In addition to these were the candy

Mamie Mead and Miss Jessie Cox. also an
ice cream and cake booth in charge OF Mrs.
Weitzell.
Each booth contains articles for sale that
would be suggested by the motto of the
booth. The motto is prominently dis
played in the entrance, serving as sign to
attract attention from distance. The
magnificent collection of beautiful articles
commands attention as soon as one is close
enough to inspect the bankrupt sale
prices.
The reception booth is in the center of
the hall, is very prettily arranged, and In
this bower of beauty tea is served In cups
and saucers of rare design. 1t also serves
to screen the kitchen department from
public view, which is by no means an I'M
inviting place. Adjoining the reception
booth is the flower display, which is very
handsome and generally admired. An
elaborate collection of rare exotics many
of which are in bloom and the most beau
tiful indigenous plants make this booth an
object of much interest.
The stage performance was particularly
pleasing and ELECTED much applause.

were Mr. and Mrs. Jewett Mr.. and Mrs.
Naylor, Mr.. and Mrs. Case, the Misses
