PLEASURE FOR AN EVENING.
Novel Idea In the Way Of q Church
Entertainment


Here's novel idea for a church en-.
tertainment which requires little prep
aration. A rustic bridge was built out
from the stage, incloslng a square
space that was used for fish pond.
Rocks and ferns were grouped along
the edge Of the stage, the floor was
covered with green carpet, and pret-
ty meadow scene painted on coarse
cotton was hung at the back of the
stage. making very picturesque set
ting for the pond, says the Cooking
School Magazine. Steps led up to the
lodge, where, on payment Of a fee,
the prospective fisher was given a
pole and circle of cardboard, upon
which was marked the numDer of
times he was entitled to fish. Thus
equipped, he went up on the bridge
and fished in the pond. Tickets were
also sold by the bridge keepers. Re-
freshments were served, and there
were candy and cake tables and two
stalls where fancy articles were sold.
One OF these stalls bore the sign,
Fish Market" Here fish OF many
brilliont colors and quaint shapes
were for sale; there We're blotters.
shaving cases, pin cushions and
sachst bags. On the cake table We're
many toothsome fishes chocolate and
clear candy fishes and boxes of candy
decorated with water color and pen
and ink sketches, also sandwiches cut
out with fish-shaped tin cutters, also
cookies and small iced cakes. At in.
teryals singing and tableaix may be
given for variety.
