THE CANDY BOOTH.
In the northeast corner is the Candy
booth, in charge Of Mrs george Lura,
whose knowledge of the mysterious art
OF preparing the dainty CONNECTIONS
purses of the average young
man who goes "a-courtin," must
be complete, if the general excellence
of the candies on sale is an indication.
The booth is very tastefully decorated
in white. with pink chrysanthemums
and palms.

young ladies, in that artless way pecu-
liar to femininity, contrived to linger

graceful manner. The booth is trim
med in white and green, and smilax
forms a conspicuous part of the
decorations. The table is laden with
cakes in sufficient number and variety
to satisfy the most eXacting con-
noisseur in the pastry art, and a.corps
OF young ladies serve cooling drinks
and ices in an apartment reserved
especially for that purpose.

THE COUNTRY STORE
is an exact representation in miniature
of the crossroads business house,
which is headquarters for everybody
who is anybody, and where everything
is on sale from pins to pianos. The
motto of the management is conspicu-
ously displayed
Pay as you go,
Then you won't c."
A barrel of sweet cider 'tempts the
thirsty, and the devoree of the weed
can secure plug of the genuine
niger twist, while the thrifty
housewife can get supply of fresh
country butter and eggs, or any other
old thing usually found in the pantry
OF a we'll regulated household. The
boss of this model establishment is
Miss Lizzie Hague, and her clerks are
Misses Kate McEntee, Gertrude Laur-
ers, Nellie O'Neal and Lena Dick.
NOVEL FEATURES.
Other novel features of the bazaar
are the postoffice, the museum, the
clairvoyant, and the Punch and Judy
show.
The postmaster was selected without
inquiry being made as to his political
affiliations. The committee desired an
official who could boom business for
Uncle Sam, and unanimously selected
Thomas Duffey as the man to fill, the
bill. The postmaster hit upon happy
scheme for increasing revenues-the
appointment of mail carriers who are
females. The letters are delivered by
Misses Annie Mehan and Gertrude Far
ley, and the postage is never pre-
paid.
The Punch and judy show is i'll
charge of Misses Nora O'Brien and
Beulah Smith, and last night the tent
in which these historic characters gave
their performance was at all times
crowded.
Miss Anna Henry is in charge of
the clairvoyant's tent. Inside the past,
present and future are revealed for
very modest consideration. Advice is
given in love, business and domestic
matters.

Jessie Helmbright, is room of Won
ders, of which the following is a list:
