THE CLOSE OF THE FAIR
FLOWER MISSION WILL NET NEARLY
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
tiOns Of the Last Day-An-
other Dance.

The college fair under the auspices of the
Flower Mission closed last night with
college dance, which was attended by the
Younger set of girls and boys, who seemed
to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Before the
dance the Edison photograph moving pic
lures were shown and proved as popular
as on preceding nights. Mrs. Arthur b.
Grover was hostess for the evening, and
she was assisted by the officers of the fair.
Yesterday afternoon in spite of the IN
clement weather a large crowd of little
folks, accompanied oby their parents or
older sisters, attended the children's par
ty. the hostess for which was Mrs. Will
liam Scott. The chidrens booth was the
chief attraction where the menagerie
amused and terrified the children.
In the children's booth alone over $50
was taken in, and the ladies in charge of
the booth think the receipts for the week
will reach about 5000. The pictures were
repeated for the children's party. and Pro-
fessor Brenneke had charge of the dancing
class.
After the dance last night the articles
left over from the fair were auctioned off
and almost everything was disposed of.
Altogether the college fair has been a sue
cess, and it is thought about $1,000 will be
realized. The officers of the fair and the
construction committee have worked hard
for its success and deserve much credit.
