The Halloween Party.
Last Friday evening a week ago
was all Halloween— recorded as
the greatest All Saints night of
this ceutury— the night of all
nights for youths and maidens to
study the stars, consult all vege
tation; in various unknown ways
lend all manner of assistance to
! the fates in nnravelling the dim
mysterious future-lying in wait
for each and all. Weird shapes
of witches with their brooms fly
ing through the air, black cats
running around every corner,
spirits walking and goblins stalk
ing everywhere, these were not
the only signs to be seen in the
darkness on this Halloween night.
Many happy eyes could be seen
shining and much merry laugh
ter heard as Boyd Angus’ wagon
with its jolly crowd and the long
black line of buggies following,
rolled by enroute to his beauti
ful country home.
Once within thespacious, cheer
ful rooms, each of the twenty two
guests were made to feel entire
ly at ease. The hours fairly flew
by like “swift winged messen
gers’’ and after listening to sweet
strains of music peculiarly adapt
ed to the occasion and enjoying
much conversation, the guests
were conducted to the dining
room, where most delicious re
freshments were served. At a
late hour, the guests reluctantly
took leave of the kind host and
hostess, everyone agreeing that
they had spent an evening of un
alloyed joy.
