In their commendable efforts to raise
money for paying off the Indebtedness
Of the church, the ladies of st. Mat
thewS' congregation have given num-
Der of very pleasing entertainments
this winter, but that which will be
given tonight promises to eclipse all

be "Klondike social 1t was happy
idea, in view of the Alaska gold craze
to select such an attractive title for the
affair, but it is not the name only
which will be suggestive of the FL
dorado of the Northwest.
All the ladies on the committees will
wear appropriate costumes. The pa
iron will be required to deposit piece
of silver with the door-keeper, in ex
change for which he will receive a

piece, and is permitted to stake off
another claim. The hunt for hidden
treasures is certain to produce a great
deal of merriment.
The ladies have decorated the lee
ture room in very tasteful fashion.
the pillars and chandeliers are COW
cred with yellow cloth, and the shades
for the lights are of the same material.
In fact, yellow is the prevailing color
in the decorations. Each piece of de-
sirable territory is marked by num-
Der of palm trees, and as these are dis
tributed about the room, the effect is
very pleasing. There are also some
very rich Oriental hangings.
The word "Klondike' is said to sig
Nifty many fshes-the authority cannot
be given. This fact has led the ladies
to stretch blue cloth around the walls,
and to cover it with paper fishes. The
affair promises TO be a complete sue
cess in every respect.
