tainment

| tainment
The Experience Social, presented
in the public hall of this town on
Thursday evening last, by the ladies
of the Aid Society, in every way met
the expection of the large audience
that filled the hall.
The various parts, wherein each
lady of the Aid Society told how she
earned her dollar that was contribut-
ed to the Society, were in rhyme,
the telling OF the EXPERIENCES proving
interesting and amusing. IS
The, ladies were in costumes of
by-gone days and style. George and
Martha Washington were present on
che stage, being impersonated by
Mrs. Fl. L. Shepherd and Mrs. H. b.
Patten. The dollars were collected
by little pages, presented to Martha
and George, who in turn gave them
to pages to be pinned on the wings at
the side of the stage, so as to form
hatchets, which novel little conceit
not only contributed to the artistic
stage, decorations but also added
greatly to their value, there being
over forty of the greenbacks pinned
up.
The program was interspersed
with music, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs.
Harold singing in beautiful style,
duets, and Mrs. Alice Pugh, of Ok
ford, solos, Mrs. Pugh has remark
able control of her voice despite her
eighty years, which seem to sit light
Iy upon her.
West Nottingham Academy Or
,hestra also contributed to the musi-
cal program.
The gross receipts were about
$12O.
The entertainment was under the
direction of Mrs. A. M. McNamee.
whose ingenuity contributed greatly
to it's success.
Not content with giving good
entertainment, at its conclusion the
aides served each person in the aud
ience with a piece OF excellent home
made pie.
