The Fish Supper which the Methodist Ladies Aid held on Wednesday afternoon a the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Patten, proved to be quite unique. The afternoon although very warm, promised to be favorable. The men had placed the stoves on the banks of the Choptank. The fish were frying, tables set, and odors were sharpening appetites, when the first appearances of a cloud were seen. Promptly at five o'clock supper was served to the first table full, who did full justice to delicious fish just off the pan, sliced ham, deviled eggs, potato salad, pickles, hot cornbread, rolls, biscuit, ice tea and hot coffee. Ice cream was also for sale. The second table was not so lucky. The shower came and they were forced to seek shelter in automobiles and porches, but they carried their plates, and completed the meal even under difficulties. The ladies not to be daunted, spread a dry tablecloth, and reset the table and served again, only to be greeted with a second shower. This was the climax. The ladies made expenses, and a small profit, but had the showers held off an hour longer the supper would have been in every way a success. There is a whisper that it may be tried again later in the summer.
