Bank o£ Mc­ Henry. fetckUr B«ri Ent*rtaia One of the very pretty Halloween parties of the year took place at the McHenry House last Friday evening, when William and Carlie Bickler en­ tertained a company of their young friends. The guests arrived about 8:30 and were met on the- verada by the witch. The visitors were told to follow the spdokish-looking one and were led into the sitting room of the hotel, thence to the dining room and from there up stairs to the land of spooks and ghosts. This it surely was, as at every turn the visitors' eyes were met by ghoists, witches, goblin •men, etc. As the guests passed thru the long, dimly lighted hall way, real "life" ghosts greeted them at every door. Rumbling sounds were heard from all directions and every step brought new terrors. Shrieks and cries were heard all over the spacious hotel. To cap the climax the witch led them- into the haunted chamber. Beneath a white spread on a table in the center of the room lay the man of mystery. Only his hat ahd boots w'ere- visible from beneath. With the excitement over, the young people left their Wraps and were again escorted down stairs, where the evening's fun took place. The sit­ ting room, parlor and dining room were most prettily decorated for the occasion. Autumn leaves, Jack-o'- lanterns, pumpkins, and miniature lighted owls formed a spectacle pretty to behold. Leading from the sitting room was the fortune telling quarters. Here each guest had hisbr her fortune told by the witch. Hallowe'en games, songs and music made up an evenieg of rare fun and gayety. At an appro­ priate hour the young people were led into the dining hall, wl^ere a sumptu­ ous repast was awaiting them. The^ dining hall and table were most taste­ fully decorated, the black and yellow effect being used exclusively. Hal­ lowe'en tavors were given each guest. All told, the affair proved one of the most enjoyable held here this year. MIM Lillian Pauaa EntwUlu Last Saturday evening there gath­ ered a jolly and good patured band of Hallowe'en celebrators at the home of Miss Lillian Pouse, there to partake of the well known sports of the occasion. They came fifteen strong, challenged at the door by his mighty highness, the ghost of the Jack-o'-lanterns. Sat isfying'this demon by becoming thoroly frightened, the guests were admitted to the interior, surrounded by Jack-O" lanterns, witches and bats. During the succeeding four hours revelry was at its height, showing the participants new tricks and games, to the sorrow of some and the joy of others. Collecting a huge appetite, the Jack- o'-lanterns and guests annihilated the refresh ments as the clock struck twelve, after which all departed for their var­ ious homes. Those present were: Misses Mar­ guerite Knox, Lola J3oyle, Frances Welch, Mayme Ibsch, Ella Mollolian, Eleanor Phalin, Lillian Pouse, Messrs. Clinton Martin, Paul Doherty, Will Powers, Robert Knox, Tom Doherty. Raymond Powers, Edwin Knox and John Bolger.
