I ’his year, as the figures show, our fair for the benefit of Muhlenberg Hospital was more successful than ever before. In spite of the lowering skies, the auditorium was thronged, and the gay booths surrounded with crowds of eager friends.
The Hower table, as usual, held the post of honor at the head of the room, and beyond the banks of cut flowers one caught glimpses of the stage, set with attractive refreshment tables. On both sides of the room
was an array of goods that was fairly enchanting in prettiness and variety: there were the toy-table, showing an added daintiness of sprays of cherry blossoms; the garden table, fresh and green in its suggestions of spring
and St. Patrick’s Day emblems; the table that dealt in ties, banners, hand­ kerchiefs, baby dresses, and knitting bags; the boudoir table, with candle-
holders, artistic brass plates and exquisite creations of lace and ribbon; the candy table, piled high with good things; and last but not least, the Japanese table, under its wisteria blooms, setting forth tea and tea-sets, baskets and wicker-ware, and fascinating little knick-knacks from the East.

from their hearts to the call of the needy at home. 31
