gress on the ground iioor OF the vast
building Mt No. 1875 Main street, will prob
ably prove TO be the most successful affair
Of the kind ever given in Memphis. The
idea originated in the fertile brain OF
prominent lady who, during a recent visit
TO New York, visited a bazaar Of that
description in the great metropolis, and
struck by its beauty, at once went TO work
TO arrange for similar exhibition
at home. Drawings were made of the
various booths and costumes neces-
sary for the successful reproduction here,
and great care was taken to omit no essential
detail. Armed with these suggestions the
lady referred to, on her return to Memphis,
submitted TO number Of prominent sister
members of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church her plans to give an international
National Bazaar in Memphis for the benefit
Of the church, and to invite the co-opera-
ton of the ladies Of Memphis. irrespective
OF denonlinational differences. The prop
osition met with general favor, and the
ladies Of all churches OF Memphis cordially
responded 10 the invitation TO assist
in making the enterprise success.
Architect Jones was intrusted with
the execution Of tho plans and to
his efforts assisted by the def hands and
artistic taste OF his fair CONDUCTORS the
magnificent result witnessed last night Is
chiefly due. An international Bazaar, rs its
name implies, is simply an orray of booths
designed to represent the colors and cos
TUNES OF the various nations on the globe.
al
United States, England, Scotland, Ireland,
Italy, Germany, France, Spain and Japan.
Bohemia, though rather n doubtful ma.
tionality, was represented, aud the State OF
Tennessee occupied a conspicuous place
near the entrance. Each boo,h was draped
in the colors OF tho Nation repre-
sented and the costumes were designed
with painslaking fidelity to the originals.
The arrangement OF cOlors was exquisite
and an unccasing delight TO the eye. The
floor was pcoplod with the lovelest of So
cicty's bellies, arrayed in the picturesque
costumes of other climes, and II was a re-
ircshing sight TO see, familiar beauties
sn ntchlng new grace from the wealth OF
color that made up their attire.
Tho entertainment opened with
u tableau composed Of somo fifty female
figures, grouped in the form Of a pyramid
and representing almost every nationality
under the sun. The effect was decidedly
happy and the large audience present WIS
enthusiastic in It's applause.
At signal from Mr.. Burke the tableau
gradually melted away, the iigurantes
leaving the stage and taking their places
at the various booths from which they had
been recruited. Then followed refresh
mcnis, served by hands that king might
barter his crown 10 win. For a moderate
compensation you could buy ice-cream and

haired beauty from the Faderland, or a
piquant peasant girl alive with the grace

eyed daughters OF Japan, with their hair
pulled back and their faces aglow with a
color and beauty unknown 10 Japan, were
on hand 20 make you forget the real, and
