In the southwest corner ice cream,
sherbet and cake were served in the
Iceland booth. A brilliant effect was
produced in this place by a representa-
ton of the aurora boreaIis, made by a
combination of cOIOred electric lights
on a white screen. The walls and pill
lars of the booth were covered with cot
ton and tinsel which looked pretty but
stuck to peoples clothes The following
young ladies in white dresses and wear
ing large pattern hats, attended the
guests: Misses Harriet NJ. Jones, Mar
Mabel Knowles.
Between the japanese and Iceland
booths was the entrance to the Gypsy
cave. Lying on bright cOlOTed rugs
before an electric light fire on the floor
in true Gypsy fashion were Misses Hila
Hinckley, Marcia Spivey and Anna
Mckee. Miss Annie M. Jones, dressed
as a Gypsy, told fortunes to those who
came. a stranger who came was told
that he had crossed the ocean several
times and was born in a foreign land.
He looked surprised, and said: That's
right, Miss I was born in England
and have been home twice" He was
further told that he had wronged some
one he had loved Again he was sur
prised and exclaimed to his companion:
What do you think of that? My wife
and I parted last May"

queen elect Molly Fryer StackOvitch
