HALLOWE’EN INGLESIDE The annual Ingleside to celebrate Hallowe’en was held by the Grey Caledonian Society last evening when the children of members were suitably entertained and the usual Hallowe’en observances were featured. A large number of the children appeared in fancy dress, some striking out on original lines,’ whilst others kept to those more time honoured, the galaxy of colour and variety of dress creating a pleasing effect. The programme for* the evening was carried out by Messrs L. Anderson and A. Lane who kept the ball rolling to the end of the evening.
