MASTER FREDERICK PECKHAM GAVE HALLOWE’EN PARTY Was Host to a Friends at His Thames Street. The home of Mr. and Mrs. John O. Peckham of West Thames street was a merry one Monday evening when their son, Mastqr Frederick Peckham entertained his young friends at a Hallowe’en party, The little people came in masque- rade and many quaint and picturesque costumes were worn. There were gho: clowns, witches and many pretty vellow and black, Charlie Chaplin was there too. In every day life he is known as Loraine Macpherson, but Monday evening he made an admira- ble Charlie Chaplin. The hours from 7 to 9 o'clock were filled with all kind$ of fun. Cap- tained by their host, Freddie Peckham, the guests, carrying pumpkin moon- shines, marched by twos up and down the street, where they attracted much attention and then through the house. The games opened with a peanut hunt, Gordon Grant winning first and Katherine Battersby second prize for finding the most and least humber of peanuts, receiving a fancy Hallowe'en hat and a box of candy. Many other Hallowe’en games were plaved. The bay window in the front parlor was arranged as an ideal fortune tell- er's camp. It was here that the voung people flocked, while two witches cast a magic spell and took from their iron caldron—a fortune of good luck—for each one. The witches were cleverly taken by Score of Young Home on West Miss ra Peckham. Partners for the march were found by motto candles. After the games all marched to the dining room where refreshments were served. The room was prettily decorated with vellow and black crepe paper, festooned from the center to the cor- ners of the room. Yellow was the table color which, when lighted with Hallowe'en lanterns, made a most at- tractive picture. Lollypops, dressed s witches, made attractive favors. ookies, wafers, cake, ice cream and cocoa were served by Mrs. Peckham, assisted by Miss Rebecca Hollowell, and Mrs. Leon Wolfe. In entertaining Mrs. Peckham was isted by Miss Helen Woodworth nd Miss Laura Peckham. Master Peckham received a number of pretty gif!

WITCHES AND SPOOKS AT BROADWAY SOCIAL Weird Prowlers Almost Caused Panic Among the Young People. Witches and spooks were abroad on Monday night and the young people who attended the social at Broadway church will verify the statement if you should ask them. As darkness stole over Norwich last evening scores of Hallowe'en prowlers came flying through the skies. There were tall spooks, short spooks, thin spooks and fat spooks. A score of weird prowl- ers swooped down on the social in the parlors of Broadway church and very nearly started a panic, especially among the youngest of the young peo- ple present. Strange to say they were a jolly lot of spooks and witches, not at all as their appearances indicated and in a very short time everyonc be- came accustomed to their presence when it was assured that they had paid but a friendly visit. With the ghosts sitting in a circle Mrs. E. S.. Worcester read a very in- teresting shost story. Other features of the evening's enfertainment were Hallowe'en games and music by Har- der’s orchestra. Squash ple, doughnuts, pop corn balls, devil raisins and coffee were served by the committee in charge of the evening. The decorations were very appropriate; corn stalks and pumpkin moonshines were everywhere and the lights shed a soft glow through their coverings of colored crepe pa- per. The corn stalks were donated by William Spicer. The silhouette games included going to Boston, blow- ing out the candle, etc, and the young people also bobbed for apples. Miss Lena Lautenbach, president of the Sodalitas, led the ghosts' march. At one end of the room was a prettily decorated candy table which had a gentrous patronage and from which ten dollars was realized. The committees in charge of the ar- rangements for the entertainment fol- ow: Entertainment committee — Misses Marguerite Wulf, _Elizabeth Wilson, Annie Calkins and Florine Scofleld.

The fifth international egg laying contest at Storrs has just closed. White Wyandottes won first and sec- ond places for the year with Oregons third, Barred Rocks fourth, and Leg- horns fifgh. The one thousand birds in the contest represented nineteen varieties and haled from fifteen dif- ferent states and three _countries. They laid a grand total of 162,012 eggs that weighed approximately ten tons and which sold throughout the vear at an averaze price of $450 a ton. All are of course aware that at the present retail price eggs are worth nearly 31000 a ton. The average an- nual yield for each of these thousand hens was 162 eggs as compared with 152 sgs per hen in the contest last vear and 144 eggs per hen in the competition two years ago. Obed G. Knight's pen of White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R. I, not only won first place but their pen record of 2265 eggs is a new high mark for all American laying contests that require ten bisds for entry. As can #o scen from the summary below an English pen of White Wyandottes came in for second place. An Oregon pen was third New York pen of Barred Rocks fourth and a Connectj- cut pen fifth. It may be added that this Connecticut pen of White Leg- horns owned by Francis P. Lincoln of Mt. Carmel was the best of all the Leghorns and they also enjoy the dis- tinction of having the highest score of any of the thirty-two pens entered from Connecticut. ~ The subjoined ta- ble shows the number of birds in each breed, their average annual individual egg yield and the average for all va- rities engaged in the contest.

J, that a close friend has been injured, and full of anxiety he visited the afilicted man, who was suffering from a sprained ankle. “It was so bad that the leg had turned black” said Mr. Voehl in re- lating the story. “I told him I would have him out in a week and he laughed at me. But I took him a bot- tle of Sloan's Liniment, that night he put some on and noticed the ankle felt better. I told him to use it every day, and in three days his ankle was practically well. In four days he was working. He gladly admits that Sloan’s Liniment “put him on his feet.” Sloan’s Liniment can be obtained at all drug stores, 25c., 50c. and $1.00.
