TRINITY PARISH NOTES.
A PLEASANT EVENT.

The ladies of Trinity Parish Guild gave a chicken pie supper and enter talnment In the Guild rooms on Thursday evening, January IA lt was stormy evening, the rain com ing down and freezing as 1t fell made the walks uncomfortable and dam gerous. But there was light and warmth and a good social time in the Guild rooms and good attendance as shown by the receipts of the evening, which amounted to $26. The sup per was served from 5,30 to ' o'clock, and was bountiful and appetizing as these ladies well know how to make 1t. The eye was pleased as well as the palate by the beautiful setting of the tables, The married ladies looked after the kitchen with Mrs Grace Glover to make the coffee. The younger ladies had charge of the tables, and Mrs Oscar Dikeman acted as cashier 1nere were three tables. The one in charge of Miss Fannie Daniels and Miss Mary Blackman was in green and white carried out in the large lamp in the center, the em- broidered center pieces, the napkins and the vases of ferns. The other two were in pink and white lighted by silver candelabra with pink shades and presided over, the one by Mrs Er- nest Sanford and Miss Julia Dike- man, and the other by Miss Caroline George and Miss Charlotte Minor. At the conclusion of the feast there was an old fashioned spelling match, with the old Webster's spelling book as the stanaard and no appeal from it. Mrs Oscar Dikeman and Mrs H. N. Tiemann were leaders, and after the two sides were chosen the spell ing began. Some went down early, but the spelling book was taxed to bring all down; and there were two ladies who might have been stand ing yet were it not for the fact that the spelling book was wrong as judged by the unanimous verdict of modern Photographers. But as the old spelling book had been made the final authority for this occasion it had to prevail. At the next supper, which the ladies of the Guild will give on Thursday, January 2S, the young ladies will take the kitchen and the married ladies will serve the tables. It will be an old fashioned supper, and the ladies attending the tables will be dressed in ancient cos tunes. The supper will be followed by an entertainment in keeping with the occasion the nature of which will be revealed in due time, but the en- joyable character of which is as- sured in advance.
