It has been asked OF me how I, prac-
tically, organize, conduct and wind up
a church fair al Plymouth.
The foundation for every good united
work, whether for church or charity,
should be harmony in ideas and self
ObliteratiOn. We, Of Plymouth Church,
were like one family, banded together
in our love for a common object, each
seeking, not her or his own a~ggrandiZe-
meat, but the good Of the church.
In our sewing society, our fairs were
first considered. AS with all organized
bodies, brought together for a distinct
purpose, president, vice-president, sec
rotary and treasurer, were chosen.
They in turn chose their assistants.
Any schemes or suggestions, would be
given 20 the president, whOin turn would
act upon them as the society or officers
thought best

A studio Trick.

In a corner OF an artists studio in
this city is an ingenious arrangement
of screens, upon one OF which, over an
aperture about the size OF q face, is an
inscription: "Likenesses taken instan-
ta~neOusly." The innocent visitor peeks
through the hole, and Is astonished TO
behold M exact likeness Of himself as q
.hump-backed jailer, In q scarlet coat,
opening a prison door. The secret Of
this effect is simple. Tue jailer is q
life-painting strongly rendered. The
place for the face is cut out and a mir
ror inserted, rejecting the features Of
the spectator. The conception Of this
amusing fantasy is not entirely origi-
nal. It was imported from the studio
Of Wiertz, the Belgian artist.
