Methodist Church gave a most deVighfcfuJ entertainment at the parsonage on Thursday evening March 2l'st. It was a Curio Tea and the exhibition of curios and relics were both interesting and instructive and a great surprise to many who had no idea that such line collection could be gotten: together in so short a time. The ladies In the receiving line were in costume, represent big the different nations. Also the Colonial dames and belles" of the sixties. A splendid musi cal and literary programme was pre sented and musical selections given throughout the evening. ,The rooms were tastefully decorated In $mllnx and flQ)vers*? while many flags lent an air of patriotism to the scene. De licious refreshments were served free of charge but a silver offering taken at the do<fr and was generous and ? very gratifying to the numbers of, the .Society.

They certainly are enchanting, in all tlielr 'pristine freshness droped In the shop windows, or made Into adorable littl?? frocks and suits. Crepes, voiles, silk and cotton Jerseys, a veritable feast for the goods. A yard or two or palest ro$e organdie, a ruffle or so of net. a twist of baby blue ribbon and Miss Simplicity stands before you, charming to a degree. There's a dif ference in her simplicity this year from the studied, often overdone effect she achieved last year. Her skirts are really narrow, and the charming ef fect is really gained by?the material* "made In America".- There are so few imported goods in comparison with oth er years. There is one very noticeable thing about the modes of this year, and that is the way the Eton jacket is being featured. Suits, serge dresses, walk ing costumes and even lingerie frocks have this youthful little jacket, or the effect of one, which amounts to the same thing in the long run. One stun iii tig dress I saw the othVr day was of blue serge, that material almost impossible- to buy, with a short Eton jacket worn over a white satin blouse. The pockets on the skirt were lined with the satin. They were not patch pockets, merely slits, hut the peep of white was most fetching. Of course, tin- jacket was lined with the satin too. The one illustrated here has floating panels, front and hack, gather ed at the -waistline. Note the (Hid way the braid is put on. Indeed there is a great deal' of braid being used this year, Another dress I saw had qunint Insets of black satin In the blue serge waist, with Hercules braid woven over it in the way the children weave strips of colored paper at school. There are many attractive ways to make the collar and cuff set which adds, such a touch to the costume. One of the big stores here is featuring wide sailor collars and deep cuffs with huge black si>ots on them here and there. -The s]>ots are the size of silver dollars or larger, aud as you can easily understand, there are not more than . two or three to the col lar. Double collars of dainty organdie with their .matchless cuffs are the mak ing of the simple walking dress or suit. Spine of the dainty vests and vestees are interesting, for they plain ly show their oriental influence. Belts and girdles will be much featured this yea r. / _ S No -Servlcc Next Sunday.

Lit tle notice of the contest was given/, and tho platoons which should repre sent the different regiments wore Se lected only .festerday. In future. General Faison declared, no notice at all will be gircn, so that everyone must remain on tiptoe all the time if he wlshfcj his regiment to be tho l>est. Hay o net and obstacle work is taught by Captain George Batcholor, of tho British army, assiKtod by Sergt. Major Richards. Capt. Bache lor, who had l>eon couliued to the lios pital for the past few days wanted to be up and direct the contest yes terday. while Sergeant. Richards did most of the scoring. The exhibition moved without a hitch, and was well Worth watching, as it was quite spec tacular. The contests over both courses were by "waves" a certain number of men being' started oyer tin* course every few seconds. The standing of the platoo* was determined by the per centage of men finishing in a certain time and by the form of the men In getting over the course, .certain orrors taking off more or less from the total. In doing tho bayonet run, tho sol diers had to bayonet three rows of suspended dummies and one of dum mies lying -?>i|. tho ground. To the eye the performance was apparently easy, except when now and then some soldier in his zeal stuck his bayonet too far into the dummy and had to lug with might and main for several seconds to get it out again. As taught by their instructors, tho soldiers ut tered gutteral exclamation as they drove their sharp weajKins into the targets of wooden rods, and the com Wlnatinn of angry voices and bright steel made the scene almost realistic - ? The obstacle r??n was to- the eye much mort? difficult, and perhaps more spectacular, in spite of the ab sence of noise and of bare steel. " The contestants ran without equipment other than belts and bayonet cases. Beginning at ono end, they leaped a low hurdle and climbed a ladder, like arrangement, to be confronted by a series of timbers placed ' on posts ful ly 7 feet high, and running at sharp angles to each other. The only way to re;nh these was by running up a timber laid 011 one side and slightly flattened oil top to aid the footing, and the only 'way to get down was to jump. Few. however, bungled this apparently ticklish roadway, and none fell oil". Tlio contestants next faced a 'pajr of hurdles, so close together that it was impossible to get any run be tween. The first *wn* perhaps 3 feet bju-h iitid the s<kX>n?l 5. A few negoti ated them by jumping upon the first and thence to the second, but the ma jority preferred to "skin the cat" over both. N'ext came a broad leap over a shallow hole, with a little mud and water in the. bottom to make it inter esting. and finally an 8-foot wall made of small rough logs laid horizontally. Most "f the 'soldiers managed to grasp the top by a running leap, after . which it was an. easy matter to climb up by putting , one's shoos into the crocks j and to vault down on the other side.

S. C. platoon wore unit over the obstacle (.'0111*80 after the whole platoons had run it. The result, as it happened; left the standing of the regiment* un changed. The four men from the win ning platoon of the 120th covered the course in 23 1-2 .seconds, and tho four of the 118th were only a second slow er. As the course is exactly 100 yards long, and as it takes a very good run ner indeed to cover that distance on a cinder track in 11 seconds and un der, some idea of the performance yesterday caV be gained. ?
