EVENING NOVEMBER 4 1904 The Awl Os Halloween One of the happiest social functions that has occurred in McCook was the Halloween party given by the members of tbe Awl Os club on Monday night On this occasion the members of this organization which is so justly celebrat ed for the high standard of its entertain ments excelled all former efforts The Lawson home which was secured for the festivities was beautifully and appropriately decorated The floors were strewn with rugs and the walls were hung with flags and bunting while autumn leaves corn pump kins and apples were effectively em ployed for purposes of embellishment One room contained the trappings we are accustomed to associate with gath erings of those supernatural beings who walk the earth at this season of the year casket skull clanking chain and all Another room was artistically arranged as a gypsy camp A tent filled ono cor ner A camp fire blazed before it A fortune teller spread her cards upon a fallen tree trunk and foretold the futures of all who dared to ask The entire house was habited by ghosts and witches who after the manner of their kind said no word but conversed by signs and groans More than seventy guests and mem bers partook of the supper which was served at midnight under the auspices of the ladies of the Episcopal Guild The tables were adorned with ferns candles and ribbons while is a concession to the eight a huge made from a pumpkin occupied the center of each The viands were seasonable and the service faultless The hostesses presided with even more of grace and charm than usually char acterizes their entertainments No de tail that would have added to the even ings enjoyment was omitted The af fair will long renirtin a pleasant memory to all who participated CITY CHURCH
