Everyone is looking forward TO the
pleasures Of the May Day Festival, to be
given In the PRESBYTERIAN church. which
the ladies' OF that church, aided BY the
Pastors Union Of the same, have had In
course Of preparation for some time. The
ladies one and all, married and in the state
Of single blessedness, have been untirng in
their efforts to make it pronounced sue
cess, and there is no reason to believe that
il will not so turn out
This May Day Festival was originally
intended for one dav only, namely, tomor-
row, Monday, May 1, but owing to the
limited hall accommodation the various
committees decided to continue 1t another
day, namely Tuesday, so that those who
may be unable to attend Monday evening
may rest assured Of witnessing exactly the
same programme on Tuesday evening.
aIt was also intended at first to make no
charge for admission at the Ior, but wiser
counsel prevailed and as tangible results
are desired II was deemed advisable to
charge the nominal sum Of ten cents for
admission to the hall on both nights. No
one will object to it, and as everyone can
afford the ten cents it will help the ladies'
in securing a fund for furnishing the
church and to meet other contingent ex-
penses.

row and Tuesday night will be the Nav
pole dance and song by the children. These
have been rehearsed faithfully by the Mrs.
