INTERESTING PROG RAM

was the drawing attraction at the teach
ers' bazaar last evening. OF course, the
camel was in holiday disposition, and per-
formed extra labor without sign Of COM
plant The oriental booth did an I'M
usually thriving business, the Turks and
Arabs were in their glory, and, in addi-
ton, a richly attired troupe of Japanese
and Chinese were very much in evidence
in all portions of the hail throughout the
evening. The usual large crowd was in at
tendance, but a decided fifth division spirit
pervaded the occasion. At the administra-
ton booth Mrs B. T. Janney, wife of the
supervising principal of the fifth division,
was at the head of the reception commit
tee, which consisted of Mrs Henry Wilson,
Mrs. Joyce, Mrs Bradley, Mrs. Ryder.
Miss Darneille and Miss MCGOWAN. There
were also at the booth Mr.. Jesse H. Will
son, trustee for the division, and Mr.. B.

Misses kohle and McReynolds. Then there
was an artlstically executed skirt dance
by Master Eddie DAVIS, after which
grand parade of the orientals around the
hall occurred. 1t was headed by Donch's
Band, and next in line was the camel,
proudly bearing Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. jan
ney. and attended by the Arabs, in flowing
garments. There followed the Japanese
and Chinese, walking arm-in-arm. the re-
cent unpleasantness between the two
countries having apparently been entirely
forgotten. The music Of Donch's orcheS-
ira was popular and up to the standard.
Red Prevailed.
Red was the prevailing color last evening
and nearly every one wore badge of that
hue The main booth of the fifth division,
occupying a central position on one side of
the hall, Is handsomely decorated with old
tapestries, the rich colors and graceful folds
of which form a fitting background for the
attendants, who, atured in Moorish COS
tunes, dispense the wares OF the orient.
One corner OF the booth is devoted to
weird performance by Nv !Zard of the
East" while another is occupied by dimIl.
utive japanese lady, who, from the door OF
her palanquln, distributes tiny leaflets. re-
Veallng the mysteries of fate. A booth
smaller, but o less attractive in design ana
decoration, is the resort of tea drinkers.
There pretty japanese girls, in kimonas.
serve the beverage. and some real Japanese
waters. and then permit visitors to carry
ns il Satp nj
saucer.
The sewing lesson last evening was in
fifth grade work and was conducted by Miss
Hannah Drarey. Charlotte russo and sun
shine cake were the good things made at
the cooking exhibit by class of girls under
the instruction of Miss Fannie Alice, while
Mr.. T. w. Fuller presided over the manual
training department.
The bazaar will positively come to an end
tomorrow evening. All the voting contests

piano are the Central High, Force and Har-
rison schools, while the officers sword is
being holly fought for by the four high

But short time remains to view the art
loan exhibit in the room directly under the
gallery. This has proved decidedly at
tractive spot for those interested in paint
ings, ard nothing but praise has been ex-
pressed for the exhibit Itself and for Mr..
Parker Mann. through whose efforts mainly
the works were secured and who has de-
voted much time to make the exhibit a sue
cess The hundreds of teachers who have
labored assiduously to further the sue
cess of the bazaar also deserving of
special commentator. while the manage
ment also desires to thank the super'nten-
dent of schools, Mr.. w. B. Powell who. by
his constant presence and happy smile, has
added pleasure nv his visits.
