ly at 2::30 Tomorrow; Busy
With Decorations

The women of the Outdoor Circle
worked like troopers today moving the
properties for their fete from the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Atherton
at Alapai and King streets to the
National Guard armory in Hotel street.
At brief meeting in the armory this
morning the women announced that,
with the exception of the live animals.
TO features of the fete viii be omit
ted.
Experts will transform the interior
of the big armory into q vertiable
bower of loveliness. Plants, flowers,
palms, flags and bunting will be used
in profusion and, best of all, blustery
weather will not interfere with the
success of the affair.
The children's pageant will be pro-
dueed as originally planned. Hun
dreds of laughing, happy youngsters
in dainty costumes will make merry
on the wide floor. But the ZOO" will
have to be deleted. Live animals are
not allowed In the armory. But 1t
was announced today that probably
some other feature will be worked up
to take the place Of the Zoo" and
one which may prove just as inter
esting.
Pageant Starts at $3.50.
The fete will begin at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, and the children's
pageant will start promptly at 2:3O
