With the house dark, weird and
mysterious; with ghosts. witches
and phantoms everywhere; with

ed through long and mysterious ave-
nues to where the Fortune Witch

with black pot and other utensils
of her art, dealt out artistic and
original fortunes, which when read
to the assembled crowd later, caus-
ed much merriment.
A short business session was held,
presided over by the president, Mrs.
Charles w. Reid, and after all re-
ports were made and the business
concluded a mysterious lady" who
had been standing among the shrub
berry in the Vestibule during the
evening, was ushered in by Mrs. A.
E. Num- with the request that "she"
be given home. Mrs. Reid asked
that the "lady's" headgear and
cloak be removed, and soon it was
discovered after some clever I'M
dressing by Mrs. w. G.. Abbott, that
the lady" was a beautiful hand
some floor lamp, which Mrs. Reid
in beautifully worded speech pre-
sented in behalf of the class to MI.
Hudson as a token of appreciation
for the kindness and helpfulness in
many ways towards promoting the
welfare and pleasures of the class.
In accepting the gift, Mr.. Hudson
assured the president that it was
always a pleasure to be with the
class and he considered it an honor
to be associated with this organiza-
ton. Attached to he lamp were
several cards with humorous refer
ences to funny and happy episodes
happening during some of their
truck rides to various places.
