MERRY HALLOWEEN PARTIES
Young People of Dallas Keep Vigil
of All Saints' Day Last
Thursday.
Miss Kuth VanOrsdel entertained a
company of about thirty-live of her
young friends at the home of her par
ents, Thursday evening, with one of
the most elaborate Hallowe'en parties
that has ever been given in Dallas.
The rooms upstairs and down were
richly decorated in evergreens and
autumn leaves, while in every room
two or three big jack-o-lanterns
grinned at the guests with jovial
effulgence. A black-robed spook
greeted them atthedoor with aclammy
handshake and half a dozen ghosts,
swathed in white, and stationed at
various points on the hall stairs,
directed them silently to an upper
room where they relieved themselves
of hats and wraps.
The major part of the evening was
spent in Halloween games, during
which ghosts and goblins kept the
more timid guests In an incessant
flurry of excitement with their sepul
chral voices and the dismal clanking
of chains, and an enchantress in the
parlor dealt out fortunes that were
sometimes confirmed and sometimes
confuted by a witch who ran opposition
in a room upstairs. Miss Opal Mc
Devitt added to the many pleasures of
the evening by several instrumental
and vocal solos.
After an elegant luncheon had been
served the guests amused themselves
by turning down the lights and telling
ghost stories until the striking of the
deck warned them that Halloween had
ended.
Those present were: Misses Edna
Hall, Frances Byers, Emroy Mc
Devitt, Ada Osfleld, Emma Dempsey,
Eula Philips, VeraCosper, NolaCoad,
Frankie Hayter, Georgia Martin, Al
meda Fuller, Jennie Muscott, Dessa
Ridgeway. Flora McCallon, Maud
Robertson, Anna Stafrin, Olive Smith,
Lena Byers, Opal McDevitt, Etta
Phillips, Roberta McCallon ; Messrs.
John Simonton, August Risser, Claude
Simson, Harry Byers, Leif Finseth,
Max Hamilton, Chauncey Crider,
Elmer Streyer, Irwin Cone, Vernie
Compton, Carl Fenton, Dean Collins,
Gilman Nunn and Walter Muir.
A pleasant Halloween party was
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
G. L. Hawkins, Thursday night. In
both decoration and entertainment,
the young men who gave the party
made every effort to produce the most
weird and unusual effects possible,
and they succeeded perfectly.
After various games had been
indulged in, luncheon was served in
two courses. The first was a bogus
banquet to whet the appetite of the
guests, and the second a most delicious
spread consisting of all kinds of
dainties appropriate to the season.
Among those present at this enter
tainment were : Mr. and Mrs. G. L.
Hawkine, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Soenren,
Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Guy, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred West, Mrs. W. R. Ellis; Misses
Caroline Burch, Ollie Howe, Olive
Smith, Jessie Pugh, Effle Brown,
Fannie Dempsey, Ora Collins, Ednelle
Collins, Evangeline Hart, Maude
Hart, Nora Robertson, Mina Hughes,
Myrtle DeHaven, Phoebe Lamberson ;
Messrs. Harry Gaynor, Wea Elliott,
C. D. Chorpening, R. E. Williams,
R. R Hill and W. I. Ford.
Halloween was celebrated by the
young people of the Christian Church,
in a most appropriate manner, at tne
home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Seymour,
Thursday evening. The guests were
welcomed into rooms weirdly decorated
with autumn leaves and jack-o-lanterns,
by a host of uncanny sprices.
They were then brought into the
presence of a Hindoo philosopher,
who told their past, present and futuro
in a most blood-curdling manner.
After this they were seated and each
one requested to relate his or her
'experience" in earning money for
the church organ fund. The lights
were turned out at the end of their
"experience" session, and the even
ing's celebration was closed by a series
of ghost stories, followed by a mid
night banquet

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no
flowers, no leaves November I" Many
Americans would add no freedom
from catarrh, which is so aggravated
during this month that it becomes
nnnntant.lv troublesome. There is
abundant proof that catarrh is a con
stitutional disease. It is related to
scrofula and consumption, being one
of the wasting diseases. Hood's Sar
saDarilla has shown that what is
capable of eradicating scrofula, com
pletely cures catarrh, and taken in
time prevents consumption. We can
not see how any sufferer can put off
taking this medicine, in view of the

up for the southern division of the

Astoria Laughs at Portland.
The money stringency is laughed at
ia Astoria. A number of leading
business men who enjoy personal
acquaintance with Governor Chamber
lain and wanted to "jolly" the chief
executive got together Saturday and
framed a petition asking him to con
tinue the holiday. The petition was
inscribed on a large sheet of paper,
his portrait was pasted on the lower
part, and the signatures of the peti
tioners written around it The peti
tion reads as follows :
"Astoria, Nov. 2 To His Excellency
George E. Chamberlain Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that we have had
nearlv 48 hours of continuous rainfall
since April 1 last, and in view of the
further fact that the salmon eaten inis
year is only $2,468,000 as against
$2,468,030 last year, and also con
sidering the fact that immigration
and the birth rate have largely
increased Astoria's population this
year, but more especially because we
would enjoy a holiday, being constitu
tionally opposed to work, we have the
honor to petition your excellency to
declare a legal holiday for a period of
six months to enable us to stand off
our creditors while taking life easy.
p. s. We have changed our minds.
Give us a year."
