BIRTHDAY FETE.
n 9ucceoaful Social Event at
the Congregational
Church.

The Birthday Fete given by the
Ladies' Working club OF the Congre.
gational ON Tuesday evening was
the most successful church entertain
ment given in this city for some
time. The musical and literary pro-
gram was the best and most enjoy
able we have heard rendered this
season. 1t was short and every
number was we'll selected. The pro-
gram opened with sleep, Sweet
Lady" by Il male quartette com
posed of Messrs. Moore, Staples.
Lyon and Brown. This was fol-
lowed bv a bass solo by Mr.. H. N.
Harding, who rendered it in pleas
ing manner; Miss Sara Jansen then
recited "nOw Rubie Played" and the
selection and her manner of reciting
it wax so pleasing that she met with
hearty encore. She responded
with humorous selection "A
Lecture on Woman by One Of Our
Sex" Mrs. Staples and Mr.. f. $.
Brown sang Rock of Ages in a
manner which made the old hymn
seem new. Miss Ethel Lyons re-
cited "Adieu, My Old Shoe" and in
on encore recited "HUw Mammals
Letter Went to God" PROV. j. NJ.
Van Camp rendered cornet solo
which was followed by reading "f
"Birthday Letters" by Mrs. Staples.
There were several OF them sent by
friends at distance and one which
all recognized as u poem by the pas
tor although nNt signed. A solo by
Miss Bertha Rhodes was heartily ap-
plauded and Miss Rhodes sang an
other as pleasing as the first one.
Mrs. G.. H. Brown recite'l "'rhe
Tardy Scholars Excuse" and as an
encore recited "Aunt Tabitha." The
program closed with Little Ala
bama Coon" by Mrs. Staples, Miss
Hill and Messrs. Staples and Brown
The program was excellent all the
way through and the audience was
well pleased. After the program re-
freshments were served to about 200
people in the church par]ors.
The birthday feature was the man.
ner in which the people contributed,
all giving u penny for every
year of their age. This was novel
idea and resulted in the society rails
ing about $75.
