The May festival last night at the

of the Ladies Auxiliary, was decided
success from beginning to end. A
large and delighted audience was
present, occupying the gallery and all
the available space on the floor OF
the gymnasium
The decorations were elaborate
and appropriate. The lobby of the
association building was flied with
spring flowers and blossoms The
gymnasium, where the festival was
held, was especially attractive in it's
decorations CT flowers, blossoms, flags
end bunting, while the May Pole
adorned the center of the room and
the May Queens throne was on a
raised platform en- the north side.
The program was we'll arranged
and well executed. The drills were
exceptionally good as was, also the
winding OF the May Pole. There was
not the slightest hitch or mistake in
ell of these intricate movements and
large measure of credit is Cue to

Japenese kimonos.

nlerryment
