OLD FASHIONED DINNERS
SERVED AT FINLEY HOME

AS a unique way TO raise some

ian church, Mrs. H. M. Finley and
Mrs. Fannie Gorrell gave an "old
fashioned" dinner at the home of
the former last Thursday evening,
at so cents per- Twelve invited

which was set with cloth and dishes.

J which had history, some of it of
/ the most ancient For instance,
three of the silver teaspoons used
were made from a shoe buckle be-
| longing to the grandfather of Mr.. III.
M. Finley's grandmother Think Of
! it, The antiquated forks used
caused much merriment, as they
were SO narrow that a person might
| almost as well try to eat with one
chopstick. In fact some of the guests
who were losing time in disposing of
the food, just laid aside their forks
and used their spoons. One lady to
| be in harmony with the spirit of the
| occasion drank out of her saucer,
and others picked up their pie and
ate it out of their hand in half
moons. The pie was dried apple
and had cover laid across the top in
strips, making little squares. Sugar
| bowl, gravy boat, salt cellars,
tureens, pickle holder and so on,
were unique, and each had it's his
tory. Included in the menu were
| big slices of ham, dishes of stewed
dried corn, mashed potatoes and
| gravy, smear case, kraut, stewed to-
matoes, and there were cucumber
! pickles. rolls, crackers, big jelly
cake with the icing decorated with
rows of candy red drops. And there
were peaches,--and sorghum, and

was a big variety in the eats how
ever, and they were so we'll cooked
and palatable that you could get a
good full meal, and not even see
half of the stuff that was on the
table.
The old fashioned dinner was
such success that Mrs. Finley and
Mrs. Gorrell filled table with
guests again on Friday evening, and
served similar meal. At the second
gathering some of the ladies add

City is located about 20 miles from
Johnstown, ion top of the Allegheny
mountains, $500 feet above sea lev
