There was another enthusiastic meeting
held in the hall OF the House Of Delegates
at the State House yesterday afternoon in
the interests Of the Woman's Union Be.
nevolent Society. Mrs. A. W. Kelly pre-.
sided and the meeting was noticeable for
the systematic way In which the business
was disposed OF. The date for holding the
Bazaar Of Nations was changed It will
commence Tuesday evening, November
Goth, and continue on the evenings OF the
2lst and 22d, and possibly will be confined
on the 2Sl. This change will allow the
ladies to rest on Saturday evening and no
risk will be run oi prolonging the festivities
over into Sunday as there would have been
possibly, had the original intention Of
holding the Bazaar for three evenings,
commencing Thursday evening been ad-
hered to. ~ ~
The list Of booths and those having
charge Of them was also thoroughly revised,
and the following Is the only correct list
that has yet been published.
England and Scotland-Mesdame W.
W. Arnett and S. o. Taylor.
Ittlhuu-h1lna l4Uu putIus
China and Japan-Mrs. DIR. Stout.
Turkey-Ms. J. V. L. Rodgers.
Russia-Mrs. Waddell.
switzerland-MB. P. B. Dobbins.

Julia Gouldman.
Spain-Mrs N. B. Scott.
France-Miss Birdie Bell.
Judea-MrB. Col. White. $50
Gypsy Camp-Mrs. 7. o. Edwards.
In connection with the American booth,
which will be the largest one, there will be
an Indian wlgwam, and Judea will have
its Rebecca at the well, OF course. The Ia.
dies who have charge OF thee booths will
call TO their assistance other ladies and gen.
tlemen, and as Il is all for sweet charity's
sake no one is expected to refuse to serve.
In addition to the entertainment being
bszlar, it is proposed 10 have 1t largely par.
take Of the nature OF q fancy dress promen-
ade concert. That is, the occupants
Of the booths it is desired, shall
dress to represent noted characters
OF the country they represent, some.
thing like the Martha Washington tea
party given In 1875 at the Opera Houss for
the benefit OF the Children's Home. II
this plan Is carried out 1t cannot fail to
prove attractive. At these booths there
will be sold articles peculiar to the country.
AS for instance, fancy bonbons at France,
tea at China and Japan with the visitor
being allowed to retain the cup and saucer
as souvenir, etc. The general committee
also decided yesterday to allow the booths
10 procure goods and sell them on COM
mission.
It is believed that the opening OF the Ba.
zaar will in itself prove a sufficient attrac.
tion for the first night. Wednes.
day evening there will be a vo.
cal concert and on Thursday evening
ian or broom drill. There will be an or
chestra present each evening to furnish
music for the promenaders and the pleas.
ure and enjoyment Of people generally.
The refreshment room will be in charge OF
Mira. W.. F Butler, and Mrs. Henry
Brues will look after the supper
tables. The supper will consist OF
oysters, salads and coffee. Each
lady will be allowed to decorate her booth
as she may desire. Miss Nina Shriver has
been appointed chairman OF 1.-The hall deco
rations. 1t is expected that the booths
will be ready for the ladies 10 commence
decorating two weeks before the date set
for the Bsz var. Everything points to the
Baziar being q big success and the ladies'
are quite elated over the prospects. l.l.l
