The Masonic bazaar was In ITSELF SUN
J Gent TO make the week a notable one'
in a social sense, but there we're many
other pleasurable affairs crowded into
/ the last six days. Society is making
the most oft opportunities in the few
DAYS remaining before the Lenten
season begins, and many other inter
estipg events win be given before Ash
wednesday. Cupid figured prominent
lyin the social functions Of the week,
some Of the most pleasing gatherings
being nuptial celebrations.

The bazaar is now a memory, but It
will be many days before 10 ceases 20
10 be a topic for conversation. IL was
signal success, whether looked upon
from social or financial standpoint,
and most OF the credit is due 70 the
untiring zeal and energy OF the ladies'
in charge. It was they who conceived
the idea of q miniature Midway P'al-
sance. and with infinite tact and rare
taste. looked after the details OF what
will long remain q criterion in affairs or
ftsnature. Church festivals are always

average person, and only TO be to.er-
atad because OF the flavor OF charity
attached. The Masonic bazaar, on the
contrary presented features which
would attract patronage, independent
Of the object for which TO was given.
It was entirely original. The ar
ranQement Of the booths gave evidence
of cultured taste, and considerable In
genultY. The Irish Village was per-
haos the best example, and IL was the
most prominent and most popular place
I'm the hall. The restaurants were
also limitations OF the Worlds Fair
cafes. both with reference 10 the names
which they bore, aud their arrange
ment.
a feature Of the bazaar which was
frequently commented upon, and
espsciallv bv the masculine patrons,
was the number OF pretty girls assisting
a. the booths and in the cafes. Ihelr
natural charmes were enhanced by
their costumes. whether they were the
conventional fuii dress OF society, or the
unioue patterns and bright colors or
the Orlentals. Tn fact one Of the big
gest drawing cards was the ladies'. they
we're simply Irresistible, aud the com
mittes showed excellent judgement In
making its selections
There was such a multiplicity or
interesting ieatures-fthe music, the
concerts, the mock court, the gypsy
ent, the Masonic<Spat, the smoking
.p7e ots, the I6ncy and conventional
tick Of space for6ids ex-
a-su Ooument, suffice il 70 say that
nere was not g syllable or dissatisiac-
ton expressed, and every visitor as well
as everybody connected with the
bazaar, was we'll pleased.
