EASTER BAZAAR A SUCCESS
Chfldren's PerambulatOr Parade, Flor
al Display and Music Are Features.


The Easter bazaar held at the Pres
byterian church Thursday afternoon
and evening, was one of the most de-
lightful events Of the season. Not
withstanding light rainfall, there
were present in the afternoon a good
ly number of interested ladies, and in
the evening the house was filled with
a gay crowd Of men, women and chill
dren.
One cf the prettiest sights ever wit
;iesscd was the parade at 1880 in the
evening, Of little girls wheeling small
peranhplatOrS with their doll occu
pants The little ladies were dressed
in white with ribbons and flowers of
the hue best suited to carry out the
color scheme of the decorations on
the doll carriages. So artistic and al
together beautiful was each one of the
little equipages that the judges found
it we'll night impossible to award the
prize. The sympathetic crowd, per-
ceiving how truly each little maiden
deserved doll, responded enthusiast
tically to DR.. Shepherds suggestion
that doll fund be raised to meet the
exigency. The beautiful prize doll,
which was presented with the compli-
ments of the Booth Mercantile Co.,
was then awarded to Alice Taylor. She
was dressed in white with blue rib
bOns, and the carriage was decorated
in blue and white crepe paper-and
blue and white flowers, and Miss Dolly
was also in blue and white. Follow
ing the prize awardment the other lit
tie girls each received a doll as the
gift of the people present. A very ori-
ginal feature of the parade was Flor
ence Crozier as the little old woman
who lived in shoe, and had SO many
children she didn't know what to do"
The doll carriage was cleverly ar
ranged to initiate shoe, out of which
peeped countless dolls, the little lady
herself was dressed in black, wore
cap and spectacles, and looked quite
careworn, as she wheeled the many
babies. Other carriages noticeable
for their artistic appearance were
wheeled by Alice Moulton, decorated
with rabbits and chickens; Margaret
Crozier, in pink and white; Martha
Richardson girl, in red with garlands
of pink roses; Helen Heiter, in red
and white; and Margaret Harlan. in

the evening added much pleasure to
the occasion. Mrs. Vessels of Long
mont, Colorado, delighted her listen
| ers with her rich cultured contralto
voice, with perfect accompaniment
by Mrs. Edyth Tucker.

the wonderful performance on the vio-
lin by Misses Pauline and Viola AL
fonte, also the violin solo by Cedric
Seaver, pupil of Miss Pauline AL
fonte, was favorably received.

Falls Floral company for beautiful
display of potted plants in full bloom.

pany, kindly allowed the flower COM
