 A NEAT SUM TO THE CHURCH.

The Ladies League of the Congrega- tioual church Of tbis city held Bazar on Thursday and Friday evenings of last week, at the church, under the di- rectiou of Mrs. May Frost Cole, who is president of that organization.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Alaska was doing its best to introduce some real cold winter weather, and the ther- mometer was down to nearly zero point, good crowds were in attendance on both evenings.
 The ladies are certainly to be con- graduated upon the fascinating appear auce presented by the church, as ar ranged for the occasion. A noticeable feature of the decorations and the architectural design of the booths was the decided variety, which was in itself most pleasing. Each strip of colored paper was placed with view to the general effect of the whole and perfect ness was nearly attained.
 On entering, the first booth was the "Japanese Tea Room" decorated after the manner of the Orient, with lanterns, banners, fans and streamers. Miss Katherine Spiers and Miss Teckla Brevig presided, and each patron was presented with little china cup and saucer.
 Next in order was the Supper Room, in red and evergreen, where Mrs, Rob- ert Laughlin, Mrs. E. W. Weesner, Mrs. H. B. Pope, Miss Annie Hain and Miss Annie Mccormick dispensed things of a substantial nature.
 The Ice Cream Saloon with its panels and liutels of dark green and white touched with letters of red, looked cool and inviting, after half hour spent di- rectly over the hot air register. Mrs. J. F. LaTourette and Miss Maisy Dona- ghey were in charge.
 The Art Gallery was certainly design ed by au artist, for who else would dis cover the many wonders there present ed. The exhibits were arranged with view to the eternal fitness of things, and the variety of subjects ranged from the weiner wurst to the toothpick. The decorations were in violet, purple and white, with silver lettering, and Mrs. Dan Veazie end Mrs. William Mackie were in charge.
 The Book and Photo Stand, decorated with light blue and white, came next in order. Mrs. Juo. Gordon and Miss An nie Donaghey were in attendance.

 At the Alaska Post Office Miss Ger trude Spiers and Miss Adele Sandman exalted the profession by writing let ters for patrons who would otherwise have gone without. The decorations were in the national coiors, flags and shields.
 The Woodland Fish Pond, with its rocks and evergreen branches, and the certainty of a catch, was a source of constant delight to the children. Mrs. Andrew Forsburg took charge of the bait.
 The ChiIdren's Doll Booth, in yellow and white, with sunfowers, was next. Mrs. F. w. Hoyt and the girls of the Junior Society of Christian Endeayor' were in charge.

Here was displayed for sale all the needied products of the League workers. The prices charged were ex- ceedingly low and everyone got full value for all money expended. The proceeds were over $500.
