BAZAARS,

TERRACE SCHOOL. The bazaar at tho Terrace School held yesterday afternoon and evening was a ■ great success! Tflo mothers who had already done nobly in tho way of providing cakes for tho afternoon tea, and making articles for sale on the work stall, turned out well to buy, and they might be met on tho road home again burdened with the prettily-fashioned paper baskets filled with sweets, which had been made in great quantity and variety by the girls. The appearance of the rooms yesterday repaid tho work expended on them, and tho candy room was particularly to bo admired with its elaborate latticework of green, and its peach-blossom decorations. Hero a brisk trado was done all tho time b.v tho young saleswomen. Tho tearoom was in charge of many of tho High School girls, daintily dressed 'in white,; with white mob caps and blue ribbons. Whito and green wero the colours of tho attendants in. the flower and toyrcom, and white and pink where the fancywork and

handkerchiofs wero sold. One room was dovoted to games and competitions," and this was filled with children excited and intent over various mysterious occupations. Tho boys shone mainly as doorkeepers and straying vendors, and a detachment of them t-ook 'charge of tho produce stalls in a very busi-ness-liko manner. . In fact, all the children seemed to be working with a will, and while -the-tcachers kept an eyo on tlioir respective stalls the young saleswomen pushed their sales with vigour and persuasiveness. 1 In tho evening a concert was given, arranged by Mr. Newton, and to-nifdit another is.to bo given under the direction of Mr. Dykes.
