KINGS DAUGHTERS.


a Successful Fair and supper Given
Thursday Evening.
The fair and supper given by the Kings
Daughters society at Odd Fellows hall
last Thursday was Il gratifying success,
S120 being realized. The supper served
in the banquet hall at O'Clock was an
excellent one. 1t was declared one of the
best suppers ever given by the Kings
Daughters, which is saying much.
The upper hall, where the fair was held,
needed no further decoration tnan the
different booths to make it most attrac-
tive. In the centre OF the hall vas the
flower booth, where potted plants and cut
flowers We're for sale, and found ready
purchasers. About the hall were the
other booths.
A unique feature of the fair was the
bargain counter, on which was displayed
varied assortment of bargains:
Articles for household use,
Some warranted to stand abuse,
Many used for decorating,
Some designed for recreating
Ribbons rare of every hue.
Sold by the yard or two
line of stationery, too,
For writing poem or billet douX.
If here you cannot find
An article that suits your mind
Keep on around the hall
There are six tables try them all.
There was good display of fancy arti-
cles. Many beautiful pieces of hand
decorated china were seen at the booth
set apart for it. The apron table was one
of the popular ones, and sales were brisk.
The same might be said of the home
made candy and May basket ia ole. Many
dainty little May baskets were sold.
In corner of the hall, separated from
the main hall by screens, We're arranged
tables where ice-cream and cake were
served.
On Friday the Kings DaG51,sss served
a dinner at the hall.
