STRAWBERRIES picked before the for
feits were redeemed, which caused
much fun among the guests. Duck
ing for apples and q cracker race
were INDUCED In. Fortunes in wal
nut shells were a pleasing feature of
the evening. Nictrola and piano music
were enjoyed, vocal solos were rem
dered by Miss Flora Cowett and
dancing was also enjoyed. True
Halloween refreshments were served
by Miss Tantish. who proved to be
most charming hostess. -.

British Send French
Note on Reparations

Paris, Oct al (By A. P)-The
British government, through its am
bassador. the Marquis of Crew, has
sent two. communications to the
French foreign office, which were re-
ceived there as in Happy accord with
the conciliatory spirit shown by
France in recent intercourse between
the two countries. %
The first note drew the French for
eign officers attention to the jiridi-
cal consequences which might be en-
tailed by the separation of Germany
from certain provinces, in that such
provinces were not signatories of the
treaty of Versailles and so would not
directly have assumed obligations
laid upon the Reich by this treaty.
II has been reported that the note
contained various statements. includ-
ing criticism of certain measures TAX
en- by the French and BeIgians in the
zones OF occupation, but It can be
said that the note Is limited to the
above declaration. based on the
treaty Of Versailles. An identical
communication was made to the Bel
CLAN government.
The second not contained a pro-
posal to the French government to
send a joint British. French italian
ana Belgian invitation to the United
States to be- represented on the COM
mission Of experts which will be
charged with the task OF making an
economic investigation into Ger
many's capacity for the payment Of
reparations and the means Germany
possesses to fulfill her obligations.
