Carolina JTKuaic llall Bower of
Radiant Aeautj and Iarg-o Sum
Nettel for Worthy Cause.
iNTlCIPATED by the
entire Village for
months past, many of
the hotel guests and cot
tagers being connected
with the work of prep
aration, the annual Rose Garden Bazaar
of the Village Club proved an occasion
of enjoyment and delight for the entire
colony and the financial success beyond
the expectations of the most sanguine.
Perfectly carried out in every detail, the
hall transformed into a bower of radiant
beauty with varied attractions and novel
ties, the occasion happily combined, a
scene of color and an event of pleasure.
With the swinging back of the doors at
two o'clock in the afternoon until the
jovial auctioneer sold the last article to
the highest bidder standing room in The
Carolina Music hall was at a premium
and the dollars flowed into the coffers of
the Club' to later swell the school fund
which is to be devoted to the education
of the native white children.
Among the most novel of the attrac
tions was Madame Zera (Mr. Paul E.
Gardner), u Crystal Gazer," who arrived
at The Carolina the night previous creat
ing a profound sensation in her strange
garb . as she made her way to the hotel
desk. In fact so startling was her ap
pearance that there is every probability
that room clerk Wingate would have
suggested her going elsewhere but for
the fact that she was recognized by peo
ple of good standing in the corridor.
In the tents of the Arabs Madame Zera
is counted a beauty, and her red dress
draped with silver scarfs, orange
silk stockings, large gold crescent ear
pendants, pearl necklace and lavish dis
play of rings are objects of delight,
but to the somewhat quiet throng en
joying the evening parade on "Peacock
Row" the dainty damsel was a bit over
done. '
Tuesday night, however, she was at
her best, a booth in one corner of the
hall being assigned to her where she
held forth attended by Mr. H. H. Klrk
patrick and Mr. Robert E. Stone, read
ing past, present and future from a
mystic crystal which spun and spun
ceaselessly in the weird light of her re
treat ; now soft and tender as a woman's
eyes, now dark and sullen like a rising
storm, ever changing like a living thing
as it reflected the emotions of the seeker
for knowledge.
Of a different character but most
amusing, was u The Big Gaboozzlle " in
charge of Mr. J. F, Cassidy whose ability
in this line is significant of a great
future. Separated from the hall by a
high screen was the startling collection
of oddities, a wealth of literary master
pieces in the way of posters, proclaiming
to the multitude the wonders within with
megaphone barking of the most approved
style by Mr. Cassidy, the exhibit itself
Name and Proud of It," a monster
potato ; " New Jersey Bat," a ,brick.
Good old New England fair days were
recalled by the cane and ring booth
where one secured three rings for a dime
with which there was always a possibil
ity of ringing a souvenir cane, certain
canes being tagged, drawing more elab
orate prizes, Mr. Ralph Gardner officiat
ing. The grab booth where a nickle or a
dime was dropped in one tube and a mys
terious package came shooting out of a
larger, proved a drawing card and the
supply of toys on sale here were gone
long before the bazaar was half over ;

Close at hand was the silhouette booth
where Mrs. Lucy Richards cut, free
hand, dainty silhouettes from coated
black paper which were later pasted on
white cardboard mounts by Mrs. Booth
Tarkington and Mrs. Leonard Tufts,
making artistic souvenirs.

UESDAY afternoon's
ball game between The
Carolina and the Village
teams was in line with
fast play which has
held the crowd for weeks
past the Village team winning, ten to
eight.
Eastman although hit hard at times,
pitched a good game and six of the ten
runs made by the Village team, were on
bad errors of The Carolina infield. Gladu
pitched a fine game for the Village get
ting out of some bad holes by good head
work. For the Village team Fitzgerald,
Bilodeau, Gladu and Clary starred while
Howard, Norris, Eastman and Capt. De
Roen worked hard for The Carolinas.
Morris, Howard and Norris took off the
batting honors of the day while the all
round work of Fitzgerald, Madden and
Bilodeau was a feature. Bilodeau made
a sensational catch in the seventh of a
hard foul lly back of third base, taking it
with one hand while on a dead run. Bob
Edmondwhobrokeafingei in last Thurs
day's game against Southern Pines, will
be out of the game for three or four
weeks. Cal Edson who is taking his
place, is doing fine work considering he
has not had any practise this year.
