1t is doubtful If very many people in
ST. Paul had any idea that it was
circus time. But a fiourishing menagerie
| of Gagged beasts arrived at the guild
house of Christ church yesterday, and
| all the afternoon and evening delight
ed the eyes and ears of a large gather
ing Of people young and old, who said.
Hello" to the parrots, poked their
| fingers at the monkeys and fed the fish
| with all the enjoyment of experienced
circus goers.
The young people of Christ church
gave their annual spring fete in the
guild house yesterday and the affair
certainly surpassed all other attempts
at the unique ever attempted at church
| fairs in st. Paul.
| In the first place the entire interior
of the guild house had been hung and
rehung with countless flags. The stars
and Stripes draped every post and pill
| lar hung from every cornice ard
| graced every booth. The booths were
hung with flags draped gracefully over
I a frame work of wood bound with tur-
| key red bunting. AS can be readily
| imagined the effect was gorgeous and
such background for prettily gowned
young women was brilliant
The young women in charge at the
| various stands wore either dainty
| gowns of light organdie or more pa
| troitic costumes of red, white and blue.
| Over all the electric light threw daZ-
! Zling glow, and music lent it's own
| pleasant charm.
There was nut booth from which
were sold all kinds of nuts with or
! without shucks, pop corn and molasses
! ho ice icS Il iyDoh
Miss Lila Espy were on duty here.
At the gypsy tent there was mys-
| terious kettle in which, no doubt, every
| patrons future was brewed before told.
| The young women in this tent wore
| artistic gypsy costumes and told most
wonderful fortunes when their palms
! were properly crossed with silver. They
were Miss Phillips, Miss Austin, Miss
Mary McMichael and Miss Mary Me-
! Carthy.
Miss Napier, Miss McMichael, Miss
! Carr, Miss Bend and Miss Andrews
were in charge of the candy booth,
and sold pounds Of homemade candies.
The fish pond, concealed in grove
! OF palms behind a couple of portieres,
| contained sure enough fish, and bait
and tackle were in charge Of Miss Nc
Masters, Miss Denning and Mrs. Timex
| er.
Up stairs there was a graphophone
/ conducted py f1dIOlQ DyGf, deOISS ME-
! Arthur and James Graham.
| hTe menagerie was on the first floor
! in the choir room, and was the attrac
ton of the evening. Nobody was the
| least bit afraid of the animals, for all
| the cats were safely Gagged, and the
| pretty little lambs were housed behind
| wire netting. A family Of small kit
tens absolutely refused to do thing
but slumber, but they were admired
| just as much. --''
There was an intelligent monkey,
who rolled himself all up in ball SO
soon as any one spoke to him, but
/ slyly peeked out of his admirers when
! their backs were turned, and took pos
session of all the colored bunting with
! in his reach.
A Mexican parrot sat in dignity upon
| a tall wooden bar and viewed the COM
! pany with first one eye and then an
other, but wouldn't talk. Fl Other par
/ rots winked sleepily in their cages and
wondered what it was all about. An
enormous case Of gold fish occupied the
! center of the room, and sent the cats
/ into spasms Of longing.
There was goldf1nch from Califor-
MIA, cage of funny little white rats,
! and some squirrels.
! In charge Of all these wonders were
| Miss Maude Espy, Miss Marie Neuhau-
sen, Miss Alice Rhodes, Rob Daw and
! Arthur Lambert.
