 gram Tonight.
 Ths midwinter festival given by the Children of Mary in Sacred Heart parish is already success. The attendance at the entertainments Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening has satis- fed the managers. Banquet hall looks very pretty with the tsstily arranged booths on both sides of the hall. At the lower end is erected very pretty stage, upon which the evenings entertainment Is produced. At the right side of the stage is the gypsy booth, where you can be told that you will be heir to million by simply paying ten cents. On the other side is the art gallery, with beautiful pictures and etchings of the worlds. famous paintings. Next to the art gallery Is the taxidermist exhibit by A. H. Verrill of Orange street. It contains several beautiful groups of birds and animals. Next is an exhibit by 0. M. Loomis' Sons.
 "Rsbecca's Fountain" of lemonade Is the next booth. Here are several pretty young ladies willing to give you a very | I6II69QluR HlAEe OI loWOuhu0 TUT uy0 G0utb. On the other side next to the gypsy booth is the "Chocolaterie." Here some prettily attired waitresses dispense delightful ohoe olate and beef tea, which is becoming . very popular drink.
 The flower booth, the exhibit of B. Dick srman, is just above the "ChocolAteris.
 The principal booth is the school booth. This is about half way down the hall on the left hand side as you enter the hall. It is built of red cambric upon which white lines have been painted, giving 1t the ap- window in this wall gives the visitoi e glimpse of dainty young ladies selling coarse, red bricks. The buyer of . brick has the pleasure of donating it to the new parochial school which is now in course of erection and for which the festival is being held.
 The "fshing pond" is the most surpris- ing booth of all. Here several little ones under direction of Miss Barbara Kinney give the fishermen the most mystifying packages.
 At Saturday afternoons entertainment 800 children received presents from several Christmas trees. Saturday evening very large crowd was in attendance. The pro gram Saturday evening was very well rem dersd. Those who took part in the enter tainment received well merited applause. Of those who took part, however, special mention should bs made of Mrs. Louise Reilly Gallagher and Miss Ward, who sang . duet, Farewell"
