Characteristic and suggestive are the costumes that have been selected by some for this night of 3 mgbu tar weird masquerade, and a ] pleasant evening's sport is assured. , Other featuree,will be fancy 4 ska ting by expert perform ers.of difficult revolutions, while .special music will be f rendered in a masterful manuer by tbe orchestra. Appropriate souvenirs will be presented to all in attendance. To fully carry out the hallucination i in accosd with this season, the rink will be decorated in an artistic and fantastic manner, portraying a bizarre - effect that will be gratifying to the participants and spectators. » Conspicuous among the ornamental 1 display will be the rustic setting produced by tbe all important jack-o- , lantern, pumpkin, ana novel arrangef ment of cornstalks and other essentials. An agreeable surprise.ia.in store tor all, so. don't .fail to attend the "Phantom Party." .

Mr. Goff went west several years ago, and at Muskegon, Michigan, entered the employ of a firm largely engaged in the manufacture of e | school and office furniture, rapidly y ] working his way up to s partnership in the firm. It is the common story of ' success won by honest endeavor, - earnest application and faithfulness 0 to duty. t Alsuitable companion to share with e him in the duties and responsibilities . of life was found in tfie person of Miss s Mabel Harriet Boyd, daughter of Mr. 1 and Mrs. Alexander Boyd, prominent i ip social circles of Muskegon, posaessr ing a highly cultivated mind an i amiability of disposition. Their mar- . riage was solemnized September 7, • 1909, the happy event taking place at 3 the home of the bride's parents. 3 Mr. Goff has four sisters residing in 3 this city, Mrs. A. S.
