At THE
DRILLSHEO
Mother Goose Fair
Was a Great
Success.

Mother Goose" characters filled the
Drillshed almost to overlooking on
Saturday afternoon, when the Ladies
Guild of St. Andrews Second Congre-
CATION gave their fete based on the
quaint conceits found in Mother
| Goose" melodies. 1t was pretty event
and decidedly an innovation in public
amusements. The costumes were min
utely carried out, and the pretty ma
irons and debutantes and little chill
dren were attractive money makers
| for sweet charitys sake. Music, gay
awnings, plenty of color in the quaint
gowns and the smiles of welcome,
made of the interior of the Drillshed
happy fairyland, and as an indication
of its popularity as a center of attrac-
| ton for the afternoon, and the deft
manner in which visitors We're made
| to part with their money. the receipts
amounted to about $500 in round num-
| numbers. OF course there are expenses
to be deducted from this sum, but
even then there will be a profit worth
all the hard work to which the ladies
were put.
AT the entrance to the armory was
a pretty marquee, the striped awning
harmonizing with the pots of palms
and ferns grouped beneath. Before
this sat the King in his Counting
House, taking in the tickets. To the
right was a beautiful booth for the
sale of flowers, the matronS and debu-
tantes offering them for sale vying in
loneliness with their fragrant blossoms.

white gowns and pretty picture hats
of white with pink and red flowers,
with the exception of Miss Giffard,
who wore red. The ladies at this table
were Mrs. E. D. Tenney, Miss May
Damon Miss Giffard, Miss Juliet King, |
Miss Lucy Roth. In the opposite cor
ner to the left of the entrance was

made candies in pretty paper bags. |
