Amid shouts and shrieks, oi varying degrees, the girls of the Main and SuiKiit buildings were cntertained at supper on Saturday. October 29, by the girls of the small
dormatories. The rooms of the cottages were ingeniously decorated by corn stalks jack-o'-lanterns. autumn leaves, pumpkins, and other obejets suggestive of Hallowe'en. Wierd sounds issued from some dormatories while tli w and then one would catch a glimpse of fluttering ghosts and other Strange creatures. A ghostly effect was achieved by means of •
meager use of lights. A variety of entertainment was offered by the hostesses of the cottages. "Spooky" stunts, stories, dancing contests, "apple - bobbing" and fortune telling were presented for the amusement of the guests. Spontaneous bursts of laughter echoed through the rooms as the guests joined in the stunts and games of (be evening. In the midst of this hilarity 8 delightful supper waa served—one, at the sight of which any ghost or witch would have danced with glee. The supper was served by the k*. W. C.

time for everything, but the important part of organizations— the time spent on each phase of work or play, is left with the student. This is where we make our mistakes. Even the most conscientious student is prone to skip over the important things and over emphasize the supercilious, light things of our daily lives. What will these things which assume such grave importance today amount to ten years from now? What will they amount 10 tomorrow'.' When we go out to teach, which will count the most for us—our social standing for two or even four years in college, or our academic rating for that same period of time? Are we serious enough to accept the responsibilities as they come, or must we be excused forever with the expression "We must remember that tiny ,uv young"? On the other hand, arc we missing the best pan of college life by allowing our attitude to become too serious? Are we I I lowing grades, honors, positions, to mean too much? Do we constantly worry ourselves and others with tomorrow's lesson or next week's test? In this mechanical age. if someone could only invent a time budgeting machine for College students which would also deal with state of mind, wouldn't our college life be ideal? Yea, first things must coiiie first, but how long do they take? How much time tan we dc\ole to lighter things? The most serious one would give too serious an answer to the problem. One more frivolous would be too frivolous with her answer. It seems, then that it must be left with the individual. Granting that,—the problem remains before us without solution.

TIT FOR TAT Once upon a time there waT" an old wit.h who was left out of the Hallowe'en party. And she deruled to have one of her own, and invite all the nice, kind, Brownies. "I stall have soup for refreshments," she said, so she gathered all the left over pumpkins and corn to make the soup. When the pumpkins and corn found out they were to be put in the soup they asked the old witch if they could entertain her with their dance of death. She consented and they whirled away into a mad frenzy of rythmn. When they had finished their dance, in rushed the Brownies, each one catching up a pumpkin or an ear of corn, and with a great deal of celerity pitched them Into the soup. The old witch began t«> chant as she stirred the soup,
ple and they guessed that she might try this, so as they were doing a merry dance around the pot and the old witch was stirring, watching her chance to catch a Brownie, they formed a ring around her, and drawing closer and closer they with one accord rushed in and pitched the greedy old witch in the soup. Then they ran away to sup off of cider and ginger bread and feast with the fairies.

610 Main St.
AT THE EACO Wed.—The theatre is rented this night to Beam and Plummer, who will present a picture entitled "The Reason of Why". This production is said to deal with what every mother, father, son and daughter should know. I do not know what admission prices will be charged. 4 o'clock Mat. will be for women only. Night show will be for men only. Thurs., Fri., and Sat.—We will present that great superspecial production "WHAT PRICE GLORY". It will take the pen of a master to he able to describe faithfully the effect "What Price Glory" has upon one's emotions. There are situations in which the spectator is so thrilled so electrified, that he feels as if he ought to get up and run; where, no one not even himself knows—perhaps to fight. These are great moments that cannot be easily forgotten. Lolores Del Rio and Victor McLaglen are the featured players and there are thousands in the supporting cast. It is the same type of picture as "The Big Parade" and milloins who have seen both say "What Price Glory" is better. See it and when you do you too will say that it is bigger and better than "The Big Parade" There will be a 4 o'clock matinee on this picture each day. Pathe News is added feature. Mon. Maria Corda, piquant foreign beauty in "Madam Wants No Children" A sophisticated comedy drama of a childless wife and her childloving husband and a mother-in-law who didn't want to be a grandmother An up-to-the-minute comedy of domestic difficulties.

C. girls admission price—.'55c to "What Price Glory; 25c to other shows, if tickets are purchased at the college.
