I GHOSTS AND GOBLINS I reign at psi iota party The most delightful of Halloween i I patties was enjoyed Thursday eveni g htg, by members of the Psi lota Xi SorJ ority, when they responded to- an inviI tation issued by Mrs. J. W. Rice, Mrs. I Leo Kirsch, Miss Kathryn Nichols and I Mrs. Ralph Gentis. The guests arrived I in masquerade costume at the Gentis I home on West Marshall street, and I "'ete ushered into rooms quite replete I with Halloween festooning. The lights I "ere softened with shadings of HallowI een colors. Pumpkin faces, black cats, I autumn leaves, and ghosts all aided to I increase the spirit of the season. A I Grand March was the first feature of | entertainment cn the evening’s proI gram. Mrs. Leigh Bowen was awarded | the prize for being the best masked. I Masks were then removed and a I doughnut eating contest indulged in. | Mrs. Wm. Lenhart proved to have the most ability in doughnut eating and was awarded the prize. Sweet cider ! "a a then served to the guests. The i lights In the rooms were turned out i with the exception of one candle which i * ,ui 'hed in a pumpkin face. As the

guests waited breathlessly for the cause of this mysterious action, a ■ ghost in Its robes of white, appeared on the scene and proceeded to’ chill the spines of the guests with tile most gruesome of ghost stories. Going from the mysteri nt* to the mirth-provoking a minature punch board was brought in, and by punching the board, each guest received a slip requiring them to enact seme foolish stunt. Then the goblins appeared again, and told them that their future Fate depended upon their ability to pass fiom one guest to another, the articles which were passed to them. In the darkness of the room, these were most clammy and disagreeable to the touch and proved to be a rubber glove filled with ice, oysters, macroni, dough etc. The guests were then advised that they would be conducted to the “melting pot’’ where they would hear their fortunes foretold. The melting pot proved to be located in the basement of the house, the only light down there being the one which burned under the pot. To reach the basement, they had to slide down a slide,, walk through narrow isles, over tires, among wire entanglements and It was with great difficulty that they reached the spot wbe#e Mrs. J. W. Rice, disguised as an old witch, sat waiting to read their fortunes. When they again returned upstairs, favors of horns, whistles, clappers etc. were distributed and a band concert indulged in. As a fitting close for the evening, the hostesses served a lovely two-course lunch. The appointments were carried out in Halloween colors and designs with nut cups of o.ange and black. The out-of-town guests in attendance were Mrs. John Baumgardner, of Portland; Mrs. Don Hunslcker, of Reading. Michigan, Mrs. W. E. Huffman. Mrs. Edgar Gerlier, Mrs. J. H. Burroughs and Miss Mary Callow of Fort Wayne. YOUNGER SET ENTERTAINED AT BRIDGE Misses Josephine Jaberg and Charlotte Elzey were hostesses to members of the younger social set, Thursday evening, at a six-thirty o'clock dinner Bridge, which was held at the Elzey home on North Second street. Four tables were set with snowy white linens and silver, and with a tall taper burning in the center of each table. The rooms of the home were beautifully decorated in Halloween suggestions and the deli ious tl|ree-course dinner was carried out in Halloween appointments. Helen Suttles and Maxine Humbarger assisted in serving the guests. The place cards, tallies, etc., were carried out in Hallowen colors and proved most effective. Bridge was played following the dinner and Miss Anna Lankenau was awarded for high score while Miss Josephine Archbold, Miiiam Parish, Josephine Archbold was consoled.

A cornet duet was then rendered by Harold Teeters and Roland Heppert. The beginners or IB students from the three wards were present and sang a group of four songs which were greatly appreciated.
