BEAUTY AND BUSINESS.
THE ORPHANS FAIR AN UNQUALI-
FLED SUCCESS.
Scene of Pleasure and Proft-The
Booths and Their Occupants.

There was another large attendance
at the Orphans Fair last night, and the
interior of the new Armory hall pre-
scented an animated scene in which bus
mess and pleasure were so deity inter-
woven that the former was almost in
discernible to the average observer.
Yet in every direction the attaches of
the various booths we're working like
bees, and the man must indeed be stony
hearted who could not resist their wiles.
Nor were their efforts confied alone to
the sterner sex, for each was prepared also
to overcome all scruples by offering such
tempting bait as could not fail to win
the heart of the victim. Everything
that could possibly be imagined was for
sale or rattle, and resistance was useless.
The work of decorating the various
booths has been completed after hours
of patient toll, and each seemed to rival
it's neighbor in the neatness and taste
exhibited in its design. Lack of space
forbids individual mention of these
fairy-like arbors at this time, but the
following is complete list of the booths
