Guild Serving Ice Cream

New York, 1895

News of Hollis.

Miss May Brayton is visiting Mrs. S. J. Davis.

St. Mary's guild will have ice cream for sale at the school house to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon and evening.

A subscription is being raised by the residents of Hollis for a large flag to be placed on the pole at the railroad station.

A strawberry festival and entertainment will be held by the ladies of St. Gabriel's guild at the residence of Mrs. W. S. Lapham, Thursday evening. Dancing will form a part of the program.

Rev. G. V. Gllrath, a former lay reader in St. Gabriel's church, was married to Miss J. Taylor, of Garden City, on Tuesday, in St. Ignatia's church, New York. We wish them a long and happy life.

A strawberry festival was given Wednesday evening by the King's daughters of the Methodist church, the net receipts being about $20. The following was the program rendered: Duet, the Misses Bottome & Taylor, of Jamaica; solo, Miss Edna Nagle; reading, Miss Taylor; solo, A. S. Plimpton.
