Had Successful Sales, Fine Baby Show,
an Excellent Entertainment and a
Delightful Dance.
Considering the unusual heat of Mon
day, particularly in the evening, there
was large attendance at the Waldo
County Hospital Fair, held in the Ar
mory, afternoon and evening, under the
auspices of the Hospital Aid. The sales
tables, decorated with flowers, were in
readiness early in the afternoon and the
committees were busy even into the
evening, when some of the larger articles
were disposed of by tickets. The flower
table was especially attractive with its
abundance of beautiful sweet peas in as
sorted bouquets. Many of them were
from the garden of Miss Anne C. Crosby
and Mrs. John A. Fogg.
The afternoon program began at $3.50
with group of songs sung by Mrs. Rich
ard E. Stevens of Boston with Mr.. Stew
ems as accompanist Both were listened
to with rare pleasure and responded to
repeated encores. Mrs. Stevens has
been heard in this city several times and
always with increasing interest in her
sweet, sympathetic voice and natural,
pleasing personality.
There were twenty entries in the baby
show when the prizes were disposed of as
follows: The gold pins for the heaviest
were given to Ruth Grace Gross, years
and months, weight 29 3-4 pounds; to
Raymond Nelson, 20 months, weight
81 3-4 pounds. The DR.. True cup went
to Harold Dutch, aged 20 months, as the
prettiest child under three and to Maur-
ice French, aged years, as the prettiest
over three years.
