foliage and flowers. The guests were 
received in silence by witches and a 
ghost and after a short business meet- 
ing the games and “stunts” were en- 
tered into with enthusiasm. There 
was a doughnut race, a novel rice 
race, a peanut race, an archery con- 
test and a drawing contest, besides 
the old - fashioned Hallowe en’ 
“stunts” whereby one finds out the 
characteristics of one’s future hus- 
band, etc. Perhaps the most popular 
spot of the evening was the fortune 
teller’s tent where Mother Ennongim, 
the original Manchester witch, held 
sway. Here palms were read, card 
tricks explained and a specialty was 
made of crystal gazing. An informal 
repast of sandwiches, gingerbread, 
doughnuts, fruit, nuts and sweet cider 
was served in the little parlor off the 
main room. The committee was as fol-

The Beverly women members of the 
Y. M. C. A. auxiliary, are longing for 
a good day tomorrow, November 1, to 
see their paper The Beacon. They have 
had an edition of 10,000 copies printed 
and they hope to sell every copy at 10 
cents per, thus raising a big part of the 
$1500 deficit which they have undertak- 
en to secure. 
Incidentally The Beacon is a bright 
little paper—in magazine form, 24 
pages in size, and just filled with inter- 
esting readings. A large picture of 
Mrs. Taft, for four summers a resident 
of Beverly, adorns the whole front page. 
There are articles on the work of the 
various clubs and organizations in which 
the women are prime factors; articles 
on Beverly history, and — there, we will 
not go into details. Everybody ought 
to buy a paper and help the good cause 
along. 
Those who are unable to get a copy 
of The Beacon tomorrow, or who want 
to get extra copies may do so by writing 
the Beverly Y. M. C. A. 
It might be stated in passing that the 
paper was printed at the Breeze office in 
Manchester, where copies may be pur- 
chased by Manchester people Saturday. 
Mr. and Mrs. James H. Evans of 
Montclair, N. J., have been among the 
visitors at Beverly Farms the past week.
