THE OCCIDENTAL MEETING

The handsome building which has
been erected by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union on the corner of Fort
and Temple streets, was thrown open to
the public last night by rainbow bazaar,
although the formal dedication and open
ing will not take place until the end OF
next week. The structure is a very
handsome one and has cost $45 500 for
construction, the lot being gift to the
Union from the Order of Good Templars.
1t contains thirty five rooms, two
of which are retained for the
Offices of the Union, a hall and lodge
room also being kept by the members.
The other rooms are to be rented out for
offices or apartments, and are now ready
for occupation.
There was very fair attendance last
night, and, as an excellent programme
had been arranged for the evenings en-
tertainment, it is safe to say that no one
went away dissatisfied. The proceed
ings opened with music by the
Y. NJ. G. A. orchestra, after
which a number of children, dane
ing around a Maypole, illustrated the
weaving of the rainbow" Miss Rose
Harbin, in a recitation entitled, Gan
order for PICTURE" was next on the list
and displayed marked powers of elocu-
ton. Possessed of pretty face and a
remarkably sweet voice, she obtained
the careful attention of her auditors who
expressed their satisfaction at the close
of her performance by long and en-
thusastic applause. A vocal solo,
barbara Fitchie," by Mrs. Dunham,
was rendered excellently, and then the
talented Connor family gave one of their
charming orchestral selections. Miss
Julia Crawford in a powerful recitation
from Miles Standish was next, and then
Mr.. Connor played "My Marguerite" on
the saxophone in manner that secured
for him double round of encores. A
tableau brought the stage entertainment
to an end, and then the visitors were left
free to inspect the handsome booths and
their pretty inmates.
The stands were arranged according to
the colors of rainbow, and were decor
ateted appropriately to their names, their
keepers being also costumed in matching
colors. The Violet booth was presided
over by Miss Stag and Miss White
horn; the Indigo by the Misses Potts;
the Blue by Mrs. Garbutt; the Green
by the Misses Yarnell, Mrs. Leslie,
Miss Fitch, Miss Crew and Miss An
thony, aided by Messrs. Chas. Leslie,
Geo. Dubois, w. Shafner, w. F. Mont.

the different stands saleable articles,

especial attraction for the visitor as it
displays an European bric-a-brac collec-
ton, kindly lent for the occasion by Mrs.
Camelia Keyes. Mrs. Laura Carter is in
charge of the arrangements, and the
selection is wise one for everything
runs as smoothly as possible. A25 cent
