FUN THERE WAS APLENrY. {
At the St. Elizabeth Ladies' Aid Soci-
ETY. Bazaar.


His Royal Highness King Fun, in all
his joyful splendor, held court in How
land hall last night. The bazaar OF
the st. Elizabeth ladies' aid society
was on and the old monarch of mirth
reigned supreme. From the time the
doors opened shortly before eight
o'clock until the last tired but happy
merrymaker had left noar midnight,
music aud laughter rang up and down
sleepy Main street for several blocks.
If there weren't 500 at that bazaar
there wasn't a single solitary one, and
everyone at least smiled all night long.
1t was a success beyond even the most
daring hopes of the ladies in charge.
Upon entering the hall the crowd
was first confronted by the refreshment
table presided over by Mrs. John Pa
pin. Mrs. +. X. e. Archambault and
Mrs. James Bruya. The only kick
these ladies furnished was when any
one dared disown thirst.
The sunset in San Francisco and the
latest hat from Paris may be beautiful
but they are eyesores compared to
the next table one faced. Pie and
cake, not the plebian kind but tho
aristocrats of piedom and cakedom and
preserves and jellies and un -mumm!
What a sight, what sight Mrs. r.
J.. Gladding, Mrs. Agnes Williams,
Mrs. Patrick Brown and Mrs. John
Carrick, who were in charge OF the
disposition of this treasure, were kept
on the jump every minute until the
table was empty.
Mrs. Robert Q. Mcdonnell and Mrs.
John B. Kelly had charge of the apron
table which came next, and right here
let il be said if those aprons have
any influence on the cooking of the
wearer. then Mr.. Barre is due to wax
fairly obese for the next couple OF
months.
Then came the fancy work table.
The display on this table was we'll
named for it was nothing if it wasn't
fancy. Heaps of pretty, lacy, frillsy
mysteries piled on this table disaP-
peared in no time. Mrs. Barre revealed
a decided weakness for fancywork.
Mrs. John 0Leary and Mrs. }. W.
Stewart had charge here.
and whoever saw a bazaar without
lollvpopss Why ii youldn't be a ba-
zaar without the old reliable suckers,
and so here they were. Mrs. John Z.
Hobsn. Mary Hoban and Mildred Ian
der disposed of the joy-sticks. Every
body wanted to know what their name
was or whether or not they were due
for the "mitt. and so the fortun-tell-
er was kept busy all evening. Mrs
Edward Owens did the communing
with the fates and it was little rest
she had.
Miss Julia o'Havan and Miss Eunice
Mclaughlin had the candy table Did
they do much sitting down. just ng-
ure il out yourself. Then for those
with the angling weakness there was
the fish pond. and. the beauty OF It
was. IL was open season on everything.
Mrs. Mary Mackie and Miss Mary Can
ming dealt out the poles and lines. Last
Of all the big table up in the corner
was A =ort OF cleanup affair. Every
