striking contrasts and harmonious combina-
tons as the crowd passed from table to table
around the room.
Below there were scores-surely more than
one score-of girls and young ladies, attractive
Of feature and most becomingly attired.
They had good things TO sell and sold them
bewitchingy-under the generalship Of less
ingly dressed matrons. In the evening the
crowd was denser, up stairs and down. The
handsome and not unduly expensive things TO
sell went off briskly and the ladies' were
kept constantly on the alert to supply custom
ers with what the latter fancied.
or the upstairs tables Queen Kapiolani's,
presided over by Mrs. Paul Neumann netted
the largest amount-over $500. Miss May
Burbank's floral temple netted the considerable
sum Of 500. And, below, the refreshment room
netted over $500.
In cash, Thursdays quota TO the fair re-
ceipts was SI743; and checks and l. o. U.s.
brought up the sum to over $4,000.
Perhaps the most picturesque feature Of the
evenings fun was Mrs. ]. ID. Strong's gypsy
fortune telling. Nothing could have been
more effective than that clever lady's dressing
of her part or more piquant than her palm
istry.
Last nights and this evenings entertain
ments will be noticed next week.
1t is worth mention that Queen Kapiolani-
for the first time in four years-tMr. Jim

her picture taken for benefit of the fair, to
which she added her autograph.
