NO CANDY ON SALE.
But Great Many Other Articles Were
Available at Congregational Fair.

The annual sale of the Congregational
lchurcb, started yesterday afternoon and
continued to-day and tonight, is proving
very successful, even beyond the expec-
tations of those in charge, the stock in
trade being materially reduced last night,
although there is good line left for
the closing day.
| The church parlor was elaborately and
beautifully decorated with flags and
bunting, giving a charming effect TO the
booths and walls. At the fancy work
BOOTH dainty articles of needlework
found ready sale at the hands of Mrs
| H. j. Slayton, Mrs. VIII Wheaton, Mrs.
| +. J. Martin and Mrs. James Cow, while
the apron table was in charge of Mrs
/ II. A. Holt and Mrs. Fred Fisher. There
were aprons of every kind and that many
appreciated the opportunity to buy was
shown by the sales of yesterday.
An innovation was the white elephant
booth, where articles which had proved
to be white elephant" on the hands of
the owners were sold for a small price.
The booth itself was unique and for its
makeup much credit is due James Rob
ertson, white elephants that would make
the real animal recognize its kind be-
ing used in the decorations. Mrs. Noble
Love, Mrs William Cole, ir., and Miss
Eula Ayeril were in charge of the booth
The food table, presided over by Mrs.
Harry A. Kendall. Mrs. Arthur Tilden
and Mrs A. p Abbott, was busy spot
most of the time and the edibIes dsap
peared rapidly, but another supply will
be on sale to-day, with enough for ev
erybody
Conspicuous by its absence was the usual
candy booth, but with the sugar situa- |
tion as it is at the present time, the
conservation problem came home to the |
church fair with force, which did its |
bit" by refraining from putting on sale
the toothsome dainties as 1t has been
wont to do.
Last evening concert was the attrac
ton and large number were present. |
The entertainment consisted of living |
pictures, illustrated by song, and a de-
lightful evening was spent in listening
