To-day's Enter:tainm tel; BE

THE Flower Carnival last night achieved
its greatest triumph since It's opening.
The assembly hall was crowded with
gay throng Of beribhoned girls, hand
somcly attired women and snartly
dressed men, presenting in Its tout en-
semble a scene of the most lively ANNA
ton, in which people seemed to have
gathered for tho mere pleasure Of living,
yet with a subconscious desire Of help
ing in n worthy cause. Had there been
another 1ennyson who could have been
present at the scene, there might havo
been inspired another Dream OF Fair
Women"
Every booth, presided over by jealous
patronesses had all tho business that
one could well ask for, and with all the
superficial and very evident enjoyment,
there. was no lack of a generous untying
of the purse strings l{@.F.l3,f
