 The parlors at the Methodist church presented very attractive scene last evening, when all was in readiness for ''The Trip Around the World. '' A large number engaged passage and competent guides conducted groups for the entire trip. Starting from the Boston booth, time was given to in- specG the quaint contents-spinning wheel, tin lantern, foot stove, pewter trenchers, candle sticks, warming pan, antique chairs and cradle.

Park hurst and Mrs. B. R. Arnold, an edu- cated daughter, Miss Marion Fenton, and Gertrude Converse, Seymour Buck and Benjamin Arnold as picknninies, with dog and hen, next held attention. Here hoe-cake and maple syrup were indulged in. The Indian tepee, with Miss Mary Russell in charge, was a splendid reproduction with fine fur robes and Indian baskets. Here the ! attractive group of young people in costume, Misses Nina Reynolds, Victoria Campo and Vera: Kaddy and Master Donald Eaton, gave to each guest tiny birch: bark canoe laden with popcorn. Mrs. George Frazier and Misses Gertrude and May Hirsch, attractive as Spanish American ladies, served hot tamale, in paper cases, from the enclosure around their real. istic adobe hut. The Chinese booth had many lanterns, banners in Chi nese characters and the typical lilies. Here Mrs. Carrie Needham, Misses Ethel Whitaker, Beatrice Frazier and Elinor Graves, in Chinese garb, dis penced chopped suey. Much fun was made by the attempt of the guests to manipulate chop sticks. The Japenese tea garden was resplendent:' with cherry blossoms, umbrellas and teak wood stands. Mrs. w. H. Reed seated on the floor before her tea table poured the real Japanese brew, which,, with small cakes, was served with the usual perfunctory ceremony of that picturesque people, by Misses Ola Hayes, Hildreth Whitaker : and Maude Weeks. Rich brocades formed the booth occupied by the Hindu ladies and their spotless gaLb. Mrs, Arthur Kellogg, Misses Clara 'tJenkins, Gladys Oomins and Mary Reynolds served curried rice. The Italians, with their grapevine clad pergola were jolly group of young ladies. Mrs. George Perry, Misses Marian Lee and Gertrude Frazier gave each guest spaghetti to be eaten with a toothpick.@ At Holland the good old Delft blue predominated in the freize, the tiled fireplace and the hangings. As cheese sandwiches and coffee were proffered in old blue china, the neatly attired Dutch girls were indeed good to behold. Miss Edith Cushman was assisted by Miss Elizabeth Whitaker, Mrs. Clara Hirsch and William Ellis. The center of the picturesque setting was occupied by the most beautiful booth, the straw thatched Hawaiian home, over which pink and yellow roses ran riot. Here rose bedecked Hawaiian girls, Mrs. B, T. Eaton, Misses Hattie Lee and Gladys Arm strong, drew from a flower covered fountain refreshing fruit punch. Ellis Island had been given the place of prominence on the roped off stage and here the occupants of the different booths entered the country's portal for admittance to American shores. Much that was realistic and amusing was furnished by the U. s. officials, R. W. Ellis, Gerald Neal and Arthur Lee, ''Dr. " B. N. Penney and Miss Stuart, assistant superintendent from the Johnson hospital, with Mrs. R. W. Ellis as city missionary.
