Will Be Held in
the Drillshed
Today.

the quaint old melodies of childhood will
appear this afternoon at the Driilshed.
instead of at residence of Dr. and Mrs.
J. s. McGrew. The reason for the change
is the inclemency of the weather and
the refusal of the weather prophet TO in
sure fair weather, a blue sky overhead
and dry ground underfoot Although the
quaint and attractive costumes which are
to be worn this afternoon would have
shown off to better advantage on a lawn
and beneath the foliage of shade trees,
i yet the ladies are to change the Drillshed
| into a pretty interior, and when the
striped-cloth canopies of the various
booths are in position, and the decora-
tions arranged, the Mother Goose fair
will appeal not only to the eye as an
artistic venture. but will have its inf1u-
ence in emptying the pockets of the pat
rons.
The fair IS given by the Ladies' Guild
of the Second Congregation of ST. An
drew's cathedral, and much hard work
has been done to make ii a social and
financial success. There is little in the
way of counter attractions this after
noon. and a large attendance is antici-
pated. When 1t was decided to make the
change from the lawn to the Drillshed,
Colonel Jones at once gave his consent
that the armory should be used by them

general supervision over all other COM
mittees, is composed of the following
ladies: Mrs. Charles b. Cooper, Mrs. r.
