Hallowe'en Parties and a Wedding, Oct. 31, 1919

From The Daily Times, Wilson, N.C., Oct. 31, 1919

Miss Marion Andrews celebrated her 17th birthday last evening with a party at her home on Pitt street, Tarboro. The parlor was decorated in Hallowe’en colors of orange and black, crepe paper, witches, cats, etc., being used. The lights were covered with Jack O’ Lanterns, giving the room a ghostly effect. The dining room, where dancing was enjoyed, was also decorated in the colors. Numerous games were enjoyed, after which delicious sandwiches and coco cola were passed around. Later brick cream and cake were served. Miss Andrews received quite a number of beautiful and useful presents and best wishes from a host of friends.

The Girls Friendly Society had a Hallowe’en party Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Henry Johnson. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with Jack O’ Lanterns, witches, etc., everywhere. The girls all came in costume and had quite a lot of fun trying to guess each other. Madame Witch told fortunes and gave each girl a card on which was written a short fortune in rhyme. These were later read aloud to the amusement of every one present. Various ways of telling fortunes were tired and at a late hour delicious ice cream and cake was served.
