PhiIathea Sale

The interior of the Baptist church
presented an attractive appearance
Thursday afternoon when the Mabel
=. Judkins Philathea class opened
for business at the annual sale of
that organization. The color scheme
for the entire decorations and booths
was in the Philathea colors, pale
blue and white. Every booth was n
decoration in itself and the result
was very dainty and artistic. A row
OF pcnnants lettered to spell Phila-
thea was a conspicuous feature of
the decorations so arranged as to
greet all who entered the room. y
very natural looking tulip bed was
arranged near the entrance of the
vestry under blue and white cano-.
Ply. Each plant bore at it's root q
number which drew a mystery pack
age. Those who sought to try their
luck here were served by Mrs. An
ME Cotton, Mrs. Victoria Roundy and
Mrs. J. c. Grant. The fancy and
useful articles were sold by Mrs. Ida
B. Whitman, Mrs. Effie L. Decker,
Mrs. Mabel f. Osborne, Mrs. f. F.
Stratton. AS usual a brisk business
was done at the apron booth, where
Mrs. A. W. Kimball, Mrs. Scott Nc
Nelly and Mrs. Nellie Tapley were
in charge. Mrs. Nellie Gordon, Mrs.
+. L. Beese and Mrs. r. E. Goodrich
offered a bewitching array of bags
which ranged in style from the dain-
test vanity case to the most sub
stantial sort of utility bag This
booth was a most facinating spot to
all visitors and many sales were
made.
Very tempting was the array Of
cooked food, canned fruit and vege-
tables which were displayed on the
table by Mrs. Susie McNelly, Mrs.
T. H. Ward, Mrs. w. NJ. Keene, Mrs
Alma Estey and Mrs. Guy Written.
Most delicious home made candies
