They run in fancy diagrams
All up and down his back;
But when he strikes Old Ellis team
He'll find it sad but true
That the only stripes upon his back
Are black and blue"

The ladies of the First Universalist
Church always aim to furnish as many
novel and interesting attractions at
their annual fair as is possible to plan
and make practical. This year for
their annual festival, which will occur
on Dec. and 5, they are planning
more specialties than ever before. Pro-
jects in every department have been
developing since the summer vacation
and many of the committees were at
work at an earlier period. All are
striving in pleasant rivalry to Guido
one another and gain the greatest sue
cess.
This occasion is not to be given the
name of "A Fair" but is to be known
as THE Butterfly Carnival" A large
executive committee has charge over
all, under the craftsmanship of Mrs. E.
A. Hunt who is president of the Ladies'
Social Circle Of the church. A large
committee whose chairman is Mrs.
Billings Mann will decorate the church
Vestry where the carnival will be held.
The general effect will be in green and
white and butterflys of every known
hue and shade will abound on every
side. Some will be very large and will
be sold for lamp shades at the close of
the carnival. The ceiling decorations
will be feature this year never before
attempted and will be in charge of Miss
Harriet Adams and her Glass 9.
AS. usual the suppers will draw large
numbers. They will be served at $50 and
$50 to accommodate all and will con-
tinue until the last patron has been
waited upon A fine turkey supper or
rather a dinner will be served the first
evening in charge of Mrs. Ellen Peck
ham and the second evening will find
the ladies presenting all the toothsome
delicacies which are offered at a
salad supper" Mrs. w. L. CULVER
has this in charge.
The entertainment program will Gre
ate much interest and call out the best
talent. Wednesday afternoon the
children will see presented for their
special benefit the bright operetta
"Grandmother's Birthday" Mrs. J. F.
B. Litchtield is in charge of the presen-
tation, assisted by Mrs. Frank Kettell.
Wednesday evening Chaffin's Orchestra
of five pieces will render a concert
program from $50 until $50. On the
evening of Dec. an exceedingly good
cast will present a humorous little
sketch called "a Blighted Bud" The
committee in charge consists of Mrs.
Vincent E. Tomlinson, Mrs. Nelson C.
Keyes and Mrs. Lizzie L. Bullock
There will be beautifully decorated
booths for the sale of the many articles
that can be bought nowhere so we'll as
at a church festival The Remembrance
booth will be a new feature and will
have offered for sale articles sent ex-
clusively by former Pensioners and at
tendants at this church who have
moved away from the city. Mrs. Emily
E. Ward, Mrs. E. "a. Britain, Mrs. w.
A. Richardson and Miss Jennie e.
Marley are to conduct the sale of the
articles. An orange grove will be, the
headquarters for the mystery packages
that are sought for by the children.
The unique and novel appearance of
oranges growing on spruces will be pre-
scented and the fruit will offer some
wonderful disclosures when quartered
by the children. Miss Stella Plummer
and Mrs. T. Spencer jerks will be in
charge and the young ladies of Glass
q of the Sunday school will assist.
Master Robert Benchley will have a
room separate from the booths for the
presentation of a particular entertain
ment which will create pleasure for the
children. The art needlework depart
ment will be conducted by large COM
mittee. Mrs. Harry c. Robinson is in
charge. There will be other booths for
the sale of the numerous attractions.

Since William H. Rieger has ap-
peared at a Worcester concert, he has
made two long tours with Nine Nor
dica, and it is interesting to note that
the leading papers of five different
cities-New York, Louisville, Atlanta,
Richmond and Columbus-should each
say "Rieger shared the honors
with Nordica." The reserve seat sale
for the Rieger- Wiley recital opens at
Schervee's Nov. 80, but tickets which
may be exchanged for reserve seats
are now on sale at Schervee's and
Davis & Banister's.
Darlington Kendall inherits the tai
ent of both his parents. He is bright,
very quick and nervous in manner. and
with his typical English accent, his
monocle and his attractive straight
forwardness, is very different from the
dull person many consider the average
Englishman to be.
His gift of mimicry is probably his
cleverest trait, but so versatile is he
that E. w. Townsend of ';Chimmie
Fadden' fame is writing him new
monologue and other writers are urg-
ing him into more serious work. He
will give an imitation here of Sir
Henry Irving as Matthias in 1.-The
Bells during his entertainment in
Memorial Hail. Dec. 10.
