THE convErT's FAIR.
Two Whole Days OF Pure Pleas.
urea Success Ftnancislly
and S0cially.

| and socially.
The people Of Lafayette have
seldom had an opportunity TO wit:
ness more interesting entertainments
than those given by the pupils of
Mount Carmel Convent, under the
able supervision Of the kind sisters
of that famous institution of learn
ing. The sisters never undertake
anything without carrying it to i
successful conclusion and when the
people of the town and parish heard
that preparations were being made
to give entertainments and a fair ON
June IS and IS, they knew that it
meant two whole days of pleasure.
There is not in the State place
better suited for a fair than the
beautiful convent grounds, and this
fact is SO we'll known and appreciated
by all that it is only necessary to
mention that a fair will be held
there to draw crowds of people
from all parts of the parish. Last
Sunday was no exception to the
rule; the grounds were beautifully
decorated, and at every point were
evidences of the tasty handiwork of
the convent girls. Under the um-
brageous trees stood dozens of
tables laden with all the good things
imaginable, the choicest meats,
cakes, fruits. coffee, lemonade, and
every thing that is kept at a
fair, including the traditional TOM
bola with post-ohice attachment
without which no well-managed
fair can get along. All these were
in charge of the ladies who had
generously volunteered their assis-
tance toward the success of this
enterprise, having for it's object the
raising of fund to be used to paint
the Catholic church and to build
pews.
The inclenent weather prevented
many country people from coming,
but, nevertheless, the grounds were
visited by a large number people,
many of whom took dinner there
and an excellent dinner it was.
At night the spacious hall was
filled with people who had come to
see good entertainment and at the
same time help a worthy cause.
The following program was renderd
u a way that would do credit to
any troupe of amateurs:

Monday was also gala day at
fair grounds and as the weather was
more propitious than on Sunday,
more people were present, and long
before the hour fixed for the be-
ginning of the performance had ar
rived the hall was packed and only
standing room was left. The pro-
gram, which follows, was equally as
