BAZAAR NOTES.

[Contributed.] Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm, they say. And how well we realise it! Get enthused more yet, ladies and gentlemen, and wonders we will accomplish. Improvements and more improvements to be made. Help the Bazaar and put Foxton on the map. Now, be sure and have a good look at the carved table in the American stall. It is a beauty—the work of Mrs P. Condon, _of Shannon. Mrs Condon’s ability in carving is recognised far and wide, and it w T as decidedly fortunate for the Bazaar to have enlisted her talent. “Oh, ye great big beautiful doll!” This is the’ great Belgian doll donated by Mrs Duff to the Belgian Stall. The tickets on this doll have been going like hot cakes. Do you wonder? A big doll, the idol of the kiddies, and dressed in the Belgian colours at that. One of the great articles to be raffled is the magnificent handpainted screen. To see it is to love it. Thomas Bowe, our public-spirited citizen, has donated a dressed pig to the General Produce Stall. And as ho knows a good thing when ho sees it, we are sure that it is going to be a big fat one. Excitement will not be lacking—and wholesome laughter, neither — during the coming Bazaar.; Next Tuesday will be the opening day of the Bazaar. Our Mayor, Mr John Chrystall, will open it at 3 p.m, A really handsome and firstclass “two decker wedding (?) cake,” made by Miss Woodroofe for the Sweet Stall, in connection with the Monster Bazaar next week, is on view in Mr G older‘s jewellery window, and is attracting much attention. We suggest now that, as the cake has been made, it is up to the jewellery bachelor to make the ring. Miss Lorna Woodroofe is as busy as a bee, and has been so for many days past. To meet her at her home' is to sec a young lady entirely absorbed with the one occupation of making candies and sweets. And how well she knows how to make them every Foxtonian can tell. Undoubtedly the Sweets Stall will have a great run. Albert, King of the Belgians, wo greet you. The Empire and the world, recognise that you have saved them from destruction. Did you notice the big picture of the noble King in Betty’s window?
