GOOD SHEPHERD FAIR
1T WAS OPEN LAST NIGHT, AL
THOUGH THE REAL CERE-
MONIES COME TONIGHT
BOOTHS WERE NOT YET DONE

Everything VIII he in Readiness,
However, This Evening The
Fair Is the Most Ambitious That
Has Been Given in st. Paul in
Recent imes-PrOgramme for
the Week an Attractive One.
The formal opening Of the Good
Shepherd fair will be held this even
ing in Market hall. The fair opened
to the public last evening, but the
booths were not completed, and there
was no programme. Enough has been
done with the booths and decorations,
however, to demonstrate the fact that
the bazar will. without any exception,
be the handsomest thing Of It's kind
ever given in st. Paul. Enough cannot
be said of the extreme beauty of the
booths. There has not been the slight
est attempt at cheap decoration. Every
detail is IN the utmost taste and har-
moEy, nothing has been OVerdone and
all has been artistically and well done.
Mark Fitzpatrick has OVerseen and ar
ranged much of the decorating, and
to his good taste and artistic judgment
is due the happy effect Of the whole.
MORO castle stands for the cathedral
parish, and tonight the bOmbardment
begins. A sure enough castle has been
erected at one side OF the. auditorium.
Over 1T f1ys the Stars and Stripes and
the Cuban colOrs. Above the center of
the booth hangs shield bearing a big
gilt eagle. Stacked guns draped with
flags stand at either side of the booth
and its counter carrys a burden OF
fancy work and beautiful baby dolls,
WI pln fc
needle work of the good sisters them
selves.
In connection with this booth is a
fish pond and a unique candy booth.
Big ribbon canes, representing pepper
mint candy, form the pillars from
which a ribbon canopy is caught to a
