pies Church Fair.
The ''Fantasma of Singing Flowers"
given under the auspices Of the ladies
of the Peoples church at Market hall
last evening, was one of the prettiest
and most unique entertainments that
has been given in this city. The hall
was we'll filed, and in the audience was
a fair sprinklng of st. Paul's prominent
church and society people. AS the.
curtain rolled up, a floral scroll was
presented to view. with some very
pretty faces peering through the flow
ers they were to represent. Miss
Mabon, Sweet-looking blonde with
the brightest of blue eyes, made a very
beautiful apple blossom. Mrs. D. A.
Curtis was a daisy; Miss. Aggie Gay
sh0ne forth as sunflower; Mrs.
Nettie Fuller ,personated the lily;
Mrs. G. B. Yale was a modest
little buttereup, Miss Nettie Seeley
was the .daffodil and Miss Jennie Brown
was only pansy blossom. +. II. Gar
land was the moon who looked down
admiringly upon the garden beauties,
and James Swift was the happy gar
dener. After chorus by all the dow-
ers. each blossom sang song setting
songs, Only a PanSy Blossom and
"Dear Little Pansy" were beautifully
rendered, and Consider the Lilies and
'''fIIs the Last Rose of Summer were
vociferously encored. The good night
song sung by all the flowers as they
nodded their heads and fell asleep
was all especially pretty feature.
After the entertainment the attention
of those present was called to the fair
booths. Considering the number OF
handsome danes and maidens who pre-
side over the different booths, the affair
might easily be taken for beauty show.
The Turkish booth is novel and con-
spicuous. The fancy articles are of a
most elaborate character, and Turkish
coffee, a delicious beverage, is served
by Miss Frances Western, the hand
some sultana of the booth.
Miss Western is assisted by another
pretty woman. Mrs. Charles Johnston.
The paper booth is presided over by
Mrs. Cratzenberg, whose pretty helpers
are Misses Anna Ruth and Louise Dick

be found from paper handkerchief to

fancy booth, assisted by Mesdames
Murray, Fairchild, NicoIs, and Misses
Lott and Banker.

and Curnick serve the hungry with de-
licious cream and cake, While the dis
pensers of candies and popcorn are

child. Grace Hawkins and Theabold.

and wonder. Dolls of all races
and nationalities are Oh exhibit

there is a colored bridal party on a
stand plighting their vows before col
ored minister. Little Miss Elsie Nichols
