Bundle Sale.

The Bundle Sale given by the Guild of the Episcopal church was very enjoyable affair Mrs. l.. Rollwage kindly gave up the first floor of her spacious home for the occasion. The sale of bundles proved very amusing The music was the best.
 Miss Nell Gordon sang in her usual charming manner Miss Webber ren- dered one of Chopin's classics in fine style. Mrs. Atkins sang with the same sweet voice as of old.
 Miss Emma Beck pleased every one with faYorite melodies and joyous rag time.
 Misses Mamie Evans and Norma Isaacs rendered pretty selections giv- ing evidence of truthful work.
 The refreshments sandwiches, hot chocolate, coffee and cream served in dainty manner.
 The Guild desires to express great appreciation of all assistance given them.
 The sum secured on this occasion amounted 10 something over sixteen dollars.
 With this effort of the two guilds and the aid of kind friends, the Church Of the Good Shepherd will soon be released from debt.
