THE METHODIST FAIR. The sale, supper
and entertainment arranged by the ladies OF
the Methodist church took place in Memo
rial Hall Wednesday afternoon and even
ing, April Sth. The hall was busy place
during the afternoon, when the various
tables did thriving business. The fancy
table was laden with tastefully displayed
, needle work of all kinds, and was in charge
of Mrs A. E. Luce, Mrs. John Dow, Mrs.
Jaw G, Wilson and Miss Bessie Robinson.
A prettily decorated booth in the rear of
the hall held tempting array of sweets.
presided over by Misses Ada Cross and
Inez Hall. The apron table was under the
management of Mrs. Herbert W. Heaey
and Mrs Frank P. Blodgett, who did good

taken and it was difficult to discriminate
though Miss Florence Braddock and Mr.
Lewis AusplaDd in their roles of little old
woman and little old man were particularly
spirited and good, and the policemen quite
brought down the house in their trio. Le
roy Macomber was the manly captain OF the
cadets, who were Leroy Bowden, Harry
Coombs, Harold Merriam. Fred Condor
Frank Orser, Linville Whitm0re, Robert
Ingersoll. Miss Lureua Macomber was the
leader of the young ladies, others OF whom

Gladys Marshall, Elizabeth Chamberlain
Lana Pendleton, Nellie Hall. Eleanor

policemen were Ralph Bramhall. Albert
