SOCIETY.
WITH HALLOWE’EN GAMES
Mr. and Mr*. Gordon Harrison En
tertained Last Evening.
A traditional Hallowe’en party, in
which all the accustomed rites and
ceremonies were duly observed, was
given last evening by Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Harrison at their beautiful new
home on Thirty-sixth street.
The house was appropriately decorat
ed, so that their very entrance the
guests were met with a suggestion of
the mysterious and uncanny. Ghostly
lights flickered through the rooms. The
hall lamps were shaded with red,
those of the drawingroom with yellow
and of the diningroom * -With' green.
Stalks of sugar cane decorated the
walls, and Jack o’ lanterns, cleverly
contrived, were hung about among
them. The only 'resemblance to every
day arrangements was to be found in
the vases of beautiful crysanthemums,
which stood about the rooms.
Most of the ceremonies incident to
the feast took place in the rear rooms
of the house, in the kitchen, the pantry,
and the cellar. A dozen or more clever.
Hallowe’en games were introduced and
created no small amount of fun. There
was bobbing for apples, jumping to
catch them where they were swung
on strings overhead, and spearing cran
berries on long pins. Balls of metal,
each with a name inside, were flung in
to a tub of water, to sink or float and
thus indicate the future married or
unmarried state of those for whom
they were named.
In one game, a sheet was hung In
the party darkened library, and
through a small hole in it each girl
looked in turn, only her eyes being
visible to the men on the other side,
who in this way had to guess who she
was. In another, a box of red and yel
low twine, tangled together, was pas
sed about, each man taking an end of
yellow and each girl an end of red.
They then proceeded to unravel the
tangle, each girl amid much laughter,
finding at the finish, ■ a man on the
end of her string.
What caused perhaps more sport
than anything else was the divination
of fortunes in the cellar. Bach girl,
with a candle in her hand, was led to
the cellar door, and told to enter and
look for the face of her future husband
in the mirror. The men, In the mean
time, had been secretly advised of the
plan and had been led by an outside
entrance into the cellar to await the
arrival of the seeking maidens. At the
opportune moment, each, in turn, stole
up behind a girl and looked over her
shoulder. They had been provided
with false faces of a terrible descrip
tion, and the result was all that could
be desired.
Supper was served late In the even
ing, and even here paper caps with
mottoes were pulled to carry out the
Plea of the entertainment.

fruit at the table. Prutt is hard to
obtain, and it is eaten as a luxury
without cream. It Is much better taken
In this way, and it does not upset the
stomach so much.
English women live on much the
same viands as Irish women. They
eat the cereals, they take the toasts

ARSENIC POISONING.
Government scientists have recently
found that many kinds of dress goods
contain enough arsenic to be danger
ous to health. Out of forty-two sam
ples of furs examined by the bureau
of chemistry eleven were heavily load
ed with arsenic, containing from
twenty to 1,700 times as much of the
poison as is allowed, as a limit of safe
ty, by the laws of Massachusetts. Of
; eleven sanfples of fur rugs and robes
examined, every one exceeded the limit
of safety, which is put at one grain
of arsenic per square yard. None con
tained less than five grains per square
yard, and from this minimum they ran
up to 170 grains. Such rugs. It is de
clared, are extremely dangerous, be
cause the mineral, being present in
such large quantities, is liable to be
mingled with the dust of living rooms
and to be breathed into the lungs. In
fact, arsenic In rugs is worse than in
wall paper, for the reason that there
is more chance of its getting loose in
the atmosphere.
Several hundreds of samples of dry
goods of various kinds were subjected
to analysis and it was found that more
or less arsenic was commonly present
in calicoes, cashmeres, mohairs, flan
nels, flannelets and various other fab
rics. Black, red and green fabrics
seemed to be most heavily loaded with
the poison. Of forty-one samples of
stockings, twelve exceeded the limit
of safety above mentioned, the black
ones being the worst, though two bad
pairs were blue. It Is averred that
arsenic In stockings is much more dan
gerous than in dress materials, inas
much a* they are worn next to the
skin, so that the poison may be read
ily absorbed. Children are more sus
ceptible to poisoning than persons of
mature years.

ALIKE
AT THE THEATER
“The Silver Slipper,” which was one
of the remarkable successes of last
season, the house having been crowd
ed to its capacity at its production,
was presented last night before rather
a small audience. Most of the leading
members of last year's company, who
did so much towards making the per
formance sparkling and clever, were
recognized, although that charming
little actress, Miss Gertrude Milling
ton, was missed from the cast. Her
place was excellently filled by Miss
Beatrice Golden, who sang “The Baby
With the Dimple and the Smile,”
and “When the Girl You Love Loves
You,” two of the prettiest songs in the
piece, w-ith much charm.
The company was larger than that
of last year, and the costuming fresh
and pretty. As before, the dancing
was the most noticeably good feature
of the production. There were two or
three changes in the English dancing
girls who gave the famous champagne
dance, but the work was spirited and
remarkable as ever and the ensemble
dancing all through' the performance
lovely. AU the pretty original "Silver
Slipper” songs were retained, and a
number of new ones added, buC bright
and melodious as they are, its second
season would seem to indicate that
’’The Silver Slipper” will never attain
the success of "Florodora." Its
strongest point Is its comedy, which
that clever comedian, Snltz Edwards,
makes so exceedingly tunny.
A strong cast will present Ibsen’s

will not start a laugh through the en

listeners to the extreme of rapt at

"The Fatal Wedding,” a powerful

heartrending scenes, and appeals

gauntlet \o society women, and her
colleagues who affect ultra styles in
dress by Issuing an edict to her com

Grantly’s own expression, she has come
out “flat-footed against this fashion.”
“I consider women who wear high heels
mentally and physically simply.” “I
believe French heels are unattractive
and harmful. For this reason I have
forbidden my company to wear them on
the stage. I have seen women on
Broadway wearing such high heels that
this manner of walking was absurd.
Some of them had large ankles and
others small, but all were equally ridic
ulous. They walked .proppy, like a
itacehorse with three bad legs. If
high heels continue in fashion, then I
am going out.”
BOTH ALDERMEN LOST
ON THIS FISH DEAL
Alderman William L. Grayson got
what he deserved, according to his
friends, and had no right to teel “sore,”
but he did.
Alderman John Glatlgny felt he had
been trifled with and was not at all
pleased—until he heard what happen
ed to his brother councilman.
Both aldermen are from the South
Side, and It was a South Side crowd
that played the cruel Joke. Mr. Glat
igny had an attractive bunch of fish
he was bringing to the city from Isle
of Hope and had planned to have them
for breakfast yesterday morning.
It chanced that on the same car Col.
Grayson and some of the South Side
crowd were passengers. It was really
one party after the car left Isle of
Hope. Col. Grayson saw the fish un
der Mr. Glatlgny's seat and decided he
would like to take them home as an
evidence of good faith. He “tipped
oft" two members of the party and
agreed to purchase supper when the
city was reached.
In addition Col. Grayson was to pull
the trolley off so the car would be in
darkness, when the fish were abstract,
ed. He performed his part of the con
tract faithfully. When Alderman
Glatlgny got off at the South Side sta
tion he was not In a very amiable mood,
although he had no direct evidence to
furnish at police headquarters, even If
he had desired to go so far with his
constituents.
In a down town restaurant, Col,
Grayson carefully put his flsh away and
ordered supper for the “bunch," that
had assisted him. In the course of
time the hot plates were tabled. Among
the first dishes was the Gl&tlgny-Gray
son flsh. fried In excellent style. The
member* of the party had. on the sly.
decided to dispose of the flsh them
selves, fearing there might be bsd blood
between the South Side aldermen If
Col. Grayson took his prize catch home.
MOTION WAS OVERRULED.
