Teachers Bazaar.
FOURTH DIVISION HELD SWAY
Many Special Features Added to
the Funds on Hand.
TONIGHT'S ROGRAM

The snow flakes fell fast and thick last
evening, and in that respect were similar to
the attendance al the Teachers Bazaar. AS
everyone expected, Fourth Division night
proved the banner occasion of the week.
and it seemed that all South Washington
rallied to Convention Hall just to show the
other folks that the fourth exists and in
decidedly healthy state, so far as size is con-
cerned. too. Everybody arrived early and
stayed late and spent their money and had
| a good time. For the second time the camel
| lost its temper because of the extra duties
| it was forced to perform, and actually KICK
| ed little girl in blue, who innocently ap-
| preached it's stall.
The receiving party at the administration
| booth was headed by Mrs Isaac Fairbrother,
| and she was assisted by Mrs Cushman.
| Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Champlain, Mrs. w. H.
| Baum, Mrs. Clifford Bergman and Miss
| Hine. large audience enjoyed the excel
| lent program presented on the stage under
| the direction of Mr.. w. H. Daniel. 1t was
| opened with several selections by the pupils
! of Miss Katie v. Wilson. The Cecilian quar-
| tea, consisting of Mrs. Wilson, Miss Nye,
Miss Pilsbury and Miss Callahan, also sang.
| as did Miss BERTHE Thompson Miss Carrie
| Dyer followed with skirt dance and then
there was fancy dancing by Susie Hum
phreys. Chrissy Sproesser, Blanche Riley and
Mamie Sewers, all pupils of Miss Jessie
Sproesser. The National Mandolin Club, un-
der the direction of Miss Alice Marble, again
appeared. The feature of the entertainment
was dance of nations by Miss Florence
McGurk, during which she depicted in sue
cession the popular dances of the different
countries. Prof. Donchs orchestra rendered
its usual enjoyable program.
The invited guests were larger in number
than on any other evening during the
bazaar. They entered the hall headed by
the well-known Mt. Pleasant Field Rand,
and comprised the Order of Marine En-
gineers the Veteran Volunteer Firemen's
Association and the Masters and Pilots AS
ISOLATION and the uniformed battalion Of
Odd Fellows. with Canton Potomac drum
corps. In their varied uniforms the men,
bers of the organiZa tons added color to the
scene and cash to the treasury of the
bazaar.
Special Features.
The colors lavender and white were natur-
ally most in evidence last night, and the
fourth division boldly claim that it has done
far more in ratio to it's means than any
other represented in the enterprise. Besides
its regular BOOTH South Washington did a
thriving business with fish pond full of
doc1le fish, all numbered. At no time was
its bubble stand deserted. for there tests of
skill at the blowers art were made and
prizes given to the victors. A nameless
game with knives and rings, depending up
on the skill of the thrower for success, was
also drawing spot. The handsomely dec
Grated booths were loaded down when the
bazaar opened with fancy articles of every
description, but many had disappeared and
money taken their places before the evening
was over. voting contest for gold medal
offered to the most popular boy of the fourth
division was closed last evening. The con-
testants were John Downey of the jefferson
| School, Charles Price of the Smallwood and
Charles Jesse of the Bradley. The contest
attracted much attention and was conducted
in very spirited manner. Late in the even
ing Mr.. Fairbrother announced from the
stage that John Downey had won the med
al with total of 1856 votes. The winner
was cheered and borne about the hall on
the shoulders of his joyous companions
Practical Work.
The sewing lessons last evening were in
drafting and cutting undergarments. and
were conducted by Mrs A. L. Norris Miss
Mary E. Davis gave a cooking lesson on
orullers and fshballs, and the manual train
ing work was conducted by Mr.. f. j. Dalsin.
The candy table. under the management of
Miss Kate T. Brown. with its pretty at
| PENDANTS, continues to be one of the most
| attractive PORTS in the hall. The refresh
ment cafe should also be remembered, not
emily for the reason that perfect view of
| the anima ted scene below may be obtained
| from the gallery, but because the edibles
served are the best that can be procured. All
the leading hotels of the city daily contrib
| Ute salads to the cafe, and the other dishes
served are appetizng and reasonable in
price. Mrs. Capt. Robert Platt is in charge
having generously donated her services, al
though not connected in any way with the
schools or the association. She is assisted
by Miss Awkward and Miss Scott, while the
mattresses are the prettiest girls from the
second and third divisions. The cafe will be
open Saturday from IL am.
The management desires to call special
attention to the afternoon sessions. At that
time the arrangements and decorations may
be fully appreciated because of the absence
of the crowds which flock the hall each
Saturday evening next. and there is to be
no auction SALE for all goods remaining on
hand will be converted into cash later, prob
ably by sale in a store.
