Last Night-A. O. III. Will Take

The second night of the Sacred Heart
Church fair was almost as well attend
ed as the opening. There were no
formalities and everyone went for the
purpose of passing "a pleasant even
ing. and succeeded admirably. The
booths and tables were even prettier
than on Tuesday night, for many new
and handsome articles had been add
ed. Some new decorations were also
noted and there were additional assist
ants for the various booths and they
were active and merry in their work.
Visitors had a better chance to see the
beauties of the general arrangement,
for the immense crowd of the opening
night had made it impossible to get
conceded to be one of the prettiest
and most interesting bazars ever held
in Savannah The booths and tables
are artistically designed and the goods
displayed with rare taste. The hall
of the Catholic Library Association
lends itself easily to decoration, and
the general effect is highly pleasing.

Among the noticeable new features
was the electric sign in front of the
Country store. This is designed to
automatically change, putting in one
letter at a time until the whole is
read, then all out, and starting over
Inside this enterprising and lively es-
Establishment Mr.. Rossignol and his
competent force dispense goods some
times at ridiculously low figures and
there was never any let up in the trade
for minute. The stock is so arrang-
ed that it can be located quicker than
q wink-although some of the pur-
chasers wouldn't mind getting a wink,
if Mary" was behind it. Mary is the
pretty new clerk, and although that
isn't really her name the other part
of the inference is strictly true. Mr.
Rossignol is one of the most energetic
novel and original ideas introduced in
to his business place that will bring
many dollars to the church building
fund
The annex presided over by Mrs.
RossignoI, was also showing new
adornments last night in the shape of
several big yellow butterflies, that had
apparently flew into the hall and
perched on the white canopy. The
hoo Gr11fa
work and outline cushions attracted
attention here and many words of adj
miration were heard in reference to
the display made.
Ladies Mt the Tables.
At the Fancy Work tables, presided
over by Mrs. P. J. O'Connor, a num-
Der of new and beautiful contributions
were displayed. Chief among these
was perhaps the exquisite oil painting
GR handsome gold frame) entitled "A
Promise" This was the gift of Mrs.
Joseph Cops. Mrs. O'Connor and her
many charming assistants were kept
very busy until late hour, and had
their full share of the business of the
evening.
The Japanese booth was again very
popular and the pretty laps who
stopped under the shade of the shelf
ering umbrella and those who Skin
IllSH6u dIlOIS the CIONUS vi TIE main
floor, were all we'll rewarded for their
trouble by having a fine report to make
of results.
The imposing booth of the knights
of Columbus, which is ably managed
by Mrs. Jordan F. Brooks, assisted by
a number of ladies, was popular last
night and did land office" business.
A round trip ticket to New York and
a splendid dinner set are among the
recent additions to stock in this booth.
Up on the stage the refreshment
tables were occupied during a greater
part of the evening and the good
things served were enjoyed by the
multitude. Not often does the public
have such service and the meals,
lunches and refreshments in general
were greatly enjoyed. This is one of
the most interesting and pleasant de-
partments of the fair and satisfaction
is guaranteed every customer in the
serving of each order.
The smoking room proved attractive
again last night and will likely con-
tinue to be popular 1t is decorated
in unique style and the merry young
