HALLOWEEN PUN
Not in answer to the call of
ouija boards and yet with every
indication .of having a definite
destination, many spooks w°re
observed wandering round our
streets early yesterday evening
Close observation disclosed the
fact the ghosts were all headed
in the same direction and final
ly disappeared within the hos
pitable doors of the home of
little Geraldine 0‘Neill, who
was entertaining her friends
with a Halloween sheet and pil
lowcase party.
The guests were completely
disguised by their draperies, so
that when the hostess cordially
greeted two gi aceful maidens
with “Good evening, girls!”
“Girls!” Lawrence Barrett's
manly accents soon undeceived
her.
Jolly Halloween games we»e
played, Walter McDonnell and
little Verna Wells secured the
prizes for apple bobbing.
A very substant al lunch
was uisposed ol by these ghcst
ly visitors who by this time had
discarded their spoony attire
and come back to earth.
Dancing completed a wonderful
evening with regrets that Hall*
oween comes but once a year.
