church women are always on the
alert for new ideas for their sociapies'
mite-societies and other money-makins
entertainments. In one community the
1ad,es held a candy sale There were
in the society a number Of persons VINO
were experts in the manufacture OF nne
candies. It was decided to have a re-
cention conducted on first-class princi-
Mes and to have a table and sell candy
during the progress OF the entertain
ment Large quantities Of sweets were
Drenared as well as preserved dates,
salted almonds and other dainties. =
faw choice cakes were also brought in.
Afternoon tea was served and between
whiles the ladies' bought candy and ate
Il there. or had It wrapped up 70 carry
awav with them. The candy table was
exceedingly attractive, and a consider
able sum was realized.
Al another reception, cakes, confec-
tionery. preserves, jellies, salted al
monds and choice pickles were brought
IN for sale. This was held in the even
Ing and was very well attended. A
nreitv idea was evolved when a couple
n Young girls set out TO raise some
money to add books to their Sunday
school library. There was to be very
swsll entertainment IN the evening.
and these enierprising young misses
ref nm a flower table in a store on one
~ ne principal streets Of the town in
which they lived. They advertised
choice flowers for the evening, and al
enough they laid in what seemed TO
them a very large stock. they we're
romnletely sold out before the hour for
~ entertainment. and could have
fIled many more orders.
In communities where there are no
facilities for obtaining delicacies It is
noseible to make a good deal Of money
hv having little sales Of articles suita-
aie FOR sunday dinners and lunches.
In one village there Is always Satur-
aav afternoon sale for the benefit Of the
church. Cooked meats. baked beans
Boston brown bread. and. in their sea
son. mince and pumpkin pies, are Of
fered. There are also sweetmeats OF
various sorts. and cakes in great vari-
CIV not forgetting the old-fashioned
douehnuts. soft gingerbread and soft
unoiasses-ee-e.
everybody is familiar with apron
Gales ana kitchen supply bazaars. but
there is always room for novelties, and
everybody welcomes new ways Of doing
old things.
