THE POLITE WORLD

The linen sale and bazaar given blythe
ladies of the First Presbyterian church
was opened yesterday morning at 10
o'clock in Muskegon block, corner of
Broadway and Third streets. Shortly
after the doors were opened there were a
number OF people present, and the stream
that continued the entire day was most
hattsrng to the success of the sale and
before noon number Of tho articles had
been disposed of. The large corner room
was kindly offered to the lad es for the
occasion by L. d. Stimson, and they have
spared no pains in converting the bare
rooms into beautiful bazaar. Large bar
rels of cut flowers and potted plants lend
theii grace to the many pretty articles
displayed for sale. Lyons has been most
generous in his donat ions of plants and
vines, vnd the beauty of the room is
greatly OWING to his unstinted kindness.
Bert Volmer and the Los Angeles Furni-
turs company have contributed articles to
help the ladies in making the sale sue
cess. That 1t is an unquestionable sue
cess was assured yesterday evening by
the absence of many OF the articles that
were fol- sale in the II oining, and if
yesterdays receipts may be taken for q
precedent of the two days that will fol-
low, the Golfers of the First Presbyterian
church will be the weightier for the
ladies' untiring efforts.
