WILL HOLD A BAzAR.
Proceeds to Be Used to
Equip st. Vincent's
Hospital.

Ladies' Aid societies of Worcester's
Catholic churches have planned a baz-
ar for the purpose of raising funds for
the equipments of the new st. Vincent's
hospital on Vernon street. The new
building which is now finished entirely,
promises to be one of the best appoint
ed institutions of its kind in the state.
The plans for the equipments which
have been explained in The Spy, are
complete in every way, and the Ladies'
Aid societies propose to see the plan
through.
The bazaar will be held in the new
building on Vernon street from June p
to June 30 and all kinds of useful arti-
cles will be on sale at booths and tables
arranged in different sections of the
building. 1t was originally intended to
have the bazaar in a hall in the center
of the city, but the unusual large num-
Der of people who are interested in the
welfare of the institution and its pro-
gress expressed a desire to see the
building and the committee decided that
the better plan would be to hold the
affair there.
An orchestra will furnish music every
evening and pupils of Miss Grace
Moynahan will help entertain those who
attend. There will be refreshment
table. mystery and domestic booths, art
tables and other tables, all of which
will be so arranged as to interest the
public.
Tickets will be issued next week to
the committee in charge which consists
Of the officers and executive committee

will give them out to the heads and
assistants on the tables

LIBRARY ADDITIONS.
Plans Prepared That Tell of Excellent
improvements.

rams Prepared mat Tell OF Excellent
improvements.
Sketches have been drawn by Earle
& Fisher, architects, for the proposed
addition to the public library.
The plans at their present stage OF
development call for a two-story and
basement addition on the west side of
the present building about 20 feet on
Elm street, and 95 feet deep, with a
new and separate entrance to the
basement on that street The style of
the present building will be followed ex-
actly and the material will be brick and
stone, much of the latter being OBJ
tanned from the present walls in making
the alterations, so that but very little
new stone win be needed The addition
proper will cost about $500 and the
balance of the $500 will be expended
upon other interior improvements such
as the purchase of requisite shelves,
tables and other furniture and supplies
made necessary by the enlargement Of
the building. A new elevator will be
put in TO replace the one now used,
which is no longer considered safe. A
catalogue case will be added also.
Another feature will be the increased
shelf room and the consequent increase
in the number of books with which pa
irons of the library come in contact.
This number is now only about 500
but when the alterations are completed
1t is estimated that thousands of books
will be within easy reach Of patrons.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the entire plan is the furnishing in
the basement Of separate rooms for
children. Part of the room in the pres
ent building now used for stacking
books will be added to the basement
addition and very attractive quarters
secured. Here will be found Juvenile
books and magazines with a special at
tendant for the children. There will
be both distributing and reading rooms
and, in fact, the department will be
similar to the Boston children's library
in practically every particular except
size. The age limit of Is which at pres
ent exists will be retained and all chill
dren under that age will be furnished
cards only upon recommendation Of
parents or teachers.
