Hallow-e’en Party 
A children’s Hallow-e’en party was 
held in the Women’s Club house 
Wednesday evening. Sixteen chil- 
dren had almost perfect attendance at 
Sunday school last winter and the 
party was for them, each being al- 
lowed to invite one friend. Despite 
the unpleasant weather nearly all in- 
vited were there. Mrs. Harry Foster 
was in charge of the entertainment 
being ably assisted by Miss Amy Ly- 
cett and Miss Alice Sanborn. First 
there was a chestnut hunt in which 
Carrie Dunbar and Colby Staples 
were the winners. There was_ bob- 
bing for apples, then the hall was 
darkened and the witch appeared on 
her broomstick to tell the children a 
story of her black cat and to preside 
over the exercises of pinning a tail 
upon this tail-less felon. In this 
Jennie Brown was most successful, 
Harold Dunbar being second. Each 
contestant received a witch made from 
a clothes-pin with a fortune pinned on 
her back. 
Then came the refreshments with 
cake and ice cream after which the 
children warmed up again by going to 
Jerusalem where Ruth Scott was the 
one to arrive. Last but not least came 
the prize cakes. In the boys’ cake 
the button representing bachelorhood 
went to Timothy McCarthy, the 
money to Ralph Stearns and the heart 
foretelling a happy marriage to Arthur 
Lycett.. In the girls’ cake* the 
thimble was found by Susan Lycett, 
the heart by Jennie Brown and the 
money by Carrie Dunbar. During 
the refreshments Mrs. Colfelt’s Vic- 
tor Talking machine dispensed music 
under the management of Miss 
Augusta Buehl.
