dies of the Congregational church IN
the chapel Wednesday afternoon and
evening is deserving of especial praise,
jnasmuch as everything was well ar
ranged appropriate, and the entire pro-
gram kept moving with commendable
CELEBRITY.
The ladies took special pains to pre-
pare the various booths attractively
decorating them in colOrs with crepe
paper artistically arranged. This ar
rangement made a pretty background
for the various goods for sale.
There was a candy booth where all
kinds of toothsome delicacies were on
sale; a stencil booth; a Japanese and
basket booth containing articles from
the Orient as well as from the Occi-
dent a doll table where the little miss
es went into raptures Of delight over
the beautiful specimens on sale; table
for the sale of fancy articles and last
but not least a place where refresh
ments were dispensed at nominal
price This was in a way an nova
ton and created much favorable COM
ment, as it enabled the shoppers pres
ent to lunch without leaving the build
ind. A portion of this department was
called the "Chic-a-Dee" table, where
chicken in various forms was dis
pensed. Tea and chocolate were also
served in this booth and Welsh rare
bit could be procured at short notice,
prepared in a delicious manner.
In the evening a nicely acted Sher-
lock Holmes sketch entitled 1.-THE
Speckled Band" was presented, with
the following cast of characters: Mrs.
Sherlock Holmes, Miss Connick; DR..
Watson, Miss Faith Randall; Mrs. DR..
Royloth. Miss Lucy Titcomb; Miss
Stoner. Miss Susan Johnson. The first
act was placed in Sherlock Holmes
apartments and the second and last act
in Miss Stoners room in DR.. Roy
loth's house.
1t is a mater of considerable interest
to know that the sale will be continued
this afternoon and evening as there
were many useful and valuable articles
left from yesterdays sale. One of the
famous Chicken suppers with all the
fixings will be served at $50 P NJ. and
it is hoped that a large number will at
