The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-04-01
Third Night of the Grand Bazanr-Greaf
and Deserved Success.

All the graces and all the virtues seem COM
bined to make this prsiseworthy enterprise sue
cess. On visiting Blafer's Buildings last evening,
we found the attendance larger than ever. and
what was still better, there was manifest willing
ness and desire to pstronze the various tables.
This is ss It should be- for there is no one Of our
charitable institutions more deserving, and We
grieve TO say more needing, public aid, than st.
vincent's Orphan Asylum. We do not propose to
sermonize or attempt any prossic remonstrance
or sapient suggestion to our generous public, but
will simply quote the words Of One whose most
glorious epoch we now celebrate. Suffer, little
children, to come unto me-" No more touching
appeal In behalf of this good work, to which our
noble Southern women have devoted themselves
SO unremittingly, could be employed. With it we
rest the case, and pass TO our continuation Of the
description of the fair itself.
The first table one reaches in the apartment to
the right of the entrance is that presided over by
Nine. Gagnet and Mrs. Bartlett Here may be
bought at reasonable prices, confectionery OF all
Sorts and from the fair hands of Miss Alphonsine
Gsgnet and Miss lie Mounier may be obtained eau
de Uie Of rarest favor and bon bons delicate and
fresh. Quite q feature connected with the table is
the coda fountain superintended by Miss D'Aquin.
To the thirsty OF temperate proclivities we CON-
mend this institution, and remark, parenthetcally,
that the price per glass is the insignificant and in
fntismal fractional amount of ten cents. Next,
right near the door, stands the table of Mrs. M.
Finch, ,envelopedin heecy cloud OF tulle and mus
lin decorations. Tasteful and pretty II looks, and
by the crowds around it, one must infer its sttrac

Oath and Drawing Rations," The Village

also are for rattle. Adjoining the table OF
Mrs Finch is that of Mrs. Boudousquie. This
table Is no less elegantly decorated than
the others, and at 1t may be found most de-
licious punch. ice cream and other refreshments.
We pass next to the table In charge OF Mrs. N. D.
Brady and Mrs. Kirchof. We find here displayed
numerous articles ft both for use and ornament.
Young married people can here find sundry ar
ticles which we suppose would be IN their line.
