Picturesque Effects.
THE BRILLIANT SCENES WHICH GREET THE VISITORS
TO THE HOMEOPATHIC PAIR.

The fair for the benefit or the Homeopathic
hospital at Marinis hall, Is very attractive place
TO visit, and each evening there is q large and
fashionable attendance. The arrangement OF the
booths In the hall and their rich hangfngs and
draperies give picturesque effects and the spectacle
presented 10 the visitor upon entering the bril-

center OF tie room are double rows OF seats and
there are cosy little corners with not too much but
just enough room, where the weary may rest and
look In upon the gay and animated scene. As there
is plenty OF room to move about and place to sit
down, it would seem that the managers had
achieved rare and happy distinction, but In add
ton TO these advantages no one Is asked 10 buy or
solicited TO take a chance. There are pretty g,irls
there; lots OF them, and in all sorts OF picturesque
and bewiuchlng costumes. But they are neither
highway robbers nor beggars. The fact OF the
matter is that the young ladies' are so charming
and the articles for sale so attractive and cheap,
that no further argument Is needed 10 attract pur
