The sale of fancy articles held at Union
Hall by the ladies of the Cong'l church was
a success, Notwithstanding the weather,
Tor it poured in torrents on the afternoon
The hall was prettily decorated in saffron
and crimson, while the booths, nine in num-
Der, were draped and trimmed in various
colors. The program given in the evening
was enthusiastically enjoyed by fairly
good sized audience. MIR. j. II. Bradbury
was the chief feature IF the entertainment
and his readings and limitations were
encored to the echo. There we've solos by
Mrs. James Butnam. Mr.. Ned Roberts and
duet by Miss lIa lie RoulstOne and Miss
Henrietta Ross. The hall was open We'd
nesday afternoon for the sale of fancy
things, the supply of which was remarkably
large this year, The total amount taken
was about 1925. The committee deserve the
most hearty congratulations on their long
continued efforts and they certainly de-
served all the success that came to them.
The piano recital given Saturday night in
the Cong'l church was one of the best ever
heard in town, and both Miss Homer and
Miss Ames proved themselves masters in
their chosen lines. Miss Homer's program
was so arranged as to show to the best adj
vantage her versatile talents. Her tech
nique was remarkable for player of her
years, while her thorough grasp and com
prehension of the soul of the music made if !
a real pleasure to listen to her. Perhaps
her rendering of MacDowell's "To Water |
Lily was the gem of the program-it was |
so dainty and delicate-but she was almost |
equally as good III Mendelssohn Praludium |
