OCEAN VIEW

Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Hooker was in
vaded by a merry crowd of mas
queraders, members of the Sewing
Circle of the Presbyterian Church of
Ocean View. An air of silence and
mystery reigned for a time, and
many were the guesses "WhO is
whO?" The house was decorated
with branches of bright cOlored au-
tumn leaves. Soon all were invited
to go one at a time to the Witchs
Den, which was in a dark recess of
a hall. Large boughs of trees form
ed a typical woods scene. An i'm
mense black cat, four feet tall was
the companion of the old witch.
Hung on a tripod of long sticks
hung an old iron pot, under which
was a flame. The old witch sat stir
ring the contents of the pot, silent
| ly handing to each in their turn a
slip of paper foretelling their fu-
| ture. After reading these, all the
party unmasked with many laughs
when they discovered "WhO was
who" Strung about the rooms up
stairs and downstairs were long
strands of strings, twined and mat
ted, representing cODwebs. Each
guest went to the witch's den to
! find the starting point of his or her
webb, then all proceeded to wind up
their web, following the string un-
til the end, on which was tiny
prize. After much fun of untangling,
they opened their prize packages
and soon the dignified men and wo-
men, as well as the children, were
seen blowing whistles, putting at
balloons, eating sticks of candy and
lollipops and holding tiny flags and
dolls. Some literary games were
played by the older members. Re-
freshments were served by two
charming Red Cross nurses and a
farmer boy and girl.
At late hour the party left after

enjoyed the fun and thanked her for
the use of her home.
