A SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR

ST. JOHN'S WOMEN'S AUXILIARY. Te Awamulu Town Hall presented an animated scene on Thursday when St. John's Women’s Auxiliary held their first bazaar. Those who patronised it found infinite variety, tine bought lollies from Anne's Candy Store, served by ladies of the powder and patches period. A few steps transported the buyer to great-grandmother’s day and she bought clothing etc., from the Christmas Shoppe. A jump and we were with “ Mrs Wigg's of liie Cabbage Patch ” who allowed us to dip in a fascinating tub for unknown treasures. Tittle girls were drawn, as by a magnet, to a stall where they could buy everything for Miss Dolly, from clothes lo furniture for her use. They were served at this Tudor Stall by ladies from Queen Elizabeth's day. Poke bonnets met us in “Ye Olio Market Place,” where we were able to buy produce of all descriptions.
