BAZAAR And SUPPER.
A MOST SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR GIVEN AT THE
ARION LAST NIGHT.
An Immense Crowd Attends and Everything j:
Sold-List Of the Ladies
in Charge.

The success of the bazaar and supper
given at Arion Hall last night exceeded
the most sanguine expectations OF the
ladies of the congregation of st. James
German Lutheran Church, by whom it
was given. The hall was appropriately
decorated with flags and bunting for
the occasion, and it presented very
pleasing appearance. The booths were
tastefully draped and adorned, and the
ladies wore appropriate costumes. 1t
can safely be said that never was
larger crowd assembled in the hall
than that of last evening. Not
withstanding the fact that the
ladies had prepared for good
sized crowd, and supplied the tables
with an abundance of refreshments,
after eleven o'clock nothing could be Sc
cured.
Supper was served from five o'clock
until the supply of provisions became
exhausted, late in the evening. The bill
of fare was an elaborate one, embracing
all The delicacies Of the season. The
dining room was crowded from the mo-
ment OF opening the doors, and In the
hall leading to it was another large
crowd, patiently awaiting its turn. The
culinary department was in charge Of
Mrs. Vaas, Mrs. John Pracht, Jr., Mrs
Gibson, Mrs. Wooster, Mrs. Keim,
Misses Emma Straub, Callie Miller, and
Clara Steifel. The ladies who assisted
at the table were Misses Louisa Steifel,
Lille Arbenz, Louisa Siebke, Kate
Bayha, Mary Mahlke, Mrs. Uthman,
Misses Sophia Fendt, Lizzie Sedan, An
ME Miller, Louisa Miller, Louisa Thorn
as, Lille Pfafenbach, Title lisa, BERTHE
lisa. Minnie Stein, Mrs. VIM. Kreig,
Mrs. David Bayha, Misses Ricka Myer,
Amelia Ahl, Lizzie Gunner, and Rosa
Bayha.
To the right, upon entering the hall,
was uniquely arranged lemonade
booth, "Rebecca's WE'LL" with charm
ing blue canopy overhead. Behind the
railing Miss Lizzie Rehm dispensed the
refreshing drink to patrons.
The refreshment booth, well stocked
with cakes, sweetmeats and fruits, dis
played in appetizing array, occupied a
position upon the north side Of the hall.
Ice cream was served to hundreds of
patrons, and the young ladies were kept
busy. Misses Kate Bayha, Ida Carley,
| Lizzie Bayha, Augusta Klingenberger,
| Ida Rehm and Mamie Hoffman had
charge.
In the center of the hall was large
booth, one portion of which was de-
voted to the fancy department and the
other to the apron department.. The
ladies in charge were Misses
Emma Smith, Lizzie Schemp,
Louise Schenk, Amelia Guimar,
Maggie Miller, Mrs. Henry Weisgerber,
Amelia Helm, Julia Heftly, Cora Heftly
and Barbara Schemp. The booth con-
tanned many dainty pieces of bric-a-
brac, and ornamental articles Of every
description in profusion. The sales
were brisk throughout the evening.
A novel feature OF the affair was the
orange tree where that delicious and
healthful fruit was offered for sale.
Katie Smith, Nellie Kreuter, Clara
Bayha and Mary Klein were the misses
I'm charge. At the doll table was shown
an endless variety OF wax, bisque, rub
Der and china babies in every conceiv'
able shape and size, and dressed to
please the most fastidious buyer. Those
| is charge were Mrs. Hedges, Mrs. VIM.
Bayha and Misses Carrie Helmbrecht,
Olga Miller and Flora Ziegler.
Many of the persons who attended
secured seats in the gallery, and thus
viewed the busy and cheerful scenes
below-the moving panorama OF beau
tifully attired women, and pretty girls
in bright and becoming costumes-to
the best advantage. During the even
ing the Premier Banjo club played a
number of selections in an admirable
manner, and Miss Rena House won the
applause of the crowd in her rendition
of several difficult recitations.
