JACK LITTLE HOSTESS TO CLASS The Members of the Phoebe Bible : class of the Zien Reformed church • met at the home of Mrs. Jack Little Thursday evening for a Halloween party. The entertaining rooms were decorated with witches and black ■ cats in keeping with the Halloween season. Mrs. Cletus Miller was awarded the prize for guessing the largest number of guests. Games and contests were enjoyed and prizes were awarded to Mrs. Chris Lehman and Mrs. Charles Beineke. Mrs. Tillman Gehrig and Mrs. Dallas Goldner were given prizes for being most cleverly masked. , Later in the evening the guests were invited to the diningroom . where a delicious luncheon was , served by the hostess assisted by i Mrs. Otto Kirsch. Mrs. George Thomas, Mrs. Arthur Breiner and Mrs. Edgar Gerber. The meeting of the United ChrisI tian Missionary society, which was • to have been held at the home of Mrs. Oren Schultz this evening has been p> .itponed until next month. The Philo class of "the Baptist Sunday school will meet Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Harold I Baughn on North Eleventh street, i Mrs. Clarence Walther will be assisting hostess. The Busy Bee home economics club of St. Mary’s township will meet at the home of Mrs. Otis Shifferly Friday afternoon at one-thirty o'clock. All members are requested •to note the change in day from Thursday to Friday. A good attendance is desired as election of officers will be held. An aluminum demonstration will also be given at the meeting. SHOWER GIVEN RECENT BRIDE Miss Catherine Murphy delightfully entertained with a miscellaneous shower Thursday evening at the Homesteads in honor of Mrs. Edward, Martz, who was formerly Miss Louise Reidenbach of Van Wert, Ohio. During the evening games of bridge and bunci. were played. Prizes were given to Mrs. Leo Teeple and Mrs. Glen Barkley for 1 bridge and Miss Madeline Spahr for bunco. The prizes were then presented to the guest of honor. The shower gifts were arranged on a cleverly decorated table with a

call and told him to say something to the audience. He started to splutter and Mae stopped him. "All right,” she said, "that’s enough.” It got a howl from the audience. “After the show." says Mae, “I asked him what he was thinking about and he told me he couldn't think of a thing. All right. I said, I'm going to call on you tomorrow night the same way. You be thinking of something to say. "Now. look at him.” says Mae. “You can’t get him off the floor.” Another day and we are watching Shirley Temple at work in her new picture, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”. It is a barnyard scene, complete to the pigeons on the roof and to a litter of baby pigs, which are too intent on their dinner to bother about a motion picture camera or the glare of studio lights and reflectors. Shirley is wearing her new hairdress in this picture. We ask Mrs. Temple to describe it for you. “Just say her curls have been parted in the back and tied in a bunch over each ear," declares Shirley’s mama. She asks us to stress the fact that the curls have not been cut off and that Shirley's hair has not been plaited into pigtails. The other

day, it seems, London* called with the wild rumor that the starlet's hair had all fallen out due to an illness. Another change has come over the screen's No. 1 child star. Shirley has reached the {

punning age. There are a number of chickens on the set and someone says: “My, what a fine looking rooster.” , , . “Yes," says Shirley, "he’s a real roostercrat.” Mrs. Temple smiles a little helplessly. “Well,” she says, Shirley wouldn't be George Temples, daughter if she di<M’t like to pun, I
