opened Yesterday and Will Continue
This Afternoon and Evening.
Those who visited the sale given by the
ladies' aid society which opened in the
Baptist vestry yesterday, were pleasantly
surprised at the transformation that has
been wrought in the room by the skilful
hands OF the ladies'.
On each side are placed three booths,
leaving the center of the room clear. The
first booth on the right is the cooked food
booth, under the charge OF Mrs. Alice j.
aurch, assisted by Mrs. r. o. Jordan and
Miss Winnie Southland. The colors used
in its decoration were green and white,
making an attractive setting for the cakes
and other eAtsbles that were on sale.
Next on the same side came the booth
delectable-the candy booth, with Mrs.
hiiiam as the chairman, and Mrs. c. 8.
Donneli and Mrs. c. 8. Johnston as help
ers. The color scheme was in pink and
white with laced sides and canopy, and
this, together with the array OF sweets for
the sweet, made an appeal that was ire
sistible. 1t was hard booth to get by.
The next was the canned goods booths,
with Miss Cora Anderson rs leader, and
MRS. A. Ii. Higgins and Mrs. Arthur Ash
more as assistants. The colors used in its
construction were green and pink. This
booth also had . canopy, and the Frame
work was prettiiy arranged in the coiors
used so as to get an alternating effect.
The first on the left on entering is the
lsncy work booth, finely decorated in
green and yellow, the work OF Mrs. Her
Moore and Mrs. Charles Wormell. The
facade OF this booth and the draped ends
added finishing touches that made it at
tfactiye, and the ladies fingered long as
they looked over the fine assortment OF
goods that gave many hint OF Christ
mas
Mrs. W. e. Emery, with Mrs. w. C.
drant as helper, had the apron booth,
waich came next. Red and green were
me colors used, and the idea worked out
with bell effect was very pleasing. Lat
ice work on ends and top heightened the
appearances, and made fine background
ior the apron display which was complete.
The last booth ON this side is the small
ware booth with the president, Mrs.
Nellie Curtis, and Mrs. Hattie Curtis in
charge. This was the only booth that
attempted q triple color scheme, red,
white and green, but these were skiifuliy
arranged with an arched front and
ss!lreamers leading to an ornamental set
ting In the back that made very pleasing
Impression. The good work OF the ladies
on all the boot his won many compliments
rom those who attended the sale yester-
day.
The ice-cream parlor was an institution
oy Itself, with Mrs. w c. Bellatty as chair
men and Mesdames, II. w. Dunn, Abbie
sIushman and w. @. Byard as assistants.
Inc colors used were red and white, and
the room was attractive in festoons that
raoiated from the electrolier to the center
and sides. Many found their way thither
and were refreshed.
Last night q program was rendered,
consisting OF piano selections by Marian
Donnell and Doris Colpitts, song by
nary Ann Morrison, and solos by Ray
MooE. The players were good and the
audience showed its appreciation by ap-
pause, and this was true OF the song. The
lecture OF the evening was the solo by
Mr: Moon |ho has a splendid baritone
ana mad to respond twice to the calls.
