success, indeed It exceeds the expecta-
tions of the ladies in charge Next

Ocala's many annual attractions.
A great many have remarked that
this fair is equal TO a much larger
affair. for one is given so many SOU
venIrs and other articles by the mer-
chants who are taking great interest
in the work.
The decorations are beautiful and
artistic. The agricultural booth, which
is in charge of Mrs. J. r. Moorhead, is
adorned with the pennants of the to-
mato club and pictures of the club

ed in pink and green crepe paper and

and fancy trimmings were on display.
Their speciality is the Barry shoes,
pair of which was won by Miss Nellie
Gottlieb in the drawing yesterday.
The booth of the Ocala Plumbing &
Electric Company, in black and purple,
and with electrical fixtures lastly dis
played, made a very pretty effect. The
Carn-Thomas booth is in yellow and
among the many good things to eat

The. Japanese and the Woman's Club
booths were very pretty in Japanese
decorations with fancy articles. The
Ocala Grocery Cos. booth was in pink

in ones mouth, made that place very
attractive yesterday afternoon. Mrs.

proves that while she shines in a pal
ace, she could do her duty in a cottage

most attractive display. Mr.. H. A

store. A. NJ. Lansford furnished
sweet-toned pianos for music in a
booth trimmed in white. McIver &
MacKay's booth was beautiful in pink
chrysanthemums, white and yellow
crepe paper and a special display OF
white enameled ware.
The Tetley tea booth is without
doubt the prettiest one, as all the
wisteria with which it is trimmed was
handmade by a committee of the Wo-
mans Club, and it looks so real that
one can at once see the amount OF
work and patience it required to make
it, also the lattice work of green pa
per for the window and around the
sides Of the booth is hand made. A
large japanese umbrella is suspended
over the top and with Misses Meme
Davis and Katherine strunk as Jap
anese girls to serve the tea, it was an
ideal spot yesterday

ner and placed it in a very good posi-
ton on the wall The poinsettia being
the club flower. it was most appro-
pirate.
The ocala Gas Co. furnishes the
stove for Miss Harris to bake rolls
for demonstration, and Mr. c. w. Hun
ter is the busiest man there, as he
hunts up everyone to present them
with souvenirs for all the booths as
well as his own. In making the an
nouncements as master of ceremonies
he never misses an opportunity to ad-
wise the housewives to cook with gas
Miss Harris lectures and demonstra-
tions, made for the Woman's Club and
with the help OF the gas company are
among the most instructive and in
teresting features of the fair.
In the back OF the building on the
stage are three beautiful booths, one

Camps, is decorated ia blue and white
with lace draperies and large mirrors
The next is Helvenston & Pasteur's
and Miss Affieck's, which is in pink

were a profusion of flowers, and with
the models, who are among the lead
ing ladies of the city, displaying the
picture hats and dresses of the firms
made that part OF the building look
like pages from a fashion journal.
The ladies OF the Woman's Club have
worked faithfully to make the fair q
success and all are well pleased with
the result Tt is thought that at least
they will net $500 from the fair. and
they are planning on a much bigger
scale for next year. Each and every
member deserves unstinted praise and
