The Fair Largely Attended.
The Fair given 10y the Ladies' Memo
rial Association last night at Falk's
buildings, on the corner of Lemon and
First streets. was one of the most success
full entertainments of the kind ever given
in Palatka, and the public showed its
appreciation of the efforts the ladies are
making to beautify and keep in repair
our beautiful CITY 81 the Dead" West
View Cemetery, by turning out in large
numbers and literally patronizing the
various booths at the Fair.
The first booth noticed on entering the
hall Is the Memorial Table" presided
over by Mesdames y. COnant, =. j. Ken
nerly, w. II. Rosenberg and Miss Susie
Moragne. The table aud booth We're
most artistically arranged with decora-
tions and the large number of fancy ar
tIcles contributed, and all who visited
the fair fingered 70 admire the many
beautiful articles displayed.
The lovely crazy quilt, which is To he
rallied. attracted universal attention,
and the different squares showed how
tasty our lady friends are. Some of the
squares were strikingly beautiful.
Just opposite is located the Rattle
Table" presided over by Misses Emily
Campbell and Maggie Moragne. They
have number of very choice articles to
be ratified, including tine music box.
and one Of the largest and prettiest dolls
ever seen i'm Palatka, besides a number
of other useful ana ornamental articles.
Next came the Episcopal Table,
fairly loaded with choice, useful and or
namental articles. which we forbear at
tempting To describe. This table was pre-

Mrs 4. VI. Haughton and Miss Louise
Moragne.
The Flower and Fruit Table" pre-
Misses Hattie D'Autrey. Meta Larnard,
Emmie Boyd. Florence Smith and Miss
Schermerhorn. was thing OF beauty if
not a 10y forever. These MASSES of flow
ers and piles of fruit were most hastily
arranged, and attracted universal atten-
tention.
It was "A little COO! for ice cream. Int
that detracted nothing from the excel
lence of the cream. This table was pre-
sided over 10y Mrs f. G. COchrane and
Miss Canova.
One of the most popular places in the
room was the Cake Table presided
over 10y Mrs. +. l.. I.ilienthsl, Mrs. VI.
Loeb and Miss Nellie Ran dali. Cakes
were piled on cakes, and there were
cakes OF every size and kind, from the
modest brt delicious old-fashioned pound
cake to the finest fancy iced cakes, and
the table contain ed enough sweetness to
more than satisfy the large crowd pres
ent.
The Candy and Confectionery Table,
presided over by Mrs. w. L. Copper and
Mrs. w. j. Vinegar. was very nicely ar
ranged indeed, and proved To be ia
vorite resort for the little ones, a well
"a the older people. who had aIprecia
tive tastes for good things.
Not the least attractive feature of the
eutertainm, mt was the supper room,
which was presided over by Mrs. Ran
som. Mrs. Powers and Mrs. Falk. as
sisted by fifteen most charming young
lady walters. Everything desired was
served in the best manner. and no one
could have possibly left the building
hungry.

department. and the fair last night re-
suited, no doubt. To the entire satisfac-
ton of the ladies OF the Association.

all the articles for rattle. and there are
many desirable ones, will be disposed
