Church Festival.
This evening the festival for the benefit
of St. Johns Lutheran church. opens in
Odd Fellows hall. The place is very hand
somely decorated, much more SO than ever
before. As one enters his eyes are daz-
zled by the beautiful sight he behOlds.
On the right hand side as you enter, the
first place you come to is the ice cream
parlor. Then the church table, the Turk
ish cafe and the pOstoffice arc the next
places of interest. In the middle and at
the upper end Of the room is the Fountain
of the Tropics and on each side of this
beautiful piece of workmanship is the
flower table to the right and cake table No.
to the left of it. Then going down the
left side Of the hall We find in rotation the
table, the fruit table and
cake table No. 2, and beside this latter
table we can see the kitchen, very at
tractive and handy looking place. The CELL
ing and the sides of the hail arc tastefully
adorned with flags, evergrecns and pic
lures. We have hardly done justice to
the appearance of the hall, so the best plan
will be to go and see for yourself.
