A NURSERY MASQUERADE
MOTHER GOOSE PARTY AT THE
DRILL SHED.
Artistic Preparations Should Make Af-
fair Most njoyable-Music, Dancing
and Refreshments on Program.

Preparations are going on busily this
morning at the drill shed for the Moth
er Goose party this afternoon which
has been arranged by the Ladies' Guild
of the Second Congregation of st. An
drew's.
The interior OF the big shed has been
metamorphosed into the semblance of a
lawn fete. The different booths are
small marques of striped canvas with
ferns, palms and bananas to help the
illusion while the roof above and the
dry floor below add comfort to Vlsl-
tors that an alfresco affair would fail
to furnish today.
The harsh inartistic walls are hid
den by greenery and draped flags FUR
nishing a brilliant background Tor the
characters that will seem to nave
walked directly out of a fairy land nur-
sery. All the familiar folks of child
hood are represented in this happy sug-
gestion of Mrs. Emory while music
and dainty and ample refreshment
should make the affair big success.
SO great is the attraction that little
rainy weather will only encourage the
community to make an effort to get to
a place where they can spend wet
afternoon much more enjoyable than at
home.

ed as follows
