Interest.
Members of Division No. 1, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, to the number
of about fifty, were entertained at
the Sacret Heart fair last night They
reached Catholic Library Association
Hall in a body about $50 o'clock, and
the majority staid until the lights
were out and the entertainment had
been called off for another day.
The special visitors found great
crowd of friends already at the hall,
and the numbers increased as the even
ing proceeded, until it seemed that the
place would be too small to accom-
modate them. The display at the
tables and booths was larger than be-
fore, notwithstanding the number of
awards that had been made, for mer-
chants and friends continue to make
contributions.
This. afternoon at o'clock the South
Carolina tea, in the refreshment divis-
ion, under management of Mrs. Du-
Pont and her very charming assist
ants, will be a feature All patrons of
the fair will be glad no doubt to try
the famous brew that comes from beau
tiful Pinehurst, near Summerville.
Mayor Myers Night.
Tonight Mayor Myers and the
board Of aldermen, and probably a
number of city officials, will be the
guests of the fair. The aldermen are
expected to meet the Mayor at the
De Soto and proceed to the hall for
supper. The Mayor has expressed the
desire to have all members of Council
present and no doubt this will be the
case.

and presents, attractively displayed.
greet the visitors to the fair. The
country store looked very much like
Wanamaker's ON a bargain day and
the energetic proprietor was working
like man with six hands The flash
ing sign on the front is a wonder.
Pretty Mary was missing from behind
the counter-but she was discovered
in another part of the hall and was
still interested in the trade, having
likely come out to keep an eve on
competition.
The smoking room is hailed with de-
light by many men, after vain at
tempts to escape with car fare from
the dainty representatives of the va
rlouS booths and tables. The smoking
room was decorated by Lindsay &
Morgan. At Mrs. O'Connors table
hundreds paused to admire the ex-
ceedingly beautiful oil painting, the
work of Mrs. Joseph Cops. In the
knights of Columbus booth Mrs.
Brooks was exhibiting, among the new
contributions, a pretty gold chair a
Victor talking machine, from YOU
mans & Leete, several hand made out
hts for babies, gorgeous enbroider-
ed sofa pillow and an exquisite hand
painted claret pitcher. The doll house,

tracted attention and interest.
