BuY Your Christmas Presents open
For The Eight More Nights
Amid the most attractive surround
ings and under the most auspicious
circumstances Except the weather)
st. Mary's big bazar opened last
night in st. Mary's Hall.
Never before has the commodious
hall, the largest in the city, looked
more beautiful. The decorations, and
hundreds of additional electric ligh IS,
have made it a bower in fairyland.
On entering, the sight is almost be.
wildering. From the opposite end of
the hall, apparently stretching away
into the dim distance, is a garden
where vines hang from above, and
where there is a luxuriant growth"
of exotics.
Tall palms, rubber plants, grace
full ferns, smilax and running vines
sway and bend in the breeze"
created by the flow of sparkling
water that springs from fountain
in the centre of the garden. Z"
Lattice work screens summer
houses" where ice cream is served
and beautiful grotto is at the
far end of the garden. The whole
scene is very effective and inviting.
In the rear of the garden is the
smoking room. Here the men pa
irons of the bazar, may enjoy a quiet
smoke-far from the "madning
crowd" and amid patriotic surround
ings, for the smoking room is deco
rated with flags and pennants, and
very cozy.
The hall proper is thing of
beauty. A large bell of ivy green is
suspended from the centre of the
ceiling and from this BELLS surface
and interior, colored electric lights
peer from beneath tulips petals in yell
low and red and green. The effect is
very pleasing. Chains of red, white
and blue hang gracefully from the
bell to the corners Of the room, and
above the booths.
And what of the booths. They
are symmetrical, and there is method
In their arrangement. Grouped
around either side of the hall they
form a perfect horseshoe, and each
booth is constructed of white lattice
work in ornate design. The looths
represent the four seasons and one of
the Rev. Fathers of st. Mary's is in
charge of each.

deck, is tae flower booth. Here ferns,
hundreds of them, beautiful cut flow

booth for hours, and be interested.
Then there is the Maryland Booth"
in gold and black-Maryland colors,
and the Navy" booth, in gold and
blue. There is the fish pond, where
fishing is always good, and you are
sure of "catch" without having
to wait long. In the toy booth are
Christmas trees hung with tiusel,
and there is snow and holly, sug-
gestive of the Yuletide season fast
approaching.

personal management the success is
directly due. Generous patronage is

larger crowd will attend tonight.
