The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1909-12-11
ST. MarY,s Razar.

The bazar has come and gone, and it
was a great success. This is scarcely
to be wondered at, when we consider
that Rev. W. K. Ryan was at its head,
and he succeeds in any matter he takes
up. But his push and brains, great
though they are, would be of little use
had he not at his back the Catholic la
dies of the parish, and they, to use an
! apt phrase, worked wonders" From
early morning to late at night their one
| thought was the success of the bazaar,
and not only during the time the bazar
was held did they give the willing serv-
| ice of their minds, hands and pockets,
but for weeks before their every day
was one of striving and anxious thought
! that the work in hand might have a IA
vorable issue. Itlhas had a favorable
issue, and His Lordship, Bishop Scan
Ian, and his clergy appreciate to the full
| the efforts those good Catholic ladies of
Salt Lake have made. Mrs. J. O'Connor
had charge of the lunch department,
and that same lunch department was
| just a wonder. Everyone was so pleased
at the good things put before them, and
everyone came away with a smile on
their face and those words on their lips,
What an excellent lunch Mrs.
O'Connor, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Gala
and the other ladies who worked with
them so well and SO tremendously, are
to be congratulated on the success
which crowned their efforts. Mrs Bur-
bank had charge of the flower booth,
and hard it was to pass out the door
without finding a flower either in your
hand or your button hole. She was ably
assisted by number of young ladies,
and they had their eye to business, while
all the young men had their eye on
them.
Mrs. Quigley, wife of that amiable
gentleman, Mr. Charley Quigley, had
charge of the doll booth, and we are
sure that many youngsters in Salt Lake
City are blessing her. for they have now
sweet doll on the rocking chair, or
Santa Claus has one in his pocket for
them, placed there by a lady who is
kind to everybody and kind to children.
Mrs. Farrell had charge of the punch
booth. The punch was beautiful, the
consumers were many, and the effects
of the punch was exhilarating on all
with the exception of one. 1t put that
person to sleep. Now, you are guessing
who that person was. Well, you are
not going to know.
Miss Marjorie Mulvey had charge of
the gypsy booth, and she made a for
tune out of it. We do not know had she
her fortune told her by the gypsy, but
may her fortune in the near future be
some good, honest fellow, who will
journey with her down life's road.
Mrs. Laramie did wonders. She would
see you coming at Schramm's corner,
and would have for you the thing you
didn't want. You bought 1t all the
same, and left the knights of Column
bus stall just some few dollars out of
pocket, but so happy.
Mrs. McGanney had charge of the
parish booth, and everyone bought
something from that amiable lady who
takes such an interest in church mat
tiers.
st. Patricks booth was magnifcentIy
managed by Mrs Bryning and Mrs. Sui
Ivan, and no Shylock could resist their
persuasive eloquence. The All Hallows
booth was capabIy managed by Mrs.
Morrison. She had all things there from
slippers to cameras, and so lifelike were
some of the pictures that one of them
met us at our door,
Miss Gibbons had charge of the candy
booth, and she did roaring trade. Fa-
Their Ryan thought it was too roaring
sometimes, and he went to still the
youngsters, but only added to the roar
Mrs. Wescott had charge of the tea
booth, and look, she just gave you such
another cup of tea as you would get in
dear old Ireland. 1t simply knocked the
cobwebs off your heart. We cannot men
ton the names of all the ladies who
worked so hard to make the bazar a sue
cess. They are too many TO enumerate
All we can say to them and about them
is-thanks, thanks, from our inmost
heart, and as the American says, You
are fine''
Mr. Tom Vaughan and Mr. Rody
Powers took good care of the shooting
gallery. Men don't want praise, only
an odd time and if we praise both gen.
tlemen now in saying this we are sure
they will forgive us. Both gentlemen,
it seems to us, have missed their voca-
ton. They should have been long ago
on one of Uncle Sans warships, and |
then, OH God help the world
Good old st. Mary's, prosper, proceed |
and reign under the Cody banner of |
faith, hope and charity
