"COme Join the witch, the ghost, the
cat,
The pumpkin, broom, the owl and
cat"
So said an invitation to a party
for this week. AS we look over the
personalities and things we find they
are all there in that couplet. And
one feels creepy just to think OF
those things, even though we know
Halloween would not be Halloween
without them. Orange and black
have colored the celebrations for
this period and the young folks have
had the usual good time.
&
Miss Helen Pierce arranged
party for her two nieces on Friday
night. The invitation was very mys-
tifying from the beginning because
it did not tell where the party was
to be, but rather said that the guests
would assemble at the marble yard
and follow the ghost that would be
there. That sounded hair-raising to
the guests we are sure. After tour
of investigation the crowd arrived
on Lake Avenue and the Jack-O'-
Lanterns on the steps and porch told
the story. But the surprise was just
as complete to Cornelia Pierce and
Georgianna Macklin, for whom the
party was given as it was to the
other guests. Games were played,
ghost stories were told and refresh
ments were served suitable to the
occasion. The girls were Ruth Anne
Holzmueller, Elizabeth Hammond,
Jean Mulholland, Marjorie Faix,
Betty Manlove, Edna May Simpson,
Marion Simpson, Sara Nutter, Doro-
thy Swain, Anne Pierce, Charlotte
Ryder, Katherine Mayhem and Jane
Herson.

&
Mrs. Charles H. Abbott is enter
tanning a small group Of friends this
evening at her home.
&
The new bridge club spoken of
last week has been named and it
speaks we'll for the members. They
not only are a fine group Of young
folks but their choice of a name
must tell something of their dispo-
sitions. It is Sunny Monday" That
name seems just right. The club
met with Mrs. Earl Atkins with two
substitutes, who were Mrs. William
HalIett and Mrs. Stanley P. Short.
&
The 1920" Bridge Club met with
Mrs. Robert Hall this week.
&

after the busy season is over Mrs.

both before she moves back to Mil

Pratt, Mrs. Robert P. Davis, Miss
Burdella Davis, Mrs. William Penne-
will, of Dover, Mrs. S. M. Truitt and |

affair. All of the favors were in

Mrs. T. Carlisle Collins gave a
bridge party to a host of her friends
at her lovely home on East Front
street, South Milford, on Friday af-
ternoon of last week. There were ,
eleven tables and as usual progress
sive bridge was played. After such
an enjoyable affair and ones luck is
good you feel that you have had a ]
visit with as many friends as you {
have played with for it is still the t
rule that no one in Milford takes ]
their bridge seriously at a large l
party. The guests were Mrs. Edwin {
