ACoNaREG ATIONAL Church festival was
recently given in Sterling, ILL.,, at which some
men did not only the honors, but the work
of the occasion. The coffee, cakes, pies and
oysters were all prepared by masculine skill
and served with manly grace. Not wo-
nan was allowed within ten feet of the
kitchen. The ladies simply sat down at the
table and called for what they desired, and
were waited upon by the gentlemen.
