Ticket Article Text: Hallowe'en Party. One of the most attractive and unique affairs of the season was a Hallowe'en party given by Mrs. Ollie Neimeyer and Mrs. Elmer Roberts at the Neimeyer's studio Tuesday evening. It was given for the members of the Embroidery club and their husbands. The studio was lighted with pale yellow lights tastefully decorated with pumpkin faces, corn, cabbage, chryanthemums and autumn leaves, a very pretty decoration. In the center of the room was a large shock of corn around which was gathered all the fruits and vegetables of the season. This was placed for a contest at which each guest received a prize. At 9:30 ghost stories were told by the guests, some being quite hair raising. Mrs. Scott Gast received the prize having told the best. Several other contests were held, prizes being received by mr. Curtiss, Mrs. Herr and Mrs. Beavers. Games were then indulged in for an hour. During the evening punch was served by Mrs. Roberts, and at 11:30 an elaborate three course supper was served in the room below the studio. In the center of the table was a candelabra holding eight large candles and at each place were apples with small candles inserted in them, and all lighted giving the table a weird and ghostly appearance. The tables were elegantly decorated with smilax, fern leaves, and chrysthemums. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. Neil Gast, Mr. and Mrs. Curtiss, Mr. and Mrs. Will Petty, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Gast, Mr. and Mrs. Beavers, Mr. and Mrs. Herr, Mr. and Mrs. E. E.
