It was the first sooial night after the .summer vaoation and that the paoe was well set for the eomlng season no one will dispute who was In attend ance. Inasmueh aa the date was so close to Halloween, the idea of mak ing this an Halloween sooial was con ceived by the committee and was moBt admirably f carried out. Before the social feature was taken up, Mies Clara Wood, Dr. Carter and Clarence Meeker were initiated into the order. The program for the so cial oonsialed of a vooal solo by Miss Enid Hamilton, aooompanied by Miss Venita Hamilton; comio recitation of Miss Alida Cox ; a : piano duet by Mrs. (J. H. Edmonds and Mr. Wake field ; a whistling solo by Sr. Butler, aooompanied by Mrs. Edmonds; a vo cal solo by Miss Gertrude Wilson, ao oompanied by Mr. Wakefield. The paraphernalia rooms were spookishly and elaborately decorated with clammy, shivery articles. This was the witohes' abode and was decorated with skulls, black cats, brooms, a witcheB' kettle, and by no means the least of all, was the real, genuine witch in the person of Miss Alida Cox. The witohe's kettle had been ar ranged with kindling wood, red tissuo paper and an Jelectrio light beneath and in appearanoe it very muob re sembled the genuine oavern kettle that in our obildbood days we remem ber reading of.

Partners for supper were ohosen by matohing oard out oblong and con taining parts of some familiar quota tion.
