Delightful Banquet
Old South Church

At the Old South ~church last
night the Mems Satisfying sup
per was an unqualified success. Over
two hundred were served. The din
ing tables were gay. with patriotic
decorations and red, white and blue
candles. The room was most ap-
propriately decorated. The big ceA-
trail window had a large flag and
smaller crossed flags enclosing a
portrait of Lincoln. This picture,
a valuable steel charging, was loan
ed by Mrs. Ben ~Tenney. Flags
adorned all the other windows. The
walters had most effective patriotic
caps. The menu was meat pie,
mashed potatoes, green peas, rolls,
salad, coffee, cake, ice cream and
heart-shaped cookies. The arrange
ments were most businesslike and
efficient. The men have every rea-
son to be proud of the way they
handle the crowds that flock to their
suppers.
