very artlSt1cally arranged, and was an at
traction to which ones time could well be
given. The ladies in charge displayed ex-
cellent taste in decorating the long tables
with yellow blossoms and green foliage,
which were fastened at intervals upon the
snow white table coverings. Upon the
first able as one entered the vestry, were
placed in easy, careless yet orderly man
ner, single mounted pictures, folding
pictures, booklets containing desira BILE
views, the covers of which were neatly
tied with dainty white ribbons, and bear
ing the word "Souvenir,' in some soft
tint. There were pictures fastened by
twos, threes and tours, so as to form con-
venient and handsome wall ornaments,
and among all these were placed vases of
beautiful flowers which gave added beauty
and color. These pictures were for sale at
very moderate prices, thus giving those
hungry for some choice bit of home seen
cry, an opportunity of purchasing. Be
yond this table was another equally we'll
trimmed, upon which were more select
pictures far outnumbering those on the
first table. These were not for sale but
simply an exhibition which called forth
expressions of approval and admiration.
Some unique pictures of little folks, black
and white, called forth pleasing remarks.
While views of some rushing water fall or
quiet, sleepy nook, or group of happy,
laughing faces invited attention, until a
close observer almost felt that he had
really caught the living view which was
the artists privilege as he took the pic
fr1r &c ,s4l
mon photos which increased the beauty of
arrangement. Upon an easel were dis
played to advantage photographs showing
most correct pictures and perfect finish.
Farther in the vestry was another table of
quite different character, but eagerly
patronized by those who delight in nice
ice cream and delicious cake. There was
still another table loaded with bright bios
SONS of all colors and shades, so arranged
that they of themselves formed floral ex-
hibit. Altogether the affair proved sue
cess and the citizens are pleased that the
young people have taken such an active
interest in picture taking; and they deserve
thanks for their labor. IL ~
