West Side Church Fair to Be
Unusually Attractive -The
Stall Keepers.

The West Side Methodist Episcopal
Church is resolved to out-do all it's
former successes. and have a lair this
year which will be the talk of the town.
This is the last year of DIR. Atkingon's
pastorate. and the further incentive Of
giving him a SEND off. which viii make
him remembered in Jersey City, is added
to their already laudable desires. The
fair will be held tomorrow and Thurs
day nights of this week in the church
parlors. The parlors are more convenient
than those of most churches. being on
a level with the ground, and are large
and airy. There is a large Sunday school
room with four smaller rooms opening
from it. and in these will be held the
fair.

proved styles for everything. from a
business letter to a billet-doux. If you
buy a large amount of stationery per-
APPS they will tell you scent to

The Boys Brigade, always sensible,
will hold court in a grocery store. This
department will probably have many
customers. if only for the reason that.
not since the war. have people had an
opportunity to buy their groceries from
a clerk in regimentals. The store will be
in charge of Capt. Mureh, and Messrs.
Stone, Taylor, Crawford and Lehman.
In the centre of the room will be that
most attractive of booths, the candy

it is every ready to assert its own sweet

corners they make that the Kings

room. where the Kings Daughters will
serve cream. will be well patronized- N
