Catholic Festival
Was Great Success

The festival at the Armory last
Saturday evening was declared a
splendid success by the throngs of
merrymakers in attendance. Though
the thunder showers kept many away,
a goodly crowd gathered on the floor
for dancing throughout the evening
hours. The entry fee did not cost a
cent-and it was not the fault of
the charming group of women in
charge if the guests were left with
single cent on their departure. The
hall was made attractive with its
decorations of bunting and japanese
lanterns and at each of the four cor
ners booths for the sale of refresh
ments were prettily arranged.
Mrs. w. M. Burke, general chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments, was in charge of one table
where ice cream and cake were
served. She was assisted by Mrs.
Newell, Mrs. Alfred Despuit and Mrs.
E! A. Harding.
Homemade candies we're sold by
Mrs. Carmichle and Mrs. w. H. Hes
lin. Mrs. A. A. Bourgeois, assisted
by Mrs. F. M. Tarut and Mrs. Levert,
served pops and soft drinks, as did
also Mrs. Wiley at a table at the
opposite corner of the hall. Miss
Margaret Wiley and M. st. Armant
assisted the latter matron.
Mrs. Geo. Werckley and Mrs. j.
W. Sutton were in charge of the
other ice cream table. Mrs. L. L.
whitehall scored q big success with
her grab-bag. Children and grown
ups alike found great fun in drawing
the mysterious packages, inasmuch
as a particularly winsome smile was
also dispensed with every investment
of 10 cents.
The dance music, contributed by
Ed Quin, violinist; ]. w. Sutton,
drummer, and John Melancon, plan
list, added much to the enjoyment of
the occasion-and as closing fea-
ture, several homemade cakes and
articles contributed for the cause
were disposed of.
The green silk parasol-umbrella,
which was the especial care of Miss
Della Demoulette during the evening,
was won by Mrs. F. NJ. Tarut; the
lace vestee fell to Miss Dora Stewart,
and Fred Leblanc was the fortunate
contestant for the huge snowy cake
made by Mesdames Pickard and
Harding.
The proceeds of the festival will
go toward the building fund of the
proposed new residence for Rever-
end Father M. Maur, o. S. B., pastor
of the Church of the Annunciation.
Father Maur takes this occasion to
thank the ladies who arranged the
| festival. and others who have con.
tributed to this fund.
