A group of Miss Floiine Mary Jack-
!• son's little friends enjoyed a Hal-
lowe’en evening with Miss Florine
Mary and Mrs. Jackson Friday night.
Hallowe'en colors and emblems were
used effectively to give the Hal-
lowe'en atmosphere to living and din-i
ing rooms, and stairways.
On entering, the guests * received a
number for which each was asked to
find a corresponding number. They
found it in “the forest," a room made
to resemble a forest by the clever ar-
rangement of inflated balloons of or-
ange and black attached by cords to
the floor green from the glow of
j colored floor lamps. Balloon cords i
were made into green stems and
leaves, among w'hieh were to be found
