The second annual Gardiner
Shrine Club Fair opened auspicious-
ly Tuesday night when hundreds
thronged the building on the hill to
witness first class entertainment,
marvel at the magnificent scheme Of
decorations, and to patronize liber-
ally the long circle of booths piled
high with toothsome daintics and
wholesome food. The walls and
stage of the main auditorium have
seen many wonderful decorations,
bAk never anything to equal those
for the Fair. The hand of a real
artist was evident in the seemingly
impossible. ana in the execution Of
the same in a characteristic success
full manner. The stage was trans
formed into a Veritable Garden of
Allah, the famous picture being car
ried out in minute detail even TO the
realistic pool Nth huge pond lilies
apparently anoat upon it. Flowers
abounded, and entrance was effect
ed through latticed doors. TIE gen.
eral decorations featured the Japan
csc note. cherry blossoms and tri-
colored Japanese pennants predom-
mating, while every electrical fix
ture was hidden by gay colored
Japanese lanterns lending to the at
mosphere an air of Oriental festi-
witty. Hieroglyphic characters
sketched on tenants We're another
unique and striking feature. Gardi-
ner people have already guessed the
originator of such a stupendo us
scheme for there is but one person
capable of such work. namely Mrs.
Ralph r. Littlefield, who has been
responsible for many wonderful
decorations at the Shrine Club, but
who has surpassed all past perform
ances with the latest achievement.
The entertainment group was well
received auguring well for ,he re-
naming nights. The first number
was Madame Marguerite Boas, we'll
known lyric soprano in a cup of
songs. Madame Boas is late OF the
famous Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, and has a marvellous range of
tone, which was exhibited to adj
vantage in the songs selected Fol
