Arrangements are being rapidly com
pleted for the great and only" library
fair, but as items of interest in con.
nection with the enterprise have beer
published from day to day, little re,
mains to be chronicled in this column.
Mrs. Fred A. Miller has consented to
assume direction of the baby show,
which assures the success of this
feature. Owing to the limited time
at her disposal, she finds it impos-
sible to see every mother personally,
and will appreciate it very much if
those who are willing to assist the fair
in this way will communicate with
her. AS the bachelors of the city can
not furnish babies, they will be ex-
pected to provide the prizes, and are
responding with liberality to this
requirement. They will not be con-
demned either to hold or judge the
infants, however, as the contest will
be decided by popular vote. The chill
dren Of the public schools have the
grab-bag as their special feature of the
fair, and will make or contribute arti-
Giles for it's fascinating contents to a
value not exceeding 10 cents. The
country booth is expected to prove a

ested are especially urged to contrib

charge Of the fair find it impossible to
conduct the work other than in this
way for lack both of time and op-
portunity.
An important meeting of the Altar
society was held Thursday afternoon,
with Mrs. Huempfner, the ladies who
assisted in entertaining being Mrs.
Clarity and Mrs. Ross Hansen. This
society was organized on the 9TH of

at the home Of the late Mrs. Carpenter,
who was always an active assistant in
every good work in her church. All
married ladies in St. Lawrence church
are eligible to membership and over
seventy participated in the first years
work Of the successful organization.
To Mrs. T. H. Butler, the retiring pres
ident, much credit is due for the re-
suits obtained by the young society,
the last and most brilliant of which
vas the installation, at considerable
expense, of an electric lighting system
for the church altar, which was first
used at Easter. The effect is beautiful
beyond description and to Laramie be-
longs the prestige of possessing the
only altar in the state SO illuminated.
At the annual election on Thursday the
following officers were chose for the
ensuing year:
President-Mrs. James Cordiner.

month in the future, and on June is

ton. The ladies voted to assist the
young ladies' of the church in conduct,
