I&saY many weeks,
WSH opened yester-

\ HS<W0 other four days
OF the affair are Ns successful from every
point Of view rs the opening day, tho
Masous and their Woodworking friends,
the ladies OF Wheeling, can take to
themselves the credit OF having scored q
SUCCESS in affairs OF this kind, not ap-
preached by anything the past has
furnished. -
Tho doors were formally opened at
noon yesterday and from that timo un-
til 2 o'clock lunch was served in tho
various cafes on the third floor OF the
building. The patronage accorded all
was frat class, and tho many business
men who patronized them were unan-
imous in saying that the quality could
not bo improved upon. Throughout
tho afternoon the bazaar on tho second
floor was scrowded with people who took
tho first possible OCCASION to view the
many beautiful booths and articles for
ornament and sale which had been put
on exhibition.
A BRILLIANT NIGHT,
It was not until last evening, howey-
er, that tho bazaar opened in earnest.
Then the acene was ono that can be
said not to have been euuaIlcd except
on the famous Midway Plaisance at the
Worlds Fair. In fact, tho arrange
mont OF tho large hall on the second
floor was patterned after that interna-
tional thoroughfarc, which has become
familiar to so large proportion of
Americana. = ,'y,l. l=f-l-ssi ~ ~,
On entering, the scone. that bursts
suddenly on the view Is one whose
brilliancy is hurd to equal. Ranged
around tho sides are eleven magnifi-
Gently decorated booths. Behind the
counters OF the booths, in front, in fact
everywhere, is seen such mixture OF
nationalities as would confuse an ordi-
nary mortal. Turbaued Turks, yelled
Turkish ladies, Japs, and "Jupesses,n
as q spectator called the little ladies
from Alikadodom, Arabs, and nearly
every, other specimen OF foreign hu-
manity that was in it on tho original
Midway, were seen on the Wheeling
miniature last evening. And in one
particular-noise-this ono fully yequaled
the original. There was perfect Babel
OF sound from beginning to end, and
this was one OF the pleasing features,
for everybody seemed to be out for IN
evening OF unadulterated fun and enjoy
ment.
A feature was the very noticeable
preseuce OF a real, genuine Columbian
guard, Mr.. Charles Johnston, who ap-
peared with his complete uniform, No.
1000 on his cap. Together with the
Irish policeman, Louis Huseman, he
pretty nearly mado the spectators too the
mark, too. Unfortunately for tho dra-
matte side Of the case, there was not q

a SUCCESS FROM TIE START.
Throughoutthe evening tho thorough.
fare, with its surrounding booths, was
crowded with Jam Of people that far
exceeded the expectations Of tho pro-
moters OF the bazaar. In addition to
the large crowd, tho business done at
the various stands was alao first class.
Tho ladies in charge without an excep-
tion said that the sAles OF fancy articles
was heavier than was expected.
Turning to the right from the en-.
trance tho first stand is tho very hand
somely decorated ono occupied by the
rofreshment people. Tho booth is ono
OF the largest OF the bazaar and is lilled
with small tables, where constant
stream OF people discussed the excel

hore obtainable. The booth itself is
very pretty, being OF tho boil shane.

THE FIVE AGEs. 81
Next in the liuo OF booths comes tho
first OF five representing tho five ages,
Babyhood, Girlhood, Romance, spinster-
hood, and Mount Vernon, wherc a bow
OF matrons hold forth. The babyhoo.d
booth is one OF the most pleasing feat
ures OF the show. Tho following ladies

Miss Mollic Frew, The booth itself is
OF q very pretty deaign, quite roonv
and tastefully decorated. The decora.
tions arc white, and at tho roar
arc two fine tapestry panels loaned
for the occasion by Mr.. Harry
Franzheim. The most noticeable
feature is number OF children who
are generally busy-at play. And may.
be they don't enjoy themselves; to
shem,this is an event that will be re-
membered for many moons to come.
The smaller OF the children are Eliza.
