fered Encouragement; Dec
OrationS Going Fast

Not the least among the many who
Teioiced over the early arrival Of the
Wilhelmina this morning was Director.
general James Z. Dougherty and the
directors Of the Carnival. For on the
I Wilhelmina were the scores of cos
tunes ordered from Germany for the
masquerade events of the Carnival,
and there has been a great easerness
for the costumes to arrive that they
might be put on sale by the middle OF
the week.
asst night when it was thought the
,WeIhelmina would not arrive until
this evening, Director-general Dough
ertt estimated that the costumes could
be taken off the ship as soon as she
locked, and put on display for sale
or rent by noon tomorrow. Now that
the ship is in II hours earlier than ex-
petted last night. the costumes will
be- on sale by at least Wednesday
morning.
they were taken from the ship to
the building formerly occupied by n.
S. Sachs Company at the corner of
Fort and Beretania. and there they
will be sold or rented. There are Ian
terms, Mosques and many Carnival
trappings with the costumes, and the
prices range from a few cents to sew
eral dollars.
The decoration committee opened
store in this building yesterday. There
many decorating materials are offer
ed for sale, bunting, flags, leis. but
tons and many other things. 1t is the
first time the Carnival has branched
into this field, and it was done only
because of the conviction that it would
result in the city being better deco
rated than heretofore.
There are flags of all sizes. and the
bunting is in the Carnival colors of
yellow and green.
Emil Berndt, chairman Of the deco
rating committee, issued an invitation
today for everyone to visit this store.
