Fair Last Night.

South Broadway, and there has not
been more interesting event there for
q long time than the fair for the benefit
of the Sisters Orphan school of Boyle
Heights, which began last night and
will last all the week.
The school is noble one in it's pur-
poses, and under the management of
the intelligent and gentle Sisters is
quietly filling broad field of useful
ness, 1t is in magnificent location on
the bluffs, and the massive edif1ce and
handsome grounds are greatly admired,
not alone by our own citizens, but by
visitors to the city.
Any fair held for the benefit of this in
stitution attracts attention, and this
one should especially do go, that the
debt upon the institution may be re-
duced and it's financial status strength
ened.
Much interest has been manifested by
the ladies of the church in preparations
for the fair. When the the doors were
thrown open last night, the stately hall
was pretty sight. Handsomely deco
rated booths of all descriptions lined the
walls, and a graceful flower booth occu-
pied the center of the hall, which was
bower of roses.
Excellent taste has been displayed in
the decorations of the booths, from the
mysterious museum" in the northeast
corner, where Mrs. Stephen M. White
and bevy of fair assistants are ready to
perform the sacred rites of curious and
fascinating initiation into the society OF
the Black Dwarf. to the 'Tombola"
booth, with it's pretty articles OF vertu,
and over the destinies of which Mrs. j..
F, Forster preeides with rare grace, as
sisted by several handsome ladies.
There is much variety in the designs
of the different booths. The 'postofice''
has a coquettish appearance. festooned
with feathery evergreens and pointed
palms, as if it said to those seeking
dainty missives to beware.
There is quite Japanese look to the
ice cream booth. fanked as it is with
low hedge of cane. The number OF the
cosy corners for the purveying of wares
of all kinds, from slippers to toothsome
candy and more solid refreshments is
quite bewildering, and the fair is quite
a model affair.
