Bazaar FUNDS FOR
DOMESTIC SCIENCE
st. Mary's Sodahty to Hold
Three Nights Fair =

arrangements are completed for a
three-day bazar which will be given
under the auspices of st. Mary's So
dal1ty, and which will open in the Y
M. Il. A. & B. hall Monday evening.
The hall has been artistically decorat-
ed and the booths are charmingly fit
ted up with a variety of attractive ar
ticles.
There will be an entertainment each
evening, followed by dancing, Lynch
ana Dunn's orchestra furnishing the
music.
Miss Agnes Fox is general chair
man of the bazaar, and Miss Mary
Conlon, chairman of the booths. The
Following ladies, with a corps Of as
slstants, will be in charge of the diff
ferent booths: Misses Annie Coffey,
fancy work booth; Florence Dough-
erty, tower booth; Agnes Finnegan,
refreshment booth; Mary Woods, doll
booth: Mary Donahue, art booth; Mol
ly Egan, candy booth; Lucy Doherty,
blanket booth: Katherine Woods, spe-
cial prize booth: Sulie Murphy, treas
urer's booth. Miss Mary Campbell has
charge of the entertainment
Rev. John T. Winters. and Misses
Margaret Sheehan, Marguerite Tracy.
Margaret Settler. Sulie Murphy and
Margaret Bagnell, officers Of the So
dality, will act as a reception commit
tee.
The committees have worked ener-
getically to make the bazaar successful
in every detail, and the indications
are that it will be one of the most
delightful affairs ever given in the
city. AS the receipts from the bazaar
will be used in financing the domes-
tic science work in st. Mary's school,
it is expected that the patronage will
be equal to the worthiness of the pro-
iect.

ment and expansion, but especially
for terminals; the growth of traffic
and the high cost Of land in our great
cities making the problem an exceed
lngly difficult one for solution. For
the present obstruction to much
needed railroad development con-
gress and the Interstate Commerce
commission are chiefly responsible
and the American people should place
the blame where it properly belongs.
A striking feature at this time is
the large increase in new corpora
tons, the total for the current month
promising to be exceptionally heavy,
especially in copper and petroleum
companies. This great demand for
capital reflects our astonishing busi-
ness activity and seems destined to
continue Indefinitely, provided no Sc
rious shock to confidence occurs. APP
parently the supply Of capital is far
from exhausted, which is very re-
markable, considering the amounts
absorbed by domestic enterprises, as
we'll as foreign loans and repurchases
Of American stocks held abroad dur
ing the past twelve months. The only
rates demanded and obtained for new
capital. Great Britain for instance,
whose obligations rank foremost
among the nations of the world, is
paying more than double for money
compared with what she paid before
the war. Thus far these enormous is
sues and the high returns have not
resulted in any visible congestion or
the security market but it remains to
be seen what will be the effect upon
old lines Of investments. IT may re-
suit in more liberal sales of high
grade issues for exchange into some
of the more attractive new ventures.
Diminished stock exchange activ-
ity was without special significance.
The hesitation generated by Decem-
ber's collapse is wearing off, and a
good undertone prevails. Business
conditions continue satisfactory and
promising, despite the quiet usual at
this season. The exceptionally large
number of new corporations and flo
tations Is good evidence of confidence
in the future. Money is abundant
and industrial conditions are con-
steadily absorbed. SO far as financial
and industrial condition are con-
cerned, the outlook warrants con-
tinued hopefulness: but it must be
remembered these are remarkable
times; far-reaching events are going
to extremes never dreamed. and
shocks in either foreign or domestic
affairs must be expected at any NOM
emit This means that caution and
discrimination Should be pra cticed in
