The society women of Chicago are
giving charity bazaar this week, the
Streets of Paris, which makes our little
old Topeka church bazaars with their
Streets of Cairo and other Oriental
features as tame as a mush-and-milk
social In comparison. In Chicago they
sell not only tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites but champagne and other high
priced drinks which would never get
past the w. c. T. u. censor and they
give vaudeville performances that would
put the average music hall to shame.
The Streets of Paris seems to be the
regulation charity hold-up-40 prices for
everything, no change. and tips openly
solicited; all the participants spending
three times as much money for booth
decorations and costumes as they take
in for charity. helpless men dragged to
the show against their Will and forced
by fair brigands in comic opera cos
tunes to buy what they don't want at
rageOus anywhere. Still. the Streets of
Paris is about all there is doing in Chi
cago this week and all the big daily
newspapers are full of it, with page
write-ups, literally illustrated. Society
has suspended all it's other diversions
for the week because everybody who is
anybody is attending the bazaar at the
Coliseum and nobody has any time to
come out, get engaged or married.
