Armory Hall on Ellis street presented a
gay scene last night when the bazaar in

Lobos and Eighth avenues, was informally
opened by the rector, Rev. j. P. Coyle,
All The graceful pretty booths had been
decorated and furnished with articles for
sale by the ladies of the parish. There
were eight of them, each draped with artis-
tic-looking cheesecloth OF a different color,
and each booth seemed to vie with the
other in making goodly display Of eie-
CANT bric-a-brac. costly cushions, fans and
laces. pottery, bamboo furniture, uphol-
stored chairs, magnlficently dressed dolls
and mum Der of other pretty things that
if they only fetched what they are worth
ought to replenish the Golfers of the church
successfully.
Last nights rain no DOUBT kept good
many people away, bul there was very
fair attendance, notwtbstand The
wheels of fortune and the raffles seemed
TO be doing an especially fourisning busi-
ness, and the ice-cream and Sodawater
were in tremendous demand.
The Sacred Heart booth possessed an
especial attraction in the shape of an art
loan exhibition, which is to have an entire
change of programme every other day
that the fair remains open. The specially
of ST. Joseph's booth was a magnificent
chair. both with regard to outward decora-
tion and Internal comfort The upholstery
was in crushed straw berry plush and
gray and straw berry silk brocade. This de-
sirable article of furniture will fall prey
to either William j. Ruddck or Richard /.
