 tainment at Warner Hall.


 tninmcnt at Warner Hall. One of the most unique and at the
 same time most enjoyable entertain ments held in this city in some time is the Cafe Musicale" which is being held
 at Warner hall under the auspices o:
 the Y. M. c. A. The idea of serving supper and giving musical entertain ment at the same time Is quite new, but
 in the present case it Is proving de-
 cidedly popular one. The Musicale opened Wednesday evening most auspi- ciously, the attendance being far be- yond all expectations Both the enter tainment and the supper were first class, and this fact was probably the cause of the great success of last even- 1 ing's affair. From 6 o'clock, the time the doors opened, until the close of the 1 entertainment the hall was crowded. Every table was filled with diners and the woman who acted as walters were kept very busy for more than two hours.
 The entertainment of the evening consisted of the presentation of "Ye Olde- Fashioned Singing Skewl" by a number of well known young men and women under the leadership of Mrs. George w. Augur, and selections by the Y. M. c. A. orchestra. The play was we'll acted and was very enjoyable. It was enthusiastically received. Those who took part are the following: Mrs. George w. Augur, Harry Bray, Walter Curtis $. H. Everett, William Farren, Frank Hutchings, Joseph Kearney, Frank Page, Henry Russell, B. Russell, Miss Edna Augur, Miss H. Rosa Bur- we'll, Miss Lizzie Doolittle, Miss Bessie Hunter Miss Grace Hunt, Miss Grace Littlejohn, Miss Ada Lindsey, Miss Emma McDonald Miss Ruth Parker, Miss Mattie Shipman and Miss Louisa Thompson.
 An enjoyable part of the musicale that should be mentioned are the pret- tily decorated booths around the sides of the hall, which are in charge of vice presidents of the association. Ice cream, home made cake and candies and lem onade are sold, and a tree hung with orange-shaped packages is called the tree of mystery. Every parcel sold for the same price and put to be opened until purchased.
 The hall itself is also beautifully dec orated with festoons of greens and bunting, and presents truly beautiful appearance.
