WOMAN'S CLUB
ASSISTS LIBRARY
The Bazaar Held Last Week Was
Very Successful

Besides Keeping the Library kunninS All winter
They Now Have Net Balance to
Their Credit Of $ll2
Thursday evening, April 10th, the
womsn's reading club eliminated
their labors in behalf of the public
library by a bazaar in the Academy
Of Music. The club members have
been at work for some months in pre-
paration for the event, and it was
successful even beyond their expecta-
tions. The hall was filed from six
o'clock till q late hour with the many
friends of the enterprise, and they
were indeed richly rewarded by the
entertainment provided.
Meslames Fenton, w. 81. Bush
and Wright presided over the booth
where coffee and sandwiches were
served. the booth being gaily deco
rated with flag bunting, and the re-
freshments served were beyond re-
proach.
Adjoining this booth was snowy
structure, trimmed with cleaning
pendants and holly, where the pas
ser-by was invited to partake of ice
cream and cake, served by Mrs. Nc
Culley and Misses Mabel Crawford
and Ruth Eaton, the latter young
ladies substituting for Mesdames
Chas. Brown and E. P. Lawrence.
The candy booth, ariistically de-
corated in yellow and white festoons,
was in charge Of Mesdamss COUNSEL,
Pierce and Rowe, ably assisted by
Misses Maude Tyrrell, Hazel Rowe
and Maylon COUNSEL. The dainty
confections on sale proved extremely
tempting and the stock was exhaust
ed long before the evening closed.
One corner Of the hall was devoted
to the rummage booth where all sorts
Of things were displayed for sale,
from glasses of jelly to kid curriers'
and mouse traps. This booth was
we'll patronized also and was in
charge of Mesdames Walter and
McC cCartney.
Perhaps the most attractive look
ing booth Of all was the Japanese tea
booth, which was decorated in red
and yellow, with huge umbrella
suspended oyer the little tea tables.
Visitors were entertained and served
BY Mesdames Walter Brown and
Thompson, gowned in striking Jsp-
snese style.
The fancy work was beautifully
displayed and the ladies in charge,
Mesdames w. II. Ladd, E. ]. Walton
and f. L. Ramha1ter, were kept busy
making change, as the numerous
pretty things we're too tempting to
pass by. The booth was decorated
in pink, but really needed no adorn-
meut save the articles on sale, which
were, almost without exception, the
work Of the club members.
Up in the gallery a curtained recess
concealed the fortune teller, Mrs. j,
w. Bush, under the name of Madame
Blazatskl. She proved an adept at
the art and was visited by large
number who desired to learn what
the future might bring.
70 add TO the further enjoyment of
the visitors, the orchestra rendered
some Of their best music during the
evening, pleasure which the club
4 members sincerely appreciated.
The receipts of the evening were
shout $50 and after ell expenses
4 a sw,ere Y, met, the ladies have to their
4 credit SIP, which is indeed graft
fying result. The club had voted
( sarly IN the year to raise 500 for the
1 library and, thanks to the response
1 made b the people Of Oakes, this
D obligation has been fulfilled with a
I balance which will greatly aid in the
\ y yglofk 81 the coming year.
