ing booths, within which are to be dis
played the various articles of ware offered
for sale by the ladies of the Abercrombie
and st. Mary's Guilds of Christ Hospital,
tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. All
morning also the ladies themselves have
been fitting to and fro giving directions
and making ina arrangements TOWARD
the success of their May fair.
The tables and booths are to be ar
ranged in a circle round the hall, while
thereon at the rear will be fitted up as
a refreshment cafe, where cake, cream
n lemonade will be served by Mrs.
Grote of East Orange, Mrs. Robinson and
a number of young ladies who have con-
scented to act as mattresses for the occa-
sion. Mrs. C. Williams of Hoboken will
also have a refreshment booth where
chocolate cake will be served. and
there is to be a candy booth in charge of
the young adde's from the training school
of the hospital, among whom are:-Miss
Lillian A. Parker, Miss Ella NJ. john
stone, Miss Janet Bradner, Miss Henri
eta Spowart, Miss Anna E. Bennett, Miss
Mary I. Edwards, Miss Eleanor Mclean,

Miss Emily H. McCleary, Mrs. Nellie F..
Speeding and Miss Euphemia Altman.
This booth is to be daintily trimmed in
blue and white, the training colors, while
the nurses are to serve in costume.
The decorations viii consist of the col
ors of the two guilds mingled with those
of the outside organizations which par
ticipate in the fete, SO there will be any
number of colored ribbons and strips of
bunting arranged so as not to clash with
others and making a charming effect of
successive canopies under the electric
lights and enhanced by the addition of
palms and flowers
Miss A A. Trips doll table promises
to be of especial interest and beauty. She
is to be assisted by the Daffodill Club
from the Bergen School for Girls, and
from the number of dolls donated, to
say nothing of dolls equipments, it looks
as though she might need even more help
if the public is only as generous in buying
as in donating.
Another table of especial interest will
be that of the Open Hand Club, under
the charge of Mrs. Theodore S. Wardell,
upon which win be displayed a large
number of fancy articles, such as one is
not apt to find in an ordinary dry goods
store. Mrs. Wardell win, of course, be
assisted by members of the club.
Mrs. C. J. Rowe will also have a fancy
table with a large number of helpers.
The Apron Table also promises to be
one of great interest, n will contain
aprons of every description, from. the big
Bingham checkered affair, destined for
the kitchen, to the dainty bit of ribbon,
ruffles n lace, made to grace my LADY,
at an afternoon tea or sewing bee. This
booth will be in charge of Mrs. William
g. Bumsted, assisted by Mrs. Burdette
Post Craig and Mrs. James Throckmor-
ton, n the decorations are to be
especially pretty.
Mrs. Peter Fulton, with her Presby-
terrain Circle, has also promised a very
pretty and lucrative booth, and Mrs. w.
c. Brown is going to conduct a handker-
chief and perfumery booth, appropriately
decorated. Mrs. Brown already has in
hand a large number of handsome cam
brio squares with ounces, pints, quarts
and gallons Of extracts and toilet waters,
n a promise of more between this and
tomorrow. Miss Cantor of Tenafiy is to
have a cushion table.
Besides all his there will be two mys-
terry booths, that run by Miss Nellie
Cefin and called a Santiago Ferry, for
which quite an extensive structure is to-
day being erected, and the mystery table
