'Such style and such diamondsr' remarked an
humble-appearing little woman in the chapel
of the First Presbyterian Church yesterday
afternoon. And she might with propriety have
added such booths, such flowers, such candy,
such tea, such cake and such cream; in fact
everything was such" pertaining to the bazaar
and sale Of fancy work in aid of the Newsboys'
Home that was held yesterday afternoon and
last evening, even to the crowds thar attended.
The chapel was place of enchantment, with
the blending of colors that draped the booths.
the perfume of the profusion of flowers, the
moving TO and fro of the beautifully costumed
ladies, and the fitting hither and thither of the
distractingly pretty little misses in their gowns
of spotless purity.
With view to beauty as well rs economy of
space were the booths erected and the rooms
apportioned for the different departments of
the brilliant bazaar. A canopy-topped circular
booth, exquisitely draped in pale rose color oc-
cupied the center of the room. On it were
found the most tantalizngly pretty nothings of
lace and ribbon that MAKE lady's boudoir the
daintiest place in the world, and variety of
more substantial but none the less pretty arti-
cles that add greatly to the comfort and ele-
gance OF sleeping room, library, dining room OF
parlor. Directly opposite was booth of smaller
dimensions devoted to the same bewitchlng
merchandise. effectively exhibited on its
foundation of white and gold. OF anarchistic
appearance and propensties was the toy booth,

most aggravatingly suggestive flutes, whistles
and drums, hammers. steam cars and steam
boats; in fact, everything calculated to produce
noise and confusion was there to be found.

and abundance of white roses. was
happy antidote to the vivid red of the toy
booth. Its formation and decorations were OF
the prettest, and the fish It's depths surren-
dered were more real than many reported
caught By expert fishermen during the camp
1ng-out season. The candy booth was radiant
in lavender and gold drapiDgs, and contained
enough concentrated sweetness both In wares
and attendants, to cause prolonged uneasinesS
to any number OF visitors.
Four booths formed an unbroken line in the
rear of the chapel. and the colors comprised in
their draping. pale green, delicate pink, sky
blue and huttercup yellow, were very harmonl-
Gus in tleir familiarity. From the pink booth
lemonade was labeled out in handsome punch
bowls. The golden booth enshrined the entire
doll family. The pale blue and delicate green
were ladened with exquisite china. pictures
and other expensive bric-a-brac.
The handsomest booth in the room was the
one devoted to the sale of flowers. 1t was
beautifully arched affair of fancy design, ele-
giant hedgewOod vases filled with luxuriant trop-
ical plants fanking it on either side, and per-
draped tables of white Its position was be-
tween the chapel and the pulpit alcove. which,
Tor the evening, was converted into the tea
room, and by the use Of an abundance OF golden
material and numerous Japanese umbrellas
made place of wonderful beauty. The steam-
ing tea and the delicious waters invoked socia-
billty and that was invariable to those who en-
tered the fairy realm. The Bible classroom,
where the bread of life Is usually dispensed,
was utilized for the dispensation of cake as
change and the accompanying cream. The
