On Monday evening last. occurred
the long anticipated Washington tea
and cake-walk, given under the auspices
of the ladies of the Episcopal society.
The opera house WAS decorated in q
manner fitting the day, the stars and
stripes floating triumphant. ~
MIR. Jas. + Chandler and Mrs Frank
Davey as George and Martha Washing
ton received the guests in a manner
which lacked nothing in dignity and
cordially A genuine New England
tea was served from five till seven
Two large tables groaned with good
things, the only fault in the supper be-
ing that the provisions gave out ere the
hungry crowd was provided for.
The cake-walk, which was the attrac-
tion of the evening, commenced at s
o'clock and for one hour sixteen couples
furnished wholesome fun for the spec
tators. The judges were Fred Stevens
of South Dakota, DIR. ferguson and
VIM. Killefer of Paw Paw, who found
il hard to decide the most deserving.
The cakes were awarded as follows:
Style, Rue Mosier and Miss Patterson;
grace, Wilbur Warner and Vivian
Broaghton; politeness, Bert Shower
man and Eva McCabe; comic costume,
James O'Grady and Rae Showerman
Those taking part in the cake-walk
are some of Paw Paws brightest young
people, and much credit is due them
for the order and success of the enter
tainment. The costumes ranged from
fancy to ridiculous and would have
surprised the dusky inhabitants of the
LAND of cotton and corn" After the
walk, the audience was entertained by
a fine musical programme, which clos
ed the evenings entertainment The
ladies of the society are grateful to the
members of the other churches who so
generously and willingly aided in max
ing the evening pleasant and in making
the much abused ''cake-w walk" bril-
liant success.
The net proceeds were forty i've dol
lars.
