at the Bazaar Wednesday night
May, sweet May, represented by
charming booth, rooted with holly and
red berries, tringed with dainty grey, at
tracts one at once; although many are the
beautiful plants, it does not take long to
select a favorite, then if in doubt as to
which month to visit next, Flora, or one
of her nymphs will direct you, but
whether you march to right, left or
straight ahead, delightful surprises await
you. Since turning to the right is usually
excellent advice, if you take it, behold
the "Old Curiosity Ship" whose attend
ants are not "the old grandfather and
little Nell" but fair matron and maid
ems. who gladly show curiosities from
Palestine, China, the Philippines. Cuba.
and other far away lands, as we'll as heir
looms belonging to our Bridgeton fami-
lies-in this way you spend September.
Next to it is January, illustrating with it's
chilly exterior and golden nuggets the
araway Klondike-e the weird d ace.

October, rare October, entices into Its
tent. where alluring gypsy girls reveal
the future. Surely one could not wonder
if many were charmed into the green
gnarled tent.
August, with her art treasures, causes
one to see at once where in the home
choice picture may be placed, and piece
of dainty china is easily selected for the
China closet. The pocket book cannot
keep closed when0the beautiful tempts
are to open it.
What shall we say in praise of Decem-
Der? Words fail, for here are many
many choice things with which to make
friends aud kindred happy at Christmas
time We wonder at the wonderful re-
suits of nimble fingers and artistic brains
February, the month sacred to Wash
ington, Lincoln and st. Valentine. This
booth is daintily exquisite in all its ap-
pointments; the unique decorations well
illustrate the month-arrowed hearts,
untouched hearts. hatchets, red, white
and blue, all on pure white background.
But the sweetmeats tempt the palate and
please the eye, temptingly displayed in
their beautiful receptacles.
"June, lovely June, now beauties the
CROWN and this is the children's para
dise-dollies small, dollies tall-the
anxious mother in the shoe is willing to
dispose of the many children with whom
she does not know what to do. AS you
view the charming booth, exquisite in all
lis details you will feel much pride that
so much beauty is the result of Bridgeton
talent.
Right across the way is coy, tickle
April, but never fear, generous uu-
brella is a shelter from the showers that
bring forth May flowers" A wonder
full hen is seen, so obliging that at request
she produces an egg, whose contents are
so satisfactory that one agrees she is the
sweetest hen that ever was seen. Don't
forget the 'Koko" a re ward to each who
gives proof of remembrance.
Next to April is a display we'll in keep
ing with the object OF the wonderful
Bazaar, showing patients in ward and
one in the operating room.
| Here go two white rabbits carrying an
an invitation, "Hot rabbit ready, come
quick" Be sure to accept it, and behold
unique booth, background of green
bordered with many white rabbits. and
strange to relate tall white bunnies serve
you with delicious Welsh rabbit on crisp
biscuits, the best ever served-this is No
| Yember.
But what shall one say of "The Country
store" Its attractions are in the month
of March. Everything may be bought
here. and the buying is a delight when
served by lively matrons and merry
maidens in sun bonne.s.
But hurrah, hurrah for July! The
patriotic heart is all aglow with memories
OF old fashioned celebrations, and though
the month suggests days and nights not
cool-away with all warm suggestions
for cooling drinks delight one, served by
happy people. while the music plays,
plays, plays.
Now for the Restaurant, there one rests
and is refreshed with good things. and
one may we'll be loud in praise of the
culinary skill of the generous matrons of
Bridgeton, who provided such goodly
repasts; praise too to the good men now
for their liberal donations.
The Bazaar closed Saturday night, and
all the afternoon and evening the attend
ance was crush.
Saturday night party of Millville
ladies headed by Mrs. VIM. Newell and
Mrs. Rebecca Doughty, visited the fair,
and they generously made many pur-
chases. Some fancy articles were brought
over by these Millville ladies and pre-
scented to the Bazaar and we're afterwards
sold at considerable profit.
The receipts Of the four days fair will

$1,000.
The sale of admission tickets amounted
to over $500, which indicates an attend
