Missoula, Nov. 27.-The holiday sea-
son in Missoula is being augmented by
the first opening of a very creditable
an Industrious effort on the part OF
the sisters of the Missoula academy.
1t is the fair under the management
and direction of the sisters of the aca-
denny and the Catholic ladies of the
Garden city, who have attractively
and deliberately decorated the corner
room In the Hammond block. with as
fine a display of fancy work. as well
as useful articles as has ever been
made in the city. Upon several pre-
vious occasions the fair has been con-

with encouraging results. but the pre-
sent purpose is directly for the benefit
of the sisters academy, the proceeds
OF which are to go for the building and
fixtures of an addition to the present
rooming capacity Of the academy. The
school is becoming very popular as an
institution of learning, and the room
ing capacity lis inadequate to the many
applications now being made. thus the
required addition, and to this end and
purpose the fair movement is insu-
tuted for the benefit of raising or help
ing to raise, the necessary funds TO
make the additional school room. ie q
The limited room, used by the board
of trade, on the corner of Front and
Higgins avenue. Is small, but under
the special and judiciouS arrangement
of the ladies', has been made quite at
tractive. The opening evening, on
Monday night, was not a very remun-
erative one, from the fact that num-
erous other attractions in the city. had
considerably divided the amusement
seeking classes, yet the fair was well
crowded by people during the entire
evening and the sales were far beyond
the expectations of the ladies.
Five beautiful booths occupy the
room, all of which are attractively
and artistically arranged in their re-
spective lines. Each of them are ar
ranged by their managers, so that
there is a special attraction in all that
differs very much from the regular
routine of such displays.
