Exquisite Adornments Of the Fair
of the Home Of the
Homeless.

The fair arranged by the managers of
the Home for the Homeless opened In
Woods Hall last night. 1t will be open
every afternoon and evening until Satur-
day. and special attractions will be offer
ed to the patrons every evening. The
good ladies In charge Of the affair have
left nothing undone to make it one OF the
social events Of the season. Woods Hall
has seldom, If ever, looked better from a
decorative standpoint, The decorations
are not elaborate, but they are exquisite.
The ceiling is ~festooned with broad white
bands studded with golden stars. and the
frame work Of the long booths stretching
each side Of the hall, but separated into
various departments, is entwined with
soft fieecy materials of rainbow tints II
colors. And the tables, too, are splend-
idly stocked. Whether it be a fancy
booth OF a grocery store you stop at, you
will find everything on exhibition OF the
very best quality, and at prices that prove
the Mckinley bill has not yet become OPP
erative-at fairs.
The following estimable ladies are in
charge of the various departments.
Managers-Mrs. Joseph Bumsted, Mrs.
William Read, Mrs. Edward Van Wrinkle,
Mrs. II. I. Tappen and Mrs j. Annes
Toy-Mrs. Joseph A. Dear, Mrs. Waller
Dear, Miss G. Cummings, Misses 4. and
A. Hague and Miss A w. Fields. The
stock OF dolls in this department will at
tract much attention during the fair.
Confectionery-Misses Clara and Louise
Wilkinson, Miss Ellie Flaacke, Miss
Clara Dear, Miss Carrie Bristsr and Miss
Grace Durham. The assortment Of con-
~fectionery and other toothsome d~elicacies
in this department is one of the features
of the fair. Miss Clara Wilkinson D
Miss Durham are also in charge of the
flower stand. Adjoining the confectionery
booth is that Of the perfumery, in charge
of Miss Eva Williams. An examination
of the stock of this department reveals
the fact that all the various extracts
have been selected with great care, II
no inferior grades are to be found in the
department. While they are delicate
as extracts, they are strong enough to
extract the price of a pair OF bottles from
every visitor.
The Home Table, where nothing but
substantials are kept, Is in charge OF Mrs.
H. M. Dunning, Miss Carrie Sanders,
Miss Marie Payne and Miss NJ. Linde-
man.
The orange tree is another one of the
features OF the fair. 1t was so heavily
laden with oranges last night that it fell
with a crash from its own weight, but
was soon replanted. ToSeach range Is
attached a number, which draws a prize
numbered with corresponding figures.
The tree is a charge of Miss X. Simpson
and Miss NJ. A. Walker.
The most attractive booth in point of
artificial neutrality-suspicious., too, from a
standpoint of natural decoration, lis that
