A Unique and Pleasing Entertain
ment at Christ Church Guild.
Those who attended the Rainbow
festival at Christ Church guild house,
last evening, were satisfied that the
question of How TO pass an evening OF
refined. supreme enjoyment" was com.
pletely solved, for it was pleasing to the
eye in artistic effect, pleasing In the
musical and literary features, and de-
lightful in its social characteristics:
The general appellati0n rainbow
was manifest in the booths themselves,
and their special and general arrange.
ment, as well as in the semi-circle OF
variegated color. Standing in the
ladies' parlor near bank of palms and
lilies, the artistic effect in the main
room can be studied until the face
CLOVIS with pleasure. There are eight
booths arranged in semi-circie, each
with variegated arch, tastefully
decorated, and each of different hue.
The young girls rainbow booth was
constructed on the stage, the arch or
which was illuminated, showing the
prismatic hues. Fancy articles were
offered for sale by the following young
misses, who were dressed in bright-cOl-
ored gowns:
Katharine harrington, Cornelia Saunders,
Nelly Officer, Jenny Wood. Caroline Saun-
ders. Annie Selby, Ruth Wheelock, Lylian
Myles Lylian Moore, Martha Gilfillan, Bes-
sic Shulten, Ada Abigners, Alice Wright,
Maud Lewis, Maud Moore, Blanche ClOugh,
May Bend apd Stella Pierce.
1t is hard to conceive more taste
fully deco rated booth than is the layen-
der flower booth. with its palms, cut
flowers. small-potted plants, vases and
other decorative designs. The ladies
who presided over the booth were at
tired in empire lavendre gowns, and
wore large straw hats trimmed IN
pansies. They were:
Mrs. Louis NJ Gray, Mrs. German, Mrs. ii.
T. Black, Mrs. Fred Wright Mrs: w. u.
Fralick. Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Gilfillan.
AT the booth where CONNECTIONS were
dispensed the prevailing color was a
bright rich red. The young ladies were
attired in gowns of that color. The arch
was very prettily decorated. An inn
mense cardinal lamp shade, tapers, cam
delabra and other decorations made it
an attractive place, to say nothing OF
the pleasant young ladies who offered
for sale the most toOthSOme OF c0niec-
lions of their own make. AT this booth
were:

Ices, popcorn. lemonade and fancy
goods were found at the booth Oh the
yellow stripe of the rainbow. The
ladies there are:
Misses Willis Sloane. Galusha, Andrews,
Napier, Eastman, and Mrs. Hill.
The pink booth was a marvel of at
tractiveness. The arch, with its large
ball of roses, butterflies and other decor
atoms was study. LII the background
was large mirror with a broad border
of graceful pink drapery. The fancy
goods displayed and tapers were of the
same tint. The gowns of the young
ladies were in harmony with the sur
roundings. Here were seen the pleas
ant faces of Misses Lewis, Spauld-
ing, Kellogg, Weide and Hall.
AT the point where the blue tinge pre-
vailed, Japanese goods were displayed.
and tea was stepped in a brass kettle
and served in an artistic manner by
Miss Nelson. Mrs. Byers, Misses Gill
fllan, Moore, Trowbridge and Lamprey,
who wore blue gowns.
1t was matter of wonder why the
beautiful green booth should have
been dedicated to telling fortunes,
selling love cures and love letters.
1t also cost 10 cents to see the wheel of
fortune go round. The ladies here wore
green gowns: They are Misses Dicker-
man, Proctor. ForSythe, Deacon, Deue-
gre and Mrs. Manner. At the ladies'
apron and fancy article booth Mesdames

Harris theater to contribute to the gen.
eral success. Mrs. Russell Freeman was
highly commended also for the part she
took as Florence Marigold, as we'll as in
