The Methodist Sociable next Monday
evening, promises 10 be a very social affair.
The hostess, Mrs j D. Good, will have
the new hall fitted for the occasion and
the ladies are preparing tableaux, music,

be got for reasonable sum, and with
few years care, would be both attractive
and ornamental. Now what do our city
dads think of the suggestion.
