| THE CHINATOWN CELEBRATION. The
North Church Guild were hostesses Tues
day afternoon and evening at fair, en-
tertainment and dance given in the Ar
mory under methods, dress and ideas
usually found in a cosmopolitan China
town, minus the underworld tone. The
hall was decorated professionally by Or
rim j. Dickey, who used bunting and
pennants Of oriental colors combined
with lanterns galore, Chinese sunshades
and few Stars and Stripes. The booths
offering oriental articles, cooked food,
confectionery, laundry, ETC., in the main
hall were also decorated with Chinese
colprs. while the Club room in which
chop suey was served and the check
room in which genuine Chinese curios
were exhibited were of special interest
and decidedly entertaining McKeen's
orchestra in costume played Chinese
mus sic for the parade of all who had
charge or assisted at the function
in costume This was picturesque
feature and very amusing one, as some
I of the DISCUSSES were SO real that efforts
were made by the audience to find out
who they were. 1t was Chinatown for
the major part with little attempt at the
| upper class or court circles of the orient.
| The entertainment consisted of an ap-
| propriate Chinese solo by Mrs Basil R.
| Allen; story relative to the underworld
element of Chinatown in San Francisco,
Calf, by Edward Brassey Briefly, who
also gave a recitation featuring the DIFF
ferent ways he had heard Tennyson's
Charge of the Light Brigade given. There
were two picturesque costume dances
| from the "Katcha -Koo" The dance that
closed the program was attended by a
large crowd, principally young people. It
was a financial as well as social success
but the committee in charge was unable
to give any definite estimate of the net
proceeds. 1t was reported that about
five hundred admission tickets were sold.
