the ~city-about fifteen miles distant from
their little town-to spend the day with
Mrs. Hearne's sister, Mrs. Brown, who
lived there. And Mrs. Browns son Ned, a
15-year-old lad, had promised Lucy a great
time.
A right. Mamma" cried Lucy, run
ming upstairs to get her little wrist bag
which she had forgotten to bring down
with her. I'll be ready in less time than
1t takes to count fifty" So saying the lit
tie girl was off like a flash and back into
the sitting room again before her mother
had quite finished with locking up the
doors and securing the windows, Papa
and brother will have luncheon and dinner
at g~randmamma's," explained Mrs. Hearne.
"And now, dearie, we're off"
The ride to the station was a delightful
one, and Lucy was Just as happy as she
could be making plans for the day in the
great bustling city where she did not
get to go very often during the term of
school. But as this was Saturday, and
Mrs. Hearne had not paid her sister a visit
for some time. she had decided to go while
the weather was fine and give Lucy the
pleasure of a visit to the Zoo.
Mrs. Brown and Ned were at the station
TO meet Mrs. Hearne and Lucy, Ned taking
care Of the hand luggage and Of Lucy.
Here" he said l~aughingly to his little
country cousin" as he teasingly called
Lucy. I'm have TO keep an eye on you OF
you'n be taken up for a wild girl"
Lucy was much amased at her big cousin
Ned's jokes and r%etaliated as best she
could, but being only 9 years old she could
not hope to hold her own" with such a
wiseacre as Ned.
After luncheon Ned took Lucy to the
Zoo. while their mothers went shopping
The Zoo was about a mile from the city
limits and was a very complete one, acres
and acres being covered by animal houses
cages and pens. Lucy had visited the Zoo
once when she was a little tot Of 5 years
but had not been there since. SO the visit
held much interest for her, Long she and
her cousin Ned remained in front Of tho
mSukcy house, Lucy laughing and laughing
till her sides ached at the funny antics o.
the queer little animals.
Then they visited the lions, the tigers

met all who came and made them well
come Over the doors of the dining room
were placards saving, Shamrock Inn"
When the doors were opened a bit of
"Erin's Isle presented itself to the eye
and those who were unable to find seats
were much disappointed The tables
were decorated with green, the napkins
were OF a shamrock pattern, and each
guest received shamrock with an Irish
anecdote. The hostesses and mattresses
wore white with green ribbons and
shamrock leaf. The menu included many
dainties, some of them of a green color,
land the whole was very prettily served,
The hostesses poured tea and coffee at
the tables and dispensed hospitality
lavishly.
After supper program of music and
readings was enjoyed, Mrs. Don c.
Stiles sang, Frank 0. French read
story by Seumas McManus, and Yeats
THE Land of Hearts Desire" was read
by c. P. Rowland, Rev. DR.. S. G. Barnes,
Chauncey Adams, Miss Caroline S.
Woodruff, Miss Eva L. Wilde, and Miss
Marion Fairbanks. After much urging
Rev. DR.. E. T. Fairbanks read several
Irish stories. The most amusing part
of the program was the auctioning of
the large posters with Harry M. Nelson
as auctioneer. After some spirited bid
ding the posters were sold to Rev. DR..
S. G. Barnes and Chauncey Adams.

Vaudeville Attractions at the FAIR.

booked on Monday evening the largest
and most expensive line of vaudeville
attractions ever seen in St. Johnsbury.
The attractions were all secured of the
Park Booking Circuit and have appeared
with great success at the New York
Hippodrome through the winter. The
star attraction is the seven Grumathos
lady acrobats, though the children will
undoubtedly be more interested in the
six Teddy bears, a group of trained
bruins who will delight young and old
with antics. The third attraction is
Francis and Francisco in their inmitable
clown work, the whole making an un-
rivalled list of amusements for the pa
irons Of the fair.
