CLEANERS
FAIR AT
CASTLES

| If there had not been so many other
iattraotions in different parts of the city
the grounds of W. R. Castles place
would surely have been filled to over
flowing yesterday afternoon, but as If
was the Cleaners fair held there was a
success both financially and artistically.
The financial reward for the energy dis
played in preparation was around $4oO.
and after all expenses are paid there
viii be close to $500 remaining. This in
spite of so called hard times speaks
well for the generosity of the crowd,
and also for the young ladies who in
one way or another beguiled the dollars
from the pockets of the throng.
There We're about dozen booths ar
ranged in different parts of the yard,
in one corner of which Berger and his
band helped along the merriment by
the rendering of popular airs.
To the right OF the gate as one enter
ed was the JAPANESE booth Here
young ladies daintily aftired in kimonos
served hot and cold tea and delicacies
found only in the land of the Mikado.
Miss Marion Dillingham; had charge of
the booth and was assisted by Miss
Ruth Whitney, Jennie Winnie, Vera Da-
mon and Lyla Pratt
To the left was the Fishing booth and
soap bubble stand. From the reeesses
of tent children drew mysterious
packages by the aid of fish pole, and
Others made merry blowing soapbubbles
in the air, on themselves. ana on their
friends Miss Nina Craig had charge
of this, while Miss Cooke managed the
fish pond with Ruth Shaw and Flor
ence Winters as assistants.
Candy is generally a complete attract
ion in itself, but under such a canopy
as was prepared yesterday, it took on
an added flavor. The sales were rapid
here, and the bags ana boxes were gem
erously filed, which is a thing not al
ways found at such fairs Miss Mar
jorie Peterson was chairman of the
candy committee and her assistants were
Miss Dagmar Sorenson. Belle Ashley,
Helen johnson, Violet Damon, Rather
inc Smith and Helen Hadden.
At the Fancy booth Miss JuIiette
Cook with Miss May Paty, Grace Lead
ingham, Mabel McAndrews and Mary
Fraser as aids disposed of fans, cush-
ions. needle work. baskets and things
dear to tie feminine heart. Some post
ers of unusual merit decorated this
booth.
The Punahou booth was nothing If
not loyal to the school. for inside and
out the bamboo shelter fairly blazed |
wi \ the colors of the college, made and
fashioned into articles too numerous to
mention, but all of which a student /
might consider as necessity for his !
or her use. That the students realized
this is proved by the gross receipts,
which amounted to some $780,
Miss Ethel Amweg was in charge
with the following Pu9ahou girls to
help her: Miss Julie Damon, Beatrice
Castle, Irene Fisher and Helen Lowrie.
A large truck hidden under mass of
lowers showed plainly the prominence
Of the Flower booth. Here flowers of
all prices and descriptions were sold by
i've young ladies who looked dainty
enough with their poke bonnets, to have
stepped out of Florodora company.
Miss Irma Woodward was the chief
1orist of the occasion. with Miss Madge
Gertrude Brown, Luvernel
Marshall and Florence Hall as assist
ants.
The Heart booth was rightly named,
or here were things for sale which put lI
he poet to shame when he said heart
.ouId not be bought by gold. Many an
observer lost his heart, and paid over
he counter good money to obtain new
me, and it is whispered around that the
-oung ladies in charge went home in
leartless way Miss Eunice Pratt with
Pratt, Alice Roth. Rennie
;atton, Alice Brown and Clara Will
Jams, conducted this sale.
