Their services were LILLIPMT!AN WEDDING. The attraction of Wednesd ,evening was the Lillipuitiorn we ding, which was such a deecid -success there was a general a -queet for it to be repeated. Ti lovely feature, which was t -source of so much enjoynment to a -and especially to the bright liti folks taking part in it, was gott -up by Misses Eloise Elliott a' abel Pixiey, whose names a 's n s for something attrs JMrs. 5.

Master H Washington never grow old with American people and the true I representation made of them by Mr. Chas. Stevenson and Miss F ,armiter will only serve to keep alive in the memory of coming generations their lordly and queenly deeds. The present too was not forgotten and two of the men most in the public eye were so represented, Mr. W. W. Dixon taking off the senior sena tor from South Carolina with his pitchfork, while the part of the nation's chief was taken by Mr. Longstreet Gantt. This attraction which proved so enjoyable and which repre sented such hard work was man aged )v Miss Carrie Elliott, who showed great skill in carrying it through in all its details. It was a real treat and she is deserving of great praise for favoring the people of Winnsboro with such an interesting production. THE CAKE WALK. The great attraction Friday evening was the cake walk, which had been especially arranged for by Mrs. DesPortes. When the sale of tickets for this great pro cession was over, there were formed in a large circle about a hundred men, women and chil dren, each one of whom was buoyant with the hope of winning one of the three lovely cakes that were to be awarded, These cakes were to go to the three fortunate ones having the flags when the eake walk should be called to a halt. These three flags were given to the three lieutenauts within the eircle, who kept ther passing up and down the line. After ten minutes of marching the music ceased. The flgs were then in the h ands of Mefssrs. C. W. MeCauts, Fay DesPortes and Arnold Pixley, who claimed the prizes that had been won. And thus was ended a most en joyable feature of the Kirmess. JAPANESE BOOTH. There could be no Japanese bootih with'gut lots of brilliant display and baautifui oanamenta tions. These essentials to a true representation of the Japs was fully met in the Japanese booth, which elicited much praise. This booth occupied a prominent place and was enough larger than the other booths to make it attract special attention. But there was quality as well as quantity and 1!1is was the feature that counted Tor ;ogz i nakigg this such a -cntre of ati~ctfio 4. p this booth was -n octagon, tl4e I roof being of the sam6 shape. All the fram~e work was most fit-} tingly c!overed in the Japaness 1 colors of red and whito. Here and there were all kinds of Jap-i anese ornaments in the way of !auterns, parasols, fans and im-a j>rted ware, all of which went to] make it yerf aptraci'zo ad bil iant. These wei'e gli '4014 4t reasonable prca ancJ buyers were plentiful. There were a.lso the I Japanese dags andi in the2 bok~i ground was a lovely piece of r'eal Japanese tapestry, kindly loaned, by Mrs. Heyward. The ladies1 who carried out this beautiful t dsrnso charmingly were Mes-c M.W.I -t. 1es i~ iT4rQst beautiful c'ostumes Misses Nannier Neil, Mollie Smith and Rebbeccai Waker went about the ball add inig good cheer by their pleasing manns rs. sWIsS BOOTH. There is a reai stern; in sim-1' plicify, especially when the efect produced is all that could be de-a sired. This f. ature was a marked characteristic of the Swiss booth. v There was nothing elaborate about ~ it *n. n special effort at orna- E i:enlatiOrg thogngh the effect pro- t ducd was o:ne of Omf~ort acd s happiness. The frame work~ wa the simple outline of -a little cot-a tgo without any walls. The roof 1: was of pink~ grd a.rou4nd the c framework wats the grape vines,v which are always associated with 3 the typical Sw~iss cottage. In aJ most simnple hlomelike manner f, this lovely litle home was pre- i: sided over by Mrs. T. H. Ketchin l1 and Miss Maggo Elder. Two a ~Gang midens, Misses Winnie e Mc~~aster av ~ Iab Gooding, 1 dresed in sim~ple suggestive Swiss costumes, by their winninga ma;nners aiddedl n.uch towards mkirg ti s a complete represen- t tai on of that happiness that comesP from the lhome life of these p'a'' l' igcoss the wat .rs. A re marhaio tis~ shout this booth wa tht the~re was actualysom~e=' tigfree in it, some delightful Sischeese. This doesn't mean to sytht there no were tovs and othar~ ornaments for sale. ~TheyI were there, and they sold too re~cA icoOTH.I about six feet long, tack them to a little table, then join them at the top by means of still shorter strips and there is nothing espe cially attractive about that. You may even decorate this frame work with beautiful paper of pink and blue and then add green and other ornaments, and you only have a booth, showing the skillful touch of a woman's hand. Place upon this table delightful home made candy . that would make even Huyler wonder, if he is still holding his own in the making of tempting chocolates and bon-bons, and there is lacking still the hands that made these delicious delicacies. But when two young ladies, who know the charms of entertaining as well as the secret of making candy that goes like bot cake, take their places behind I the table, the picture becomes one of real life and there is an adver tisement that even printer'g ink acknowledges the superiority of. The French booth, under the charge of Misses Mamie Jordan aud Mary Y. Ellison, if not the most elaborate, was certainly one f the most attractive, No hap pier selection for this sweet booth ould have been made. A beau tiful Confederate flag in the back ground added much to their deco. rations. M3NEBY. The needle has long been the ource of pleasant pastime to woman, whether it be the old knitting needle that was so largely n vogue before machines came ipto $o large use, or the needle with which she has had to do the nousand and one little stitches ibout the home, or the crochet needle with which she has pro Siuced works of ornamentation ror every room in the house from 'he kitchen to the parlor, from the cellar to the garret. There is no collection that is ever pret ier than one made up of the various odds and ends that woman as wrought with the needle. A lisplay of fancy hand-made work Z one that always intprasts 4nd rom the haantifii pollections of hese various little articles that were on exhibition in the nunnery, ne would be easily persuaded hat the women of Winnsboro easily excel in this respect.
