The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1921-12-07
EPISCOPAL LADIES
NET WITH SUCCESS
Fair and Entertainment Last Night
Was Interesting and Well
Patronized.

Never did the Legion hall seem *
small ,as it did last night when hun
dreds packed in to the fair anG enter
tainment conducted by the ladies OF
the Church of the Good Shepherd. And
never has a more successful similar at.
| fair been conducted in Barre. From
early in the afternoon when the bazaar
opened with afternoon tea to the end
of the entertainment program, which
was excellent, there wasn't dull min
ute for the ladies on the booths nor for
the big crowd which was present.
The afternoon tea, which started the
ball rolling, was attended far beyond
the expectations of the most sanguine
and Mrs. Sherman Parker, Mrs. Eva B.
Stewart and Mrs. James McGlaflin were
kept on the quick k-step every minute.
The booths we're opened Immediately
afterward and from then until the
close of the fair at 8 o'clock last night
did department store business.
Just inside the door was placed the
most appropriate feature Of the whole
fair And maybe it wasn't a delight for
the kiddiesl 1t was many seconds be-
fore the mysterious packages adorning
the tree started disappearing and many
a happy little one will remember the
fair for many day, just from that
one part of it.
Next came the domestic booth with
Mrs. James Peer, Mrs George Shan
non and Miss Nellie Warley presiding.
They had their hands full all the
time, the three of them and there
oh ha
cess of this table. And the Christmas
cards indispensable at this season went
like hot cakes from the next table.
Mrs. j. L. III. Carr had charge. Then
came the aprons. The only possible
conclusion one can draw from the traf-
fc at this booth Is that about every
woman in Barre has been going with
out an apron waiting for the Episco-
pal fair Mrs. L. w. Robinson, Mrs.
Harry Dale, Mrs. Nicholas Dale and
Mrs. William Given were the busy ones
here.
The junior booth came next and in
displays of things for the tbts this
table was the beauty. Mrs, James Me-
Glafin and Mrs l.. b. Ligouri were in
charge and they didn't have much Of
stock to show after the crowd haS cir
culated about for few minutes. Then
came the fancy work table and Mrs.
James Duncan, Mrs. Athol Bell and
Mrs. G. A. Brown were the workers. |
Their wares had entirely disappeared !
when the fair closed Then, last but by |
no means least, as can lie imagined, !
came the candy table. And what a
spectaclel Dainties fit for royal palates
we're here but the supply was far short
II the demand. Mrs. r. G. yinton, Mrs.
Martha Cole. Mrs. Robert Foster and |
Mrs. Stanley Marsh had charge.
Everyone, however, declayed that the
most pleasantly surprising feature Of
he whole fair was the entertainment |
1rogram. The Goddard seminary glee
.lnb sang and sang and finally was
'orced to refuse to acknowledge any
more encores Tia Esner gave solo
lance and was also called upon to re-
,eat. A violin solo by Gertrude Nicols
vas followed by song. by Mrs. Hol-
len and both went over big Mary Az
en- then played the piano and the
rowd relished the treat so much that
he, as well as the rest, was called
pon to duplicate. Harry Lauder, once
inimitable, would have torn
is hair and gnashed his teeth from
heer jealousy if he could have seen
he next number. John Booth gave az
erfcct an imitation of the famous
coteh laugh maker as one would see
n big-time vaudeville. Then Miss
,sner danced and sang again and the
lee club closed the program with an
ther batch Of songs and encores.
Mrs. William Lille was chairman OF ,
he entertainment committee and she
as ably assisted by Mrs. James
wen. The success Of the fair was so
reat it surpassed the hopes Of every
Idy in the church and ii wasn't until ,
iey were vending their way home
apply last night Mat they com /.
fenced to realize il.
