The most brilliant function held IN
this city for years was the Art Loan

Fortnightly club Thursday afternoon

looked more bright and attractive
than it did that evening. The hun-
dreds Of 'edectric lights brought out

gadly decorated booths, the prim

making souvenirs for the curious
white brother and sister, the staid
and handsome colonial danes, fair
maids from the. land of Nippon, the
gypsy fortune teller, Scotch lassies,
all made a picture which it Is not the
privilege Of Bismarckers often to see.

have been able to see it. g9s .s.s.
