PRETTY BOOTHS

eign Lunch Will be a Draw
ing Feature.

The Drill shed was a hive of industry
yesterday with the preparations for the
Catholic fair and luau to be given there
today from noon until late this even
ing. Dozens of ladies were busily at
work decorating the numerous booths
from which viii be sold all manner of
pretty things; while twenty-five or thir-
ty Hawaiians We're busy outside deco
rating the immense lanai which has
been built in front of the entrance, I'M
der which the luau and foreign lunch
tables are to be placed. Beyond this a
large tent has been erected wherein ice
cream and other trides viii be sold.
The interior of the Drill shed will be
a kaleidoscope mass of color today
when the booths are completed and all
the articles of sale are on display. The
iron roof Orders are almost concealed
by strings of flags which give the in
terror a pavilion effect. The booths are
arranged along the walls and on the
stage and the ladies in charge of each
were yesterday vying with each other to
make theirs the prettiest. To the credit
of the ladies in charge it must be said
that they have accomplished wonders
in the decorative scheme. They have
mounted high stepladders to wind bunt-
ing and colored paper trimmings over
the false work of the booths, trained
masses of greenery about pillars, used
hammers and nails with success and
last evening at o'clock were proud
of what they had done.
No effort is being spared to make the
fair the largest undertaking of the kind
ever given here, and they expect
financial reward in keeping with the
size of the fair: For weeks the bazaar
has been planned. and the only feature
to regret is that the Sisters of the Con-
vent, in whose behalf the fair and luau
is given, will not be able to see the
pretty picture of the booths. Immured
as they are behind walls and seeing
nothing of the world, neither will they
have an opportunity in this instance to
gaze upon the handiwork of their for
mer pupils. At o'clock this morning
several of the Marist Brothers from st.
Louis College will take photographs of
the interior of the Drill shed and the
lanais, and these will be given to the
Sisters.
Visitors will enter the fair at the main
entrance to the lanais. These have been
enclosed with palm branches, tightly in
terwoven, and all the posts are conceal
ed under banana stalks and other trop-
ical greenery. The floor will be cover
ed with rushes and the tables. will be
concealed with ii leaves. The luau ia
bles will be laden with every delicacy
known to Hawaiian feasts and those
