The table of fancy articles, presided over by Mdes. J. C. Hemingray, Geo. A. Black, and J. Woodard, was neatly arranged and drew about it a large number of customers. Last, but not least, the floral conservatory of the Misses Sholes, arranged in the center of the hall in arches of evergreen, was beautiful, and was a credit to the tastes of the young ladies who arranged it. To-day the ladies will keep their refreshment tables spread and will furnish a splendid lunch to all between the hours of twelve and two. The admission will be free to all, and the lunch will cost fifty cents.
