Last Sunday the minister gor.. 49,.
that on Tuesday night there wouId no
a fair to raise money to Garnet tbe mar
sonage. That parsonage is always
wanting a new carpet. But. as the ave-
rage clergyman has from eight ~ ten
wellsprings Of pleasure prancing ove.
mis- carpets, and all the women in the
congregation visit on his canets I
suppose they do wear out rather ou,ck-
er than those of city clergyman WHOSE
family is fashionably small and whosa
visitors are few. When visiting one
must always go 10 the fair for the hen.
eft of the parsonage AT a country
fair you get such a lot for your money.
Al this fair, however, a city girl could
have learned great deal.
A COUNTRY CHURCH FAIR
and that is the reason l am telling
about it. Ny first stop was at the bag
table. There they had everything nos.
sible in the shape Of bag. There
We're cretonne bags for your shoes:
there were linen bags that rolled I'D for
your medicine bottles; there were big
lowered chintz bags bound with braid
and with a stick run through the TOD
TO hold your soiled linen; there were
brocade bags for your fan and hand
kerchief when you were going 10 a
party; there were satin and plush and
brocade bags for opera glasses; and
there were netted bags OF course six
TO be used for shopping. You KNOW
that kind of bag In Philadelphia they
call it the Boston bag; in Boston they
call it the Philadelphia bag, and IL New
York, when it is seen, somebody says.
"Oh. she lives out Of town. you can tell
It by her bag" Then there were rag
bags clothespin bags, and best OF al.
lust in the center of the table, stood a
travelling bag all fitted up win lovely
brushes and bottles, which Vas not 10
be rallied. oh, dear, no. rafting is gam
bling. but It was to be subscribed Tor!
The distinction is fine one Blu, the
fun is just the same.
I bought a laundry bag and clothes
pin bag. and then l was led astray by.
a pretty girl TO the next table. That
table was a sort OF jim Dandy. II was
THE HANDKERCHIEF TABLE.
You got everything you wanted in the
shane of handkerchiefs from a tiny
square Of linen cambria mp
to a silk mufiier and down to beauIi-
full red and yellow bandanna. AFTER
this | was drawn, through the Quaker
blood in me. TO what might have been
called the clearly table. since upon II
were sponges and knitted wash cloths
with soap tied on them. A knitted
wash cloth. / may mention, Is calcu-
lated TO take not only. the dirt OH one !
skin. but anything else that Is super
fuous with the possibility Of the ski
itself departing. If had an enemy
would urge him TO use knitted Wasi-
cloth. But they do look clean, IL costs
but little to evolve them and by tying
a cake OF soap that costs but i've c,ntS
to one. it becomes possible TO sell the
whole get-up for twenty-five Genus.
They are evolved by knitting needles
and plain white cotton. The enormous
rroft is excused on the ground that
considerable carpet is required for
Rut the real duck OF table was that
which was piled high with aprons.
