Among the pretty and novel features will be an
'Old Homestead" booth, which will be occupied
by number of pretty girls attired in quaint
Priscilla costumes, who will dispense the SUBJ
stantial goodies" of New England kitchen,
tell fortune with tea leaves, &c. An attractive
feature Of this booth will be the singing of the
pretty lullaby given in the play, also the quar-
tette songs, which will be rendered by good
local talent. The ''Old Homestead will be
under the direction of Mrs. Harrison Dingman,
assisted by Miss Louise Vale, Miss Gait, Miss
Richards and Miss Wilson.
The Dutch booth, made suggestive Of Hol-
land by means Of . tower and windmill, and
the French booth, which will doubtless be very
"Frenchy' in its way, will be rendered addi-
tionally attractive by reason Of the national
costumes Of the respective countries to be worn
by the ladies in charge. The Jack Horner
Pie" in which by means Of the magic nickel
any one may "put in his thumb and pull out q
plum, will prove novel and most welcome
substitute for the hackneyed grab bag" Of the
traditional fair.

ular "Quodlibit Lunches" will be served by tho
ladies from IL to at the hall when q good
opportunity will be afforded to view the taste
full and artistic arrangement Of the various
