Smith of st. Johnsbury who furnished the

the pleasant affair. The vestry and church
parlor were trimmed in bunting and the
| Odd Girls looked odd enough with their
bright colored japanese costumes and
wearing their japanese fans in their hair
! as they waited the hungry customers.
! One of the notable features of the occasion
was the large eight-foot japanese umbrella,
! which Captain Griswold loaned Mrs Smith
| for the entertainment. 1t was decorated
outside and inside with japanese characters
and attracted much attention and was
commented on freely. The party was es-
pecially enjoyed by the children who came
in large numbers.
