The very incest Halloween party
I've heard of yet had at the begin
ming no intentions of being Hal
loween party at all. 1t was just a
spontaneous combustion of Hal
loween party originally, and now
with the years it has taken on the
proportions of a young rodeO.
1t all started innocuously enough
some years ago when a few neigh
borhood children in fancy costumes
dropped in for an apple and
doughnut on Mr.. and Mrs. George
Marott, who live on the corner of
Thirty-Third street and Washing
ton boulevard. The idea was so
thoroughly appreciated by the
youngsters that by this Halloween
the party began to take on all the
earmarks of an infantile brawl and
Mrs. Marott was almost overcome
by her own hospitality. was told
that she had to have a door man at
the front door to keep the line
moving some 300 guests in all in
steady stream from the front door
through the dining room and out at
the back door From a gentle
neighborhood affair it has taken on
a civic aspect and if steps aren't
taken in another year it will in all
likelihood become a presidential
campaign with Mrs. Marott con-
trolling all north Indianapolis votes.
And the children just adore it and
get the biggest kick in the world
out of their self-originated party.
I'm just full of little odds and
ends which I must dispose of sum-
marily before I go on in a big way
about Padriac Colum, who was in
Indianapolis not long ago.
First and foremostly in case you're
interested, and just about all of you
are, Mrs. John Bakers address in
Evanston is West Tower apartments,
613 Sheridan drive. You'd better
write it down so you won't forget
You'll De wanting her for some
thing or other before long. She is
living in an apartment about four
squares from the one in which Mrs.
Yale Rice lives. Which reminds me
that Mabel Gasaway has been mac
cesSible all week, having been visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Rice.
Mrs Fred Bates johnson had a
luncheon Monday at the Nashville
House in Brown county for her
sister -in-law, Mrs. WHY'S Peck Wag-
ner. 1t was a stunning day for
motoring and Mrs. j. T. McDermott,

Ritchey, and 1 thought to slip down

so our Dorothea. Dorothea had not

fullest extent to see just how fast

not all in the cornfields. We whisked
past nice color meleeS of deep brown,
wine red and old gold. and at the
first gasp were in Edinburg. Two
more full breathS and we slowed
up-just perceptibly-for something
that vaguely reminded me of Co

couple of what felt like hills-and
10! we were in Nashville.
After a prodigiouS feast of baked
ham, cider and sweet potatoes, and
little individual pumpkin pies with
! whipped cream on them, nothing
seemed interesting except the cute
little beds upstairs to curl up on
and take a nice long nap. But
Dorothea was interested in seeing if
we could make the grade home in
forty-tive minutes instead of the
conventional two hours.

about to see if anybody, oh Lord,
had an extra seat in her car-any-
body, that is, that would be content
to relax to a mere fifty mile an
hour gait. But Dorothea was in a
hurry so into her car we plopped
once more, knowing that it wouldn't
be long now until we were in IN
dianapolis-or Heaven. After knock
ing few trucks off the road and
Swirling around a couple of i'm

fashion, we arrived home a tri7e
cock-eyed, but intact. At any rate,
we know to the mile just how fast
that car will go!
