were interested In the Northwestern
hospital are presiding very gracefully
at the large bazaar which was opened
today IN the art gallery Of Mr.. and

tomorrow morning and afternoon. While

more beautiful and more general, and
the work Of the women shows in, a
hundred and one pretty little TRIES

talns, pictures and tapestry make fine
setting for the, tables, which are laden
with laces, dainty silk, fluffy knitted
garments, ornamental pieces and all
kinds Of odd baskets. = ~ IA. ~:

on his rambles around the world. The
baskets find such willing buyers that
