Mm BOOMER, Managing Director J FAIR AND BAZAAR Community House Benefit a Financial and Social Success Booth Clean up $240. Brgan' Parade an Entertaining-Innovation THE Community House was in need of funds. This is the universal and necessary peroga tive of community houses. And the good ladies of the colony and the village who had it built resolved to make a dent in the debt by combining finance and pleasure in a way known only to the feminine sex. So an occasion was devised, which proved to be a social event, a pleasant afternoon, a great di version, and a money maker. Mrs. Craig and Miss Gray were the leading spirits, and and con scripted the talent and the handi work of the neighborhood for the good cause. For days beforehand the girls requisitioned the ranges of the town and fell to making sugar plums and many confections, later, to be bought for their own con sumption by the gallant youth of the town at siege prices. Thus they had their sugar and ate it too. The leaders in this sweet meat mobilization were Miss Abbe, Miss Tufts and Miss Bliss. Mrs. Arthur S. Newcomb and Mrs. T. A. Cheatham volunteered to man the booth. Mrs. Leonard Tufts and Mrs. H. W. Priest presided over a table of fancy needlework contributed by the ladies of the community which brought a good return and a ready sale. . Mrs. Craig had a pretty booth of aprons and towels and more useful if less ornamen tal, and contributed a good deal towards the fund. PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD The greatest single hit at the bazaar was the prettiest girl we ever saw, who in the guise of a gypsy simply coined the money telling fortunes. She must have had second sight, or a powerful insight into the past and prospcts of the boys, for they none of them seemed satisfied with one for tune. Some insisted on five or six, which made it interesting for the exchequer, and highly satis factory all around. Lending color and variety was a motley gathering of peddlars, picturesquely garbed, who fol lowed a parade, with an exhibition of the practical art of salesman ship, disposing of nobody knows what quantity of apples, and flow ers, and milk, and geegaws and pencils and such to an admiring audience. One lady for the time being insisted that she was a "widdy lady with 14 children who lived up 19 flights of stairs" and on the strength of that reaped a well deserved harvest. Everybody went. The place was crowded. Mrs. Mudgett brought over two cars of guests from Southern Pines, and our friend the gypsy had a large fol lowing from West End. Many guests from the Carolina joined in including Mrs. Arthur Meeker of New York, Mrs. T. T. Watson Mrs. C. F. Lancaster, Mrs. F. D. Speer, New York, Mrs. John H. Love, Roslyn, and Miss Madge Christian of Neewah, Wisconsin. The cottage colony was there en masse. The net return was $240, which makes a big hole in the funded indebtedness. COMING RESIDENTS Prominent People Buy Resident Lots in Pinehurst Among the investors in Pine hurst realty since last June are a number of special interest to the colony : Mrs. F. S. Dyer of Montclair, N. J., has taken lot No. 908 ad joining that of Mr. Geo. A. Magoon, who has just completed a residence, and will soon begin the erection of an elaborate Winter home there. Mrs. Dyer's son, Mr. F. W. Dyer, is well known on the links, and at one time held the cham pionship of Pennsylvania. An other individual well known in golfing circles, and in fact, in all the circles in which he has chosen to spin in is Mr. H. H. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. On the eve of his departure after a short vaca tion recently spent here, he pur chased the "Rosemary," some times known as the "Company house," which was occupied by Mrs. F. E. May last Winter. Mrs. May will have the house again this Winter, and Mr. Johnson buys subject to her lease. HOUSTON MAKES AN INVESTMENT Another sale of great signifi cance is that made last week to Mr. H. S. Houston, the owner of the beautiful bungalow known as "Fernleigh" next to the Pinehurst Chapel. Mr. Houston bought the plot adjoining his present holding on the South side and will erect thereon another house for invest ment. Mr. Donald Ross and Mr. James McNabb have also pur chased for investment. Together they have bought lot No. 208 near the residence of Mr. Warren Bicknell and will build for rent. Mr. C. C. Edson, whose family have occupied the "Dundee" for several seasons, has purchased this property from Mr. Tufts, and will make it his permanent home. The lot between the residence of Mr. R. E. Wicker and C. E. Hardee was bought by Mr. H. M. McKenzie who will sell the house he purchased three years ago and build a brick house on this new lot. In addition to those mentioned there have been several other sales which will be further re ferred to in next week's edition. Send The Outlook to your friends. It tells the story of the week and saves letter writing. Ask for mailing envelopes.
