West Paris.
The Universalist society was excep-
tionally favored with fine weather for
its sale and supper on Wednesday OF
last week and large number of people
were in attendance. All the sale tables
readily disposed of nearly every article,
and the excellent supper was well
patronized. The net proceeds OF the
affair will be something over $3.50.
The sale tables were prettily trimmed In
white, and down stairs Good Will Hall
was effectively decorated with evergreen
and red berries. Bouquets of the same
were on the dining tables, and evergreen
trees were grouped on the stage, in the
center of which was the mysterious
tulip bed. There were seventy-five red
and yellow paper flowers, the stems of
which were buried in the box which
served as a flower bed. Tied to each
stem was a little package containing
some article of value which was the
property of the purchaser of the flower
and every flower was sold long before
evening. Two trees hung full of paper
oranges, inside of each being written
fortune. Nearly all of these were also
sold. The arrangement of the stage was
in charge of the Junior Y. p. c. U. and
much credit is due them for its success.
For sale on the floor at one side of the
stage was a pyramid pile of 10-cent bags
of salt, which Melted the neat sum OF
about 500. This was in charge of Mrs.
Evie Lapham, who secured from the man.
ufacturers the gift of the salt for this sale.

away and an attentive and appreciative
