dies of the Club.
The Carroll Club chrysanthemum
bazaar opened auspiciously yesterday
evening with large crowds in attend
ance. 1t is the most creditable affair
of the kind by far ever given in this
city. The scene presented was bril-
liant one, especially in the partNof the
club set aside for the FORTS exhibits.
In the first room on the left of the
hallway entering from the auditorium
is Helstern's exhibit The exhibit is
not an elaborate one, but plants are
uniformly arranged. This fact makes
it very attractive. The plants, which
for the most part are small, are almost
all ported plants of the ragged variety.
They are banked on two sides OF the
room with setting of greenery. On
the side opposite the door is large
flowers.
In the second room on the left is
Laupp's exhibit. The large bay win
dow in the room is completely filled
with a very elaborate setting of ported
chrysanthemums in front OF a mass OF
plants OF all varieties.N The cut flow
ers are on the other side OF the room.
In the exhibit are the ragged, golden
wedding, red, Fall bride and silver vari-
cites in all sizes.
Directly across the hall is Hess ex-
hibit. 1t is very attractive in the four
corners of the room. Crescent shaped
stands have been erected almost to the
ceiling. The flowers, which are mag
nificent growths, are banked on these
stands with magnificent settings Of
palms, ferns and other greenery.
On the second floor, in the room to
the right at the head of the stairs, is
Greiner's exhibit. Stands reaching
partly up the wall bear the samples Of
the florists art. The flowers are for
the most part in pots.
Across the hallway, in The billiard
room, is the exhibit Of the Wheeling
Greenhouse Company. The room has
been almost magically transformed
into veritable bower by the skill Of
Mr.. John Dieckmann, the companys
grower and decorator. The exhibit is
in charge of Miss Clara Forbes, who
conducts the company's retail house on
Twelfth street. The four sides of the
wall are hung in wild smilaX. From the
three chandeliers were festoons Of Gull
tivated smilaX to the walls. In the CEN
ire of the room are two large pyramids
heavily laden with chrysanthemums,
potted plants and ferns. The heads OF
the topmost plants almost touch the
ceiling. On the sides are banks of
flowers reaching up to meet the hang
ing of SmilaX. In the very centre Of
the room between the pyramids is a
large vase crowded full of large cut
flowers. In the room Is almost every
variety of the flower grown. At night
the scene presented beggars descrip-
ton. The light delicately shaded cast
a soft glow over all, which greatly en-
hances the effect
In the large auditorium are the vari-
Gus booth in charge of the ladies of
the club. a coy retreat for the gentle
men is the Turkish booth. Here is to
be found dimly lighted retreats where
a cigar may be enjoyed ont of the hurry
hurley. The booth is hung in hand
some Oriental tapestry. Lamps from
the far East furnish the only lighting,
and the scene presented by the COM
Portable looking lounges and coy cor
ners is an inviting one. The booth is
in charge of the following ladies: Miss
Anna Lee, chairman; and the Misses
Margaret Jepson, Matilda Reilly, Sallie
Aston and Anna Wingerter
The candy booth is beautifully done
in yellow and white and laden down
with Mrs. George Lutz's famous candy.
Mrs. Lutz is the chairman. She is as
sisted by the Misses Ann Hoffman,,
Clara Wingerter, Minnie Cochran.
Emma Zoeckler and Mrs. Harry
Truschel.
The museum and poster exhibit is
one of the oddities of the show. Here
are the freaks of the land. The post
ers are parodies on famous paintings
of the century The display is very
creditable. Mrs. James T. Handlan is
the chairman. The assistants are Mrs,
Thomas O'Brien, Jr, Misses Julia Flad-
ing, Margaret Jones, Gertrude Cam
pbell, Flora and Belle Welty.
Light refreshment is disposed within
railing entwined in green. The pail
atable wares are served by quite a
