The Feast OF Cherry Blossoms"
sale OF fancy work, domestic arti-
cles and all sorts of good things to
eat, including cake, candy. ice cream
and fruit-syrup was held on Tuesday
evening at Hill Crest hall and proved
very pleasant and successful occa-
sion. The fair was given by the La
dies Aid society of the Methodist
church. and the proceeds will be de-
voted to the general work of the
committee. AS all the money has not
ben turned in 1t is impossible to state
at present what this fund will amount
10.
The hall was very prettily decor
ated for the occasion, being arranged
to represent a bower Of cherry BIOS
SONS. These buds were made of small
pieces Of tissue paper twisted about
the twigs Of branches, which framed
the windows, swung from the ceiling,
or trimmed the booths. The most at
tractive and novel arrangement In
the room was perhaps the large "or-
ange tree" in the corner. Here were
hung the grabs" wrapped in cotton
and orange paper to resemble the
real fruit. The center of the room was
occupied by the domestic, fancy work
and souvenir booths, where all sorts
CT useful household articles were dis
played. Passing around the border OF
the room the first table was devoted
to the sale OF candy and fruit-syrup,
and proved as popular a center as
usual at such an affair. The handker-
chief table next 1t was very orna-
mental as well as prolific department
OF the sale. some OF the goods hav-
ing come from Japan. The popcorn

providing enough Of this delicious
commodity to keep the little girls
supplied who dispensed ii around the
room. Those who must think OF the
family table were glad to find the
cake booth, where they could pro-
| cure very appetizing wares. Then the
ever popular ice cream cone was
| found right near the door, where one
could satisfy his appetite as soon as
he came to see and buy.
At the close of the evening a short
address was made by the pastor of
the church, in which he announced
the presentation OF a beautiful sink
handkerchief to the chairman CT the
society, Mrs. Charles Cleaves. Many
