first carnival at the Masonic Hall,
Saturday evening, Nov. 25th, and a
large crowd attended. On both sides
of the hall beautiful booths were
erected. The first booth to the right
beautifully draped in scarlet and
green was the fancy work display,
where everything in lovely needle
work was shown. This work showed
skill, patience and taste and was
presided over by Miss Myrtle Muir
ray and Mrs. Myrtle Goodwin. Next
came the candy and peanut booth,
draped in white and red hangings,
and contained most tempting dis
play of delicious home made candies
and freshly roasted peanuts. 1t was
presided over by Misses Ethye Geiszl
and Mary Siler, with Irene Manuel,
Eva Geiszl, Elizabeth Newland and
Mary Messer, as helpers and you
know it was a sweet booth. Next on
the same side of the hall was the well
which held in its depths many useful
and handsome packages, which were
drawn up and presented by Misses
Tanna Thompson and Nadine Nc
Clure. This was very popular scheme
and many more packages could have
been disposed of if they had been
there. The well scene was a pretty
one. Cedar boughs, palms, ferns and
other plants surrounding it, made il
a most realistic affair.
Then across the entire end of the
hall stood the chocolate and cake
booth, presided over by the mother OF
the circle, Mrs. NJ E. Fish, who was
beautifully attired in pure white and
never looked better. She was assisted
ed by the president of the order, Mrs
Frazier Hurt, Misses Byrd Perkins
Mayme Folman, and Myrtle Jones
This booth was certainly handsome
Over the top were suspended bright
stars and Immediately under the cen
ter was suspended an ornamental cir
Gle and in the center in silver letters
the word Martha" Everywhere
were natural looking roses, lilies anC
other flowers suspended and large
punches est ng IL cut glass vases
The pink, green and white looked
very beautiful against back ground
of pure white. Holly and mistletot
peeped at you everywhere. Here wa!
found the most delicious cake anC
chocolate and it was literally patron
lied and was the handsomest booth o.
all.
On the left side of the hall was the
coffee and sandwich booth drapeC
tastefully in the national colors, will
the American flag handsomely drap
ed overhead. Here was to be founC
the finest coffee, splendid sand
witches, salads, pickles and wa
gracefully presided over by Mrs
Jamie Carpenter, Misses Jewell Good
win and John Eva Hilton. 1t was als'
literally patronized.
Next was the weird home of tn,
Fortune Teller. Outside was perche,
wise looking owl and other EN-
blems pertaining to the craft. Ins;d,
sat hideous crone who whined OIL
your past meanness, your presen
badness and your future woe. No ONT
guessed who she was for some ti.n'
when finally it leaked out that it wa
our pretty and shy Miss Ellen Moore
who knew so much about the people:
doings and gave such wise advice
Good music, good behavior and {
liberal patronage amounting to $4f
was what the circle had to thank the
public for. Mrs. Allie Pettus assisted
by many of the young people fur
nished the music and special songs by
Miss Tanna Thompson made every
thing pass pleasantly.
