Misses Sophie and Sadie IV Hostesses for Hallowe'e Party. Friday evening it was really j some on the streets of Edgefield, people who were afraid of g] and goblins staid indoors, becau: every corner there was s omet creepy to be seen or heard, . sometimes both seen and heard, in the end, the largest congreg? of mysterious spirits were seen w ing their way singly, in pairs o groups to "Sunderland," the h of Miss Sadie Mims, where they decided to have a real party, where everything was prepared their coming and was made coi nial and appropriate. 3?he whole house was arranged suite, so that the mysterious gu would not know they were in a hi built by human hands. The fl< were all covered with, pine neei which were as aromatic as a i forest, the walls were covered v the most vivid colors of auto leaves and great trees hid the < ners so that it seemed to be a wo land dell in a great forest. As the phantoms and weird ci tures began to arrive they were i at the front walk by a large, wi ghost, who murmured in gutte tones for them to "follow the rop This led them across the lawn z winding in and out through * hedges and grass, finally brouj them to the b?ck gate where tl were met by another ghost, this ti with clanking chains and pointi up the back steps. As they ascend the steps, another spirit greet them by dropping a heavy tin pan the hard concrete floor of the por< This frightened the phantoms < pecially who cannot bear noise, a if it had not been for their curiosi which is an indivisible part of ghost, they would have taken tl as an opportunity to silently ste away. And, as if that was n enough, as the guests ascended tl stairs a terrific black spider, mu worse than Miss Mtiffett's, ke dangling down from the wall ai bobbing in the faces ol' them all u till they were fairly frightened oi of their wits. At the top of the steps a wit( appeared and presented them wi! souvenirs, heads only, cf cats, devil and bats. As they descended tl stairs wearing these charms, the found themselves in a sylvan retrea where bats and owls had lit upc the trees and shrubbery, and whei corn stalks and witches, skulls an Jack 'o lanterns with bright lighl in their eyes were mlakihg merr under the orange shaded lights, an the brass candelabras with yello1 candles. And there was music, too, whic charmed them, and a contest was th answering: of questions which the h?M, with the names of articles pir ned here and there on curtains things pertained to Hallowe'en. As the contest was finished, a tal witch beckoned them all out oi the lawn ,where pale Luna's gleam * added a mystic light, and around ; pot under which real fire blazed, am which was the real witch's cauldroi which Shapkespeare wrote about they were handed their fortunes And the best part about it all wai that their fortunes were all good and fine enough to make even ghost! and witches laugh, and turn then silence into merriment as the for tunes were read aloud. By this time every body was? ir good spirits, and returning in the house, each one blindfolded stuck a tiny pumpkin on the eye of a large canvas pumpkin, Miss Virginia Ad dison succeeding in this and received a tiny silver pencil. Miss Gladys Padgett won the ladies' prize, a box of yellow station ery, in the first contest and Mr. Rainsford Cantelou the gentleman's prize, a black and orange tie. The dining room was decorated in black and yellow with festoons from the chandelier to the corners of the table, where a silver basket filled with fruits centered a lace cov er over yellow. The mint holders were tiny orange and black baskets. An elaborate salad course and fruit nectar was served in picnic plates and wax drinking cups, the napkins being ornamented with Hal lowe'en figures. Misses Effie Allen Lott and Margaret Allen assisted in serving. As each of the sixty-five guests departed Misses Sophie ,and Sadie Mims, the fair hostesses, gave each one a goodnight Hallowe'en "kiss," wrapped in yellow paper. This beautiful party was the most elaborate and original of the parties given at this season, and has been the subject of much merry conver sation since the auspicious event took place.

Hallowe'en gives a wonderful op portunity for the young people to arrange something really interesting and grotesque. On Friday at William Strom's home the B. Y. P. U. gave a very de lightful party and the best part pf it is that they did it all themselves. Each one was dressed in costume, and ghosts, witches and creatures from unheard of countries appeared on the scene. Autumn leaves and flowers, black cats, bats, Jack o' lan terns made an appropriate back ground for the merriment which pre valed. 1'he colors were yellow and black and the souvenirs were little round boxes containing candy in black and yellow wrappings. Fruit punch and all sorts of fruit was in evidence everywhere in this Hallowe'en land, and on the outside on the lawn Japanese lanterns in weird figures threw a' fantastic light on the goblins, ghosts and witches who flitted in and out. The young people enjoyed this oc casion immensely in the spacious and well equipped home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
