Sitting Tor his portrait the Cardinal has
fallen asleep A book dropping from his
hand upon the floor has attracted the at
tention of the artist, young monk, who
is running his hands through his hair in
perplexity and is in doubt what to do in
order not to displease the dignitary who
sits before him.
As the Cardinal sits at the table, where
bottle of Italian wine and dish OF fruit
awaits his pleasure, he looks aged and
feeble, but the half-fnished portrait on
the young monks easel represents man
in the prime of youth and strength
mute flattery on the youthful monks part
to one his superior in authority. The con-
trast is most amusing.
The figures are all in rich setting,
tapestries, carpets and all being handled
in the clever fashion that has made Rosen-
that's name famous.
The gingerbread fete is to be held at the
residence of Mrs. Clark Crocker, corner of
Suffer ana Oclavia streets. 1t will open

and Contlnue until IL O'Clock, Saturday
evening, May 10.
There Will be all sorts of attrac tions for
young and old, both indoors and out, and
the only strange thing is that the ladies
have managed TO crowd so many attrac-
tive features into so short space of time.
Indoors there will be different booth
in many different rooms. One will be the
Oriental booth, where all things Oriental
and Turkish for the qualification of the
artistic sense and the gustatory nerves will
be on hand.
Then there will be an Indian room, in
which such articles as Inoian baskets, pot
terry, mats and other things made by these
children of nature will be on exhibition.
There will, of course, be a bazaar, in
which many articles, useful and orna-
mental, manufactured by the ladies' deft
and willing fingers, may be found. In the
basement refreshments will be served.
The grounds will be illuminated al
night, and in the garden big tent will be
pitched which is 10 figure as the hall of
surprises. Richard Hotaling has charge
of all the surprises to be contained there
in, but jealousy guards them from prying
eyes till later on.
In the grounds also will be kineto-
scope, an animatoscope and shooting
gallery. Punch and Judy will be there
for the children in the afternoons and
gingerbread will simply abound.
