CHARITY.
The Ladies' Supper Last Night,

Fields thealcr presented u very gay
aud animated scene laSt night upon
the occasion Of the grand supper given
by tho ladies oflhc Methodist Episcopal
church, for charitable purposes,
The hill WAS very taslclully decorate
cd with cvergreens and tablcsnrranged
on either side Of the room, aud down
the center A number Of married H.
dies, including Mrs. Adams, Mia. w.
j. Clark, Mrs. Ross, Mrs, Swink, Mrs'
Hamilton, Mrs, Young aud others, su-
pcrvised everything, assisted 10y II
bpvy ol some OF our most admired
young ladies, who lifted about the
room IN cDquelish little white aprons,
and 80 bewillrrcd the modest bache.

with difficulty the hungry souls could
calm themselves sulllcicnllylo pnrtake
of the great variety Of dcllcncleS and
danlies prepared with consummate
skill ny the experienced housewives
who presided al the contamination Of
these culinary triumphs
Among the fair ilebes who minis
tered with ravishing grace and busy
cheerililness were Miss Belle Swlnk,
Miss Fanny Montague, Miss Betty
Hearne, Miss Fanny Powell, Miss
Douglas lIwcll, Miss Craig, Miss Ella
Randall, Miss Adele Davenport, Miss
Mary Blair, Miss Lizzie Hersey, Miss
Lou Mention and Miss Georgia Hen
bricks. IL Is needless to add that with
such attendance nothing was left to be
desired.
The table where the noble oyster dis
ported himself with frolicsome glee
was beautifully arranged with an air
of home comfort and exquisite neat
ness that hattered even those who We're
not hungry to sit down to 50 inviting
II board. This table was presided over
by Miss Montague, II radiant, piquant
little beauty from Ken lucky, the land
of lovely women, whose sunny, fresh
face would dispel the gloom
which hangs about the bridge of
Sighs.n Miss Belle Swink, looking
sweeter and prettier than ever, who is
always foremost in every good work,
assisted the fair Kentuckian, the two
forming a lovely contrast.
We regret extremely to say that
pious man, the religious editor of the
HERALD, hung around this oyster
evidently fascinated, and
his entire months wages went in fried
oysters, broiled oysters, slowed oysters,
oyster soup, picked oysters and raw
oysters. Not having the moral cour-
age to resist eating everything offered
10 him, he fell early in the action after
of his sixth dozen. He was
borne from the room by six candidates.
There was not II dry eye in the house.
Such heroic charity and gallantry was
never before witnessed.
To day, from twelve to three, the la
dies will furnish meals for those who
may wish them, ut fifty cents each,
and tonight the regular supper, for
which tickets are sold, will he given.
The supper was Il great pecuniary,
social, culinary and charitable success,
and reflects the highest credit on the
domestic accomplishments of the la
dies who conducted it.
