The Kings Daughters of the Congrega-
tional church held fair at the home of
Mrs. Crowell on West Lawrence street on
Friday evening. To Miss Aldrich is all
praise due for having so successfully taught
the young ladies of the society in the art of
needle work that their display would have
done credit to much older and more expe-
rienced workers. This society was organ
lied by Miss Aldrich, assisted by Mrs. Davy,
about year ago, and has membership of
ten, whose names are as follows: Gertrude
Harrison, Winnie Mckay. Mary Stedman.
Mary Kinda. Pauline Buck. Mira Mosher
Fannie Black, Mary Gardner, Maud Mosh-
or. Mary Jarvis, and Lena Fleur. The OBJ

articles at 80 low figure. Deserving of
SPECIAL mention were the handsome bureau |
scarfs of linen. embroidered in unique de- |
signs, with the daintiest of cushions to |
match, also the table covers, doilies, and |
handkerchief cases. There were many USE

must not forget Mable Wilson and Blanche
Kinda, the two little flower girls, who
tempted every one to drop nickel in their
hands and receive in return a tiny boquet.
