One of the most enjoyable and largely attended entertainments of this season was the Haloween Masquerade Party given by Miss Sue Knowles, at her home on Shotwell street on last Friday evening. The hostess displayed her knowledge of Hallowen through the decorations, games and prophecies. The masked guests, upon arrival were greeted at the door by a ghost with the “icy hand”; upon entering the reception rooms, another ghost relieved each guest of wraps and hats, leading them to the punch bowl, where Misses Lallie Baird and Flora Holder charmingly presided. Because of the oddness in decorations, the guests paused to closely observe them for the darkened, wierd-like rooms, with the appearance of a forest, with pine tree decorations in various places, Jack-o-lanterns lighted in the large open fire places and other conspicious places; and our National color scheme so effectively adorning the rooms, filled each guest with joyful anticipation: “I wonder what will follow.” The Gypsy’s fortune telling tent was by no means slighted; as the masked guests discovered this tent in the corner, interest did not wane, for another was standing ready to enter to have his or her future prophesied, seemingly rather surprised that this fortune teller could be so accurate in her Predictions.Ghost stories were told : then a contest pinning a tail on a black cat, was begun amid the screams of laughter, as many contestants missed the mark, so far, making it ludricously funny. Miss Cecil Harrell won the prize. Delicious refreshments were served by Misses Agnes Christian, Pearl Floyd, Kathleen Gaines, and Nell Maxwell. The guests dispersed going to their respective homes with a good time indelibly impressed on each mind. The following is a list of guests present and the characters each represented, while the last five mentioned were masked, they represented ordinary citizens...Cecil Harrell, Japanese girl...Jeff Holder Ross and Loyd Rich, the ghosts with the icy hands were Louise Knowles and Paul Hardage.” |
