Prank and Caper Centuries Old Revived aa Vaual thla Year to Celebrate Time-Honored Peatfral. Hallowe'en is one of the most delightful opportunities in the year for informal entertaining, for at that time there is a certain infectious gayety which Insures success to any hospitable enterprise. There is perhaps no other night when popular imagination is given freer play than on this occasion. Such extraordinary hotiona and remarkable practices as those connected with tha feast of Hallowe'en, is clearly a pagan idea, for there ia nothing in the church observance of All Saints day that would call forth such ideas. Last night Hammond was the scene of many partiea and in raaay homes the evening was observed in a social way. A vast army of boyn and girls were abroad, making morry and perpetrating jokes on the unwary, as has been the custom for many yevirs. Grinning goblins, elves, witches and ghosts held high carnival, while the spectral flames of the witch-lights cast flickering and grotesque shadows about, and the small, mischievous boys w.ere in their glory. Young women walked down stairs backward, holding a candle in one hand and a looking glass ia the o.Xier, believing the person whose face appeared ia the mirror, as she reached the last step, to te her betrothed. And to find out if their lovers were faithful, burned nuts. Maidens were seen stewing to Harrison park, where they knelt and peered into the lagoon expecting the likeness of the face of their future husband to appear in the water. The most elaborate affair in celebration of Hallowe'en was a dinner given by tire ladies of the Alpha Phi club for the members of the club and their husbands. The scene of this event was the beau'tiful home of Mf. and Mrs. V. II. HamMond in South I'ohman street and the lour was 6:30 o'clock. Little Florence Hammond assisttnl In receiving, Jacko'-lanterns with glaring eyes and cavernous mouth; were used In decoration. The tables were made beautiful with pumpkin bowls of fruit and celery and were lighted with candles, with bright, red apples u&ed as candle-sticks. Later in the evening the guests bobbed for apples and enjoyed other Hallowe'en games, afterward rendering glees and folk songs. Mra. Archie Chave. of Montreal, and Mrs. T. L. Gillis of Angola, Ind., were guests of the club for the evening. The other guests ware, Messrs. and Mesdames S. A. Bell, E. W. Bump. Robert Gillis, W. H. Hammond, Frank Hammond, H. H. Henry, W. A. Hill. C. G. Hohman, V. J. McAleer, Frank Williams and R. Winkler. Seventy of Hammond's merriest young people gathered at Long's hall yesterday evening for the dancing party given in celebration of Halloween by young men from the offices of the various manufacturing concerns. The young people tripped ft on the
light fantastic toe to music furnished by Eisner's orchestra. Among those in attendance were Misses Isabell Morrison, Mayme Mashina, Theresa Dorsey, Anna and Genevieve Hastings. Edith Prest, Lulu Sherby, Josephine Hoban, Carolyn Johnson, Elsa Masephol. Olwin Harris, and Phronret; Messrs. R. C. Hobbs. Evcles, W. D. Edwards, P. Smith, R. W. Livingston, F. R. Thompson, S. P. Goodrich, A. Horsey, F. Blackum, S. Engleton, William Kain, J. J. Kennedy, II. W. Marprenau, Charles Hicks, John Gaffney, Glenn Ebright, H. M. Smith, W. R. Riley, S. S. Spencer, and C. A. Seyfarth. Mr. and Mrs. Fremont acted as chaperons. The Colonial club entertained their husbands at a Hallowe'en party at the pretty homo of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Brunt, 454 Plummer avenue. The decoiations were characteristic of Hallowe'en. The guests were received by ghosts In darkened rooms, lighted only by jack-o'-lanterns. Many wierd costumes were effected and old charms tried. Supper was served and the guests toasted marshmallows in the midst of awful ghost stories. Among those present were Messrs. and Mesdames Galer, Bruce, Olwin, Reid, Learning, Houser. Spellman, Brunt and Petyt of Auburn Park, Mrs. Addie Abbott and Mis Madge Mclntyre. The dancing party given by the Fin dcSiecle club In Tod opera house in East Chicago, and the "nert Nous club in Chopin hall, last night, were well attended and proved enjoyable affairs. The halls were made festive with Halloween decorations. A large number of Hammond young people were present at the party in East Chicago. The home of Gretchen Bauer in
South Hohman street was gayly decor
ated with grotesque-faced jack-o'-lan
terns and autumn leaves over which
the goblin lights cast wierd and mys
terious shadows, yesterday evening when the members of the junior class
In the high school held sway at an oldfashioned Hallowe'en party. The even
ing was devoted to games and dancing and a luncheon appropriate to Hal-
lowe en was served. Those present
were Misses Florence Shea, Bardie Rip
ley, Norma Robbins, Grace Kingwill, Frances Ifsmacher, Gertrude Krause,
Frances Hutton and Gretchen Bauer. Messrs. Robert McIIie, Charles Shea, Harry Booth, Raymond Fox, Hollis Hunter, James Vedder, Ralph Parsons,
William Hutton and Walter Bauer.
Mrs. C. W. Campbell entertained the Ladies' Aid society of the Baptist church this afternoon at her home in Truman avenue. The executive board of the Hammond Woman's club will meet this evening at the home of the president, Mrs. H. F. Meikle, at 7:30 o'clock:
Little Irene Kenworthy was hostess to a few of her playmates in the neighborhood of her parent's home. The usual Halloween customs were carried out and were gratly enjoyed by the children. The little guests were Robert Pugh, Katherlne Sharrer, Joseph and Leonard Hirsch, Helen Atkinson and Cyril and Walter Bell.
Other affairs of last night where young people joined hands with the witches and goblins and danced around a tripod from which hung a huge kettle above a smouldering fire, chanting creepy incantations and other Halloween practices and customs, by the light of grinning jack-o'-lanterns, were parties at the homes of Lena Shoryer, Dolly Stinson, Misses Swanton, Hazel Fox, May Rhorman. Lillian Boyle and Misses Price. The pupils and teachers of the Chicago Business college gave a farewell reception last evening in Weis hall to W. S. Pierce, the former manager who leaves today for Milwaukee. The decorations and refreshments were suggestive of Halloween. Musical numbers were given by the Adkins family. Mr. Faust spoke on penmanship and Messrs. Bothinger, Pierce and Virden gave brief addresses. The affair proved one of the most enjoyable of the Halloween events. MARRIAGE I.ICEXSES.

Sheer lawn or linen is used for the
