Time.
The French fair, OF st. Louis parish
opened last night under the most favorable
auspices. The attendance was large, the
fete perfect in all appointments, and the visit
ors were both surprised and pleased with
the dazzling effect of the exhibi-
ton. At an early hour visitors
found their way to the bazaar.
One within the door, a panorama of gayety
and kaleidoscope commingling of colors
in harmony we're revealed. Music hall had
been decorated in holiday attire; the tables
cleaned with articles of beauty, varying
from the pretty to the beautiful. Not the
least attractive feature of the revelation,
from the opening door, was the vivacity and
animation of the ladies who participated
in the festivities. On entering the right
"the wheel of fortune was busily turning.
under the manipulation of Messrs Ber-
thiaume and Neveux. A pyramidal fruit
table with bright display of fruits and
CONNECTIONS next attracted attention. Misses
Chanson, Dufrene, Demeules and Capistran
sweetened the dainties by handling them.
and took the dimes in exchange.
Next, the prize table was in charge of Mrs.
Lefebre and Mrs. Bottineau. This display
consisted of all manner of little articles of
needle work, beautiful embroideries, mats,
and other glittering generalities, all arranged
with artistic taste. An investment of rs
cents brought certain return, common
surate with the money expended.
The fancy table, superintended by Mrs.
Alfred Dufrene and Mrs. John Bresett was
worthy long and careful inspection. The
useful and the beautiful were blended, and
the whole made an attractive picture. Here
very handsome ring, garnet set with pearls
was exhibited, the same to be awarded by
vote to the most industrious young lady Of
the parish. Beauty will catch the votes, af-
ter all, and if combiued, why not.
Misses Gravel and Zenzius presided over
the fish pond. The GLOBE man baited hook
with nickle, and one of the fair anglers
can't be twisted into angels, the word
fshed out complete dinner set. So much
towards housekeeping. Near the fish pond
was the young ladies' fancy table. Misses
Gravel, Vervais, Berthiaume and Dufrene did
the honors here. Their table was in no way
eclipsed by the one presided over by the
matrons. This made the circuit of
the hall, taken with lingering steps, and
accompanied with many bump against
parties just as as unconscious with open
mouth admiration as the GLOBE.
Last but not least, the ladies had grand
supper spread in an adjoining room. Sweet
meats, oysters, coffee, dainties and substan-
tials could be had on demand Six tables
accommodated the guests, and at once their
wants were supplied by Mrs. St. Onge, Mrs.
Langevin, and the Misses Gauthier, Pro
venchier, Langevin and Cartier. The res
taurant was we'll patronized.
The evenings entertainment began with
"a Vision of Heaven" Just SO, though il
was tableau presented by six young ladies.
The curtain fell amid applause, and
rose again to present something de-
cidedly of this world. A little maid
Miss Cariveau was "Caught in the Acts
With smeared apron, she was detected with
her hand in the preserve jar; all the evil
dence was against her, and she couldn't dis
