The morning call., 1890-10-21

Prendergast, V. G., directed the workings
OF the bazaar and all arrangements alone,
and TO him is due lions share of the credit
for its success.
The booths are arranged around the walls,
leaving an open space large enough to ac-
c0mm0date about 5000 persons. As the build
ing Is IN the form of cross much more
room is occupied by booths n the transepts
than in other places. excepting the beautiful
pavilion Of Mrs james, O'Brien, with its
Surrounding gardens, all Of which fill the
chancel on the western end.
There was no presiding spirit in decorat-
ing, no prevailing style nor cOlOrS nor ar
rangement OF the whole, and yet the rare
taste OF the ladies harmonized so well that
an effect, which for artistic beauty IS
charming, was reached. Entering from Van
Ness avenue one cannot fail to be impressed
with the wealth of bright colorng as much
in the booths as in the decorations. Indeed,
an appearances at once attractive and invt-
ing is all predominant &.
Faint shades of pink blue yellow and
the more fantastic tints Of "old gold" terra
Gotta and pea green intermingle in delight
iul contrasts; and then there is the deep,
vivid grt en- OF the leaves and shrubbery re-
lieving these gayer combinations. There is
rich fragrance OF flowers from the floral
booths, and elsewhere suppressed odors of
perfumes the most delicate, where abound
fancy needlework articles in the booths.
AMONG THE BOOTHS.
The hall is surprise. 1t is lofty. roomy,
brightly lighted with gas ami quite richly
decorated, the mural ornamentatiOnS run
ming 10 frescoeS near the ceiling. A neutral
reddish brown of warm tinge covers the
walls, and lighter shade is on the ceiling.
The windows are all OF stained cathedral
glass, and the gdSoliers OF FURNISHED brass.
The floor measures 200 feet from end to end
and 100 feet across the transept. Deduct
ing from this comparatively small space
on each side for booths, there is ample room
left for the crowdi of visitors.
The larger number of the booths repre-
sent paris es, but mainly the credit of the
work Is due 10 some prominent Catholic ladies
who organized the bazaar and with the as
sstance OF ciIcleS of young lady friends
worked industriously for its success and
now these ladies have their own payilions
side by side with the others.
The first booth to the left of the entrance
| is styled the Sun Burst booth, just why
no one could tell, save indeed that its beau
tliul drapery was altogether green and that

decorations. Like all the others, it consists
of a neat apartment Its walls are draped
with pea-green material by an artistic hand;
its front has Gothic lock, three gabeS
arising side BY site, from whose base hangs
festoon of green gauze, caught up taste
fully in the right places. Curtains of the
same stdft hang down on either side.
