1.-THE Guild bazaar at the Auditorium
ought to be as popular as the Midwin-
ter exposition" said man last night
1T is fully as good show for less
money The Auditorium was never so
attractiVely decorated and the pretty
girls and agreeable matrons in the
booths give all the interest of a society
event"
The best feature of the bazaar is that
1t isn't the usual holdup. The adnnis-
sion price is only ten cents for which
the visitor gets an excellent musical
programme and tal5leaux vivants, and
the 7. w. can make this the limit of
his expenditures if he wants to-, be-
cause although there are many things
for sale and attractive girl bankers and
vendors nobody feels forced to buy.
The management sought particularly to
keep away from the usual sandbag
methods of the average. church bazaar,
with the result that the Auditorium this
week is really an agreeable, place to
spend the evening and man can visit
1t without having his pockets picked.
The booths are very prettily gotten up
with flags, qpennantSs artificial flowers.
