The Women Entertain Thn Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church gave a delineati in of bow they i!o business in the town hall on Friday evening last as popularly conceived by the degenerate male inind. As a bur- lecjue it waa a l,i, r success and some of the ladies demonstrated their entire fit- ness to earn their "keep" on the stage a.s comedians. There was a large audience present to enjoy the fun. The piny waa a Ladies Aid meeting of the past century and the absurd costumes were quite in keeping with the date. Una lady was dressed in solidiers uniform from bow to amid ship and she was a suffragette who could think of nothing else. The hos'ess assisted another lady troubled with "uar- ves" in taking off her wraps, including seven coats. Siill another was so bound up in home ties that ahe was talking all the time about what her husband said. The long-suffering president bad much difficulty in holding the meeting down to a discussion of the subject such as into how many pieces a pie should be cut, and other equally nonsensical topics. As a farce the whole thing was well put on. To prevent monotony Messrs. Holland, Murray, vVilcock aud Sullivan rendered a couple of quartets and Miss Irene Wil- son sang very sweetly one of the o'.d, old favorites, "When you and I were young, Maggie." Miss Florence Bunt gave a re-citation dealiug with wht the Lidies Aid could do. After the entertainment an excellent flash light was taken of the group of female loveliness and everybody adjourned to iheir home* in a happy mood. The proceeds amounted to about $47. watch from an upstairs room. , T . . h _j ; 2nd N ice-Pres., Mrs. Jos.
