opening night of the Hospital Bazaar an
auspicious one. The booths looked very
handsome with their lavish display Of
fragrant conservatory plants and the
conventional chrysanthemums, making
the dainty wares look more attractive
to patrons. They also served as frames
for the pictures OF pretty young ladies
who stood behind, decked out
in their tasteful fnery, and
attending to the numerous
wants OF patrons, with the tact OF
skilled salesladies. There were some
fetching gowns worn, aud the bewilder'
ing array OF colors was not the least
important factor in producing the VS.
ual feast which delighted visitors last
evening. From the hour Tor opening
the doors until midnight there was
merry. moving throng in the halls, and
there wss such diversity Of attrac-
tions that the crowd was never con-
centrated at one place.
All day steady and busy throng OF
ladies' poured in and out OF the halls,
each lending a helping hand TO put on
the finishing touches of beautiful deco
rations to the booths, tables, temples
and camps. IL would be difficult TO
conceive how the decorations and trim
mings could have been improved upon.
The skill and genius displayed by the
different committees in making such
neat, attractive and gorgeous displays
under their supervision has, TO say the
least, been wonderful.
Descending to the second floor, an
array OF dining tables decorated with
smilax and chrysanthemums, and laden
with an elegant and superb display OF
substantials and delicacies arranged In
the most tempting manner that the
genius OF woman could devise Is
here offered TO the visitor.
These tables were the centre Of at
traction in the early evening, scores OF
ladies' and gentlemen s7ailing them
selves Of the opportunity to partake OF
a supper "ft for king" The ladies
in attendance at these tables were IN
firing IN their efforts 10 please their
patrons, and well did they succeed.
The Turkish smoking room received
liberal share Of patronage.
At the Japanese Temple" the at
tendants were busy showing the various
articles of fancy goods and disposing OF
them rapidly. Around the doll booth
there was constantly surging crowd to
see the elegant display. The May pole
dance and the wedding party were
especially attractive al this booth. The
Eighth Wonder OF the World, or the
celebrated electric talking doll, carried
of the palm Ia the way Of patronage.
No one should fail 10 visit the room
and see this wonderful curiosity. The
candy booth was we'll patronized, as
was also the flower booth. Many ducats
we're left in the hands of the attractive
aDd winsome attendants at these stands.
Throughout the evening the refresh
nent tables were crowded by the de-
lighted visitors.
