Editor Times: In your editorial on the

the inquiry, If in reality there is such a
thing as patriotism outside a, dictionary.
Miss Key had grandfather, but there

port, in all probability was not equaled

WASHINGTON.-The Spokane Fair

The UNIvERsALIsT has received quite
an extended description of the fair re-
Gently held in Spokane-the first at
tempted by the Universalist ladies of
that place. We find ourselves unable to
use the full description of the affair fur
nished by our correspondent but con-
dense the following, which embraces all
the essential facts. The fair opened on
Thursday evening, Dec. ID, and contin-
ued the rest Of the week. There was
good attendance the first evening, and
on the second the patronage surpassed
all expectation. so that the friends might
very appropriately have put up the sign
for standing room only. A program Of
music was rendered. The ladies served
lunch each day, besides ice cream and
cake in the evening. Saturday evening
a Doll Matinee was given. Any little
girl was permitted to bring a doll dressed
in the latest fashion. Three prizes were
given for the most elegantly attired
dolls; there was quite number of con-
testants After all the expenses were
paid, the profit was found to be $3.50.
Our correspondent says, and we must
certainly make room for his encouraging
words: 1.-THE ladies of the parish de-
serve a great deal of credit for their
earnest and arduous labors during the
past several months and the male por-
tioL of the church are willing to accord
them all the honors. While distributing
honors the society would not forget the
generous hearted Universalists of far
away parishes who so literally contrib
uted to the success of the fair by send
ing books and numerous articles of fancy
needlework, and we DESIRE through these
columns. to heartily thank the donors
for their handsome gifts. We have the
inclination to give the names of all these
kindly disposed people but we would
usurp too much of your valuable space,
and SO will have to forego that pleasure.

its young people.
On Monday evening the Sunday
school held their Christmas festival The
stage was arranged as deep and spa

at the entrance. The brilliantly deco

guests with recitations and songs, after
