THE EVENING BAZAAR
Great Crowd of People Attended the
Evening Opening of the
Ladies' Bazaar.

Ladies' Bazaar.
While the Ladies' Bazaar vas for
mally opened Thursday afternoon the
large attendance did not con- until
the evening, when practically all OF
the room reserved for seats was Occu-
pied by the people. The small ad-
mission fee charged at the door will
add considerably to the general re-
ceipts of the Bazaar. The early part
of the evening was devoted to in
speeding the booths, and the people
afterward went to the seats to wait
for the lightning of the entertain
ment.
The managers of the booths i'm
proved their opportunities to sell
their goods to the greatest extent and
they were able to make disposition
of a large quantity of goods. The
lines that are represented are Of a
nature that the people buy readily
and in several instances the supplies
were disposed of long before the even
ing was over with. The ice cream
and lemonade stands, on account Of
the very cool evening, did not have
the opportunity to do the business
that would otherwise have resulted
had the weather been much warmer.
The entertainment that was given
was very enjoyable. though the pro-
gram was brief. The program was
opened with a piano duet by Misses
Marjorie Ruth and Perle Richards,
playing a duet that was finely rem
dered by these two capable pianistes.
Miss Myrtle Lee, a soprano singer Of
great merit, sang a double number,
"Thy Beaming Eyes" and 1.-The
Vow" both of which were presented
in a very capable manner. She re-
sponded to the hearty applause with
an admirable selection. Mrs. NJ. N.
Lee presided at the piano as accom-
PIANIST. Howard Rev recited a hum
orous selection that took we'll with
the audience, and in the selection the
young boy was heard to good advan-
tage. 1t was a sort of a character
sketch and he brought out the anus
ing parts very nicely. Mistress Mil
dred Healey danced the Highland
Fling in a way that elected generous
applause from the audience. She was
dressed in a Scotch costume and in
giving the various and intricate steps
of the dance she was graceful and
easy in her movements. The little
mistress is a Mitchell product but
lives at present in Cincinnati, Ohio,
where she acquired her art of dancing
the old Scotch favorite. In Cincin-
natl she gave the dance at a public
entertainment recently. The little
lady surprised her friends ty her
ability to dance the Highland Fling
so we'll.
Miss Ruth Youngman rendered a
piano solo with much taste and skill.
Miss Youngman is a thorough stu
dent and lover Of tie piano and her
p laying brings pleasure to the listen
er from the fact that her heart is
wrapped up in her art.
The c.Osing number was a quartet
selection by the Misses Lee and Til
lotson and the Messrs. Briggs and
Kratz, when they sang clark, Hark
Ny Soul' a beautiful sacred number,
by Shelley. The voices of the quartet
blended we'll and the number was
sang in a fine manner. Mrs. R. n.
Kratz played the accompaniment on
the piano.
lhe last number was the signal for
the breaking up of the audience and
while the people wen1ed their way
out of the corn palace slowly they
made another round of the booths.
The first day was a splendid sue
cess and the ladies feel very much
encouraged over the interest dis
played by the citizens Of the city in
endeavoring to swell the fund set
aside for the purchase of books for
the library. Don't lose sight of the
object of the Bazaar and 60 both af-
ternoOn and evening, and if necessary
make some purchases for the future
if you haven't any particular use for
the goods at the--present time.
