THE GREAT ELKS BAzAR.
Second Nights Success The Local
Lodge Is Booming.

Things were booming last night nj
1 the Elks bazar at the Assembly
| Rooms. and sales We're good. The
| decorations, which are SO artitsic, and
beautiful, grow on one, and the more
one looks the greater is his admira-
tion. Now and then little details that
escaped the eve nj first view reveal
| themselves with surprising pleasure.
There are numerous Ellss heads and
antlers i'm the room. The largest of
these is over Mrs. VIII Martins booth,
which has been mentioned previous
/ ly. A very pretty elks head is ever
the booth of Mrs. Gebhardt and tiny
head is over the booth Of Miss Nir-
ginia Mullan. This little elk looks
out upon all that is going ON and ad-
mires the pretty girls and comely ma
irons through eyes that are tiny elec-
tric lights. Miss Mullan has 250 prizes
nj her booth, but when drawn for
there will be some blanks. II was a
mistake to say everybody will get
something who takes chance AT Miss
Mullan's booth. This has been her
custom heretofore, bat not on this
occasion. Those assisting Miss Nir-
ginia Mullan are Mrs. V. b. Mullan,
Mrs. Brookc-Sewell Misses Gladys
Mullan, Agnes Lamb, May McGraw.
Helen Russell, Tillie Duvall and
Paul Clancy.
The faithful guardians of the door
deserve much credit, for it is all work
with them and no pleasure. These
earnest, business-like and faithful
doorkeepers are Messrs. Alfred Nj.
Parkinson and Frank Jewell.
Mrs. Mason and her efficient corps

Last night another delicious supper
was served with turkey and chicken
added to the menu. The tables are
attractive and the service is excel
lent. As a rule the Elks take their
supper at the bazar instead of at home
this week. And what of the Elks?
They are the most generous, the most
liberal patrons of the bazar. 1t is safe
TO say that there is scarcely a man of
the local lodge who has not spent as
much as $40 or $l5 so far, and some
have spent $50.
New donations are coming in daily.
A beautiful combination bookcase and
writing desk from prominent Balti-
more firm was received yesterday. a
unique article at Mrs. Gebhardt S
booth is presumably n picture of two
old men playing pool. Press a button
and 10, the picture becomse wine
case, behind which are decanters and
glasses. The change is as complete as
IL is surprising. This is being raffled
at chances for 10 cents.
The ice cream served at the bazar is
delicious and the homemade cake is
the best ever tasted. The Japanese
booth, over which Miss Lulu Som
mers presids, had the addition of n
number of small Japanese umbrellas
and the ladies had changed their Jap
anese costumes and looked sweeter
than ever. This afternoon was chill
dren's afternoon and children were
admitted free. Friday will also be
childrenis afternoon and there Will he
no admission charged for the little
ones from to p. m.
Tomorrow night is lslk's night in
deed and in truth. A large excursion
of visiting Elks is expected from Bal
timore and Washington, and fraternity
will be in the very air. The Elks
bazar is the biggest thing that ever
happened, and Annapolis Lodge. No.
622, Benevolent and Protective Order
of Iclks, grows more popular every
day.
The donations of flowers 10 the
Japanese booth have been very gener-
Gus. Several large jars of the most
beautiful chrysanthemums were sent
last night to this booth as a gift from
Rudolph Kaiser, florist. Today am
other liberal donation of chrysanthe-
NUNS of all colors were sent as gift
from GUIDE Bros. d Co., florists, l2l4
+ street, n. W., Washington, ID. G..
