The Faiir
1 he auditorium was transformed from its state of solemnity into a fairyland of spring and flowers. It was the Annual Hartridge School Fair
and all was in readiness for the throngs of purchasers. Around the room booths had sprung from nowhere into beautiful realities.
As soon as the excited sellers could reach the booths, their wares were in demand. Great crowds rushed to the divers tables and hungry children made their way to the stage where refreshments were served by
prettily costumed Sophomores. Gorgeous flowers, some on a table, some tied on lattice work, others placed across the whole foot of the stage, Avere sold by attractive Seniors, supplying the demands of a sudden influx
of customers. The Juniors managed the candy table, from which no one escaped untempted after crossing the threshold of the room. Miss Ten nant’s beads, the fancy work table and the large doll booth enticed many a young lady. The Grab Bag, a very popular fortune-telling booth, and the mid-way received generous patronage. Every part of the Fair added
greatly to our joy in working and giving for the happiness of the little sick children.
