The spacious schoolrooms of our fashionable lladipole
district were most gaily trimmed on Thursday afternoon
for the bazaar, very modestly termed a'' Solo of
Work." Flags in great variety and tastefully arranged
decorated the walls, and at the end of one room was
the text in beautifully illuminated characters of large
size, " The God of Heaven, Ilc will prosper us • there-
fore we His servacts will arise and build ;." Nehemiah
ii, 20. This served to remind us that the effort Wall on
behalf of the enlargement fund, and certainly the
ladies had set to work in good earnest, if not exactly to

labour on • vast variety of beautiful things that would

stalls were well arranged, and the assembly of fair
ladies, using their most enchanting ways to procure

from which Mrs. Amyatt Brown and Miss Sterling
were all the evening separating "slice'' at fid each.
It was very prettily trimmed with wreaths of white
roses, stood on • pedestal, and turned on a pivot, and
part of the fun was to give it a spin round for luck,
when the fortunate purchasers inserted their hands and
drew all prizes and no blanks, in the shape of little
articles of various kinds, the gentlemen no doubt think•
ing that being able to patronise such a firm as the
fair shopkeepers was worth all the money. The rest
of the stalls were set out with a wonderful variety of
bazar artist/es, and at the risk of detailing what insy
seem like a trade catalogue let our friends leant that

must stop and say that here were very natural WAI
flowers, splendid sofa cushions with black tleut•de-lis
edged with white on crimson ground, costly Berlin wool
cushions, and other wool work ; Mr and Mrs Frampton '
showed handsome fender stool and sofa cushion worked
with roses that looked beautiful for ever, toilet artioles
of pretty design, • basket of wax fruit, in which
