"YE OLDE PLYM-
OUTH FAIR ALSO
VAS MODERN
Under the Skillful Handling BY La
dies Of the Macca-
bees

! The 500 who went to Quarry bahE
hall last night came away fully con
WINGED that the Maccabees know how
to do things up right. "Ye Ode plym
outh fair" was what the Maccabees
! called the affair but the big crowd thai
attended claimed zone rafting hnt
time far more appropriate. Even tht
most casual glance into the hall was
all that was needed to learn what an
enormous amount of work had been
put into the fair by the ladies and the
continuous peal of merry laughter, the
hum of many voices and the speed
with which the displays on the various
tables disappeared showed that tney
were rewarded for their efforts.
Approaching the hall the first OF the
broad smilers who greeted one were
Mrs. Florence Veale and Mrs. Abbie
Caron, presiding over the ticket office.
Then. inside the hall one came first to
the refreshment table. Mrs. Lottie
Murray and Mrs. Elizabeth Given were
kept busy here all evening. Next came
the domestic table and it was nothing
that the plebian name indicated. In
stead Of being homely and domestic
this table was little short Of beautiful
Decorated with green and white crepe
paper interviewer and the whole wound
tastefully about the supports, She ta-
BILE was laden with the royalty OF pas
trydem. Few there were in the hall
who withstood the temptations Of the
so-caIled domestic table. Mrs. Ella
Favor, Mrs. May Allen and Mrs. Lima
Curtis had charge Of the delicacies.
Then came another vision, the apron
booth This booth represented more
plainly the enormous amount of work
put into the affair by the ladies. A
par with myriads Of biood-red peoples
themselves about it covered
the front Of the table and the piles of
pretty aprons started to disappear the
minute the fair opened. Everyone of
the poppies was made by the ladies, The
ladies who had charge of serving out
these greatest OF housewives friends
were Mrs. Mildred Duncan, Mrs. Annie
Gerard and Mrs. Margaret McDon
aid.
Next one came TO the combined
candy and fancy work table. The com
of these two was very we'll
as both exhibits contained the
daintiest things imaginable. The table
was decorated with an arch of orange
and yellow frilled crepe paper dotted
with chrysanthemums. Mrs. Hettie lil-
lie and Mrs. Ada Dale were in charge
Df the candy and il goes without say
ing ihey had mighty little time on
heir hands while the stock lasted.
Mrs. Agnes Morgan and Mrs. Harriet
Williams had charge of the disposition
II the gems of needleWork.
Next one came TO the tinware dis
,lay and thd crowd showed mighty
rood commonsense and Judgment by
'airly swamping Mrs. Margaret Jelly |
nan and James Murray, who had |
.harge. There wasn't much tinware 10 |
,e removed from the hall by the ladies
when the last note Of the last dance |
number had died away and the crowd |
lad left. Then one came upon the wig /
yam of the inevitable fortIne-tsiler /
'irs. Forrest Chaples had all she could /
ttend to telling the crowd its names
nd communing with the fates. Then,
ast but not least by long way, was
he fountain of youth. The mysterians
iquid Of vigor. vim and viyaeity was
ispensed to the many by Mrs. Mar
aret Smith and Mrs. Frances Simms.
The hall was decorated. with stream
rs OF purple crepe and every one of
he ladies wore Pilgrim bonnet. Sus-
ended from the ceiling in the center
I the hall was replica of the May
over and the music of CAROLS or
hestra, TO which the crowd danced
rom 2 o'clock to midnight, ioated out
reen, at the south end. w. r. Cam
ron. dressed as Santa Claus, went
bout the hall keeping the kiddies in
,stasies all during the evening.
The big time opened with a splendid
lusical program at O'Clock Mrs. vii ,
