NOT In many yeans has society been
o wholly absorbed as with the ar
rangements for the County Fair,
which culminated bo suc-esfully last
evening. Plans have been so utterly ab
sorbing that all other affairs were for the
nonce canceled. Garrets, old trunks and
camphor-wood chests were ransacked for
rare and bizarre finery, and the results in
the sartorial line were In some instances
beautiful, and in others weirdly wonderful.
The Armory proper resembled an em
bryo Exposition Trail, with its countless
sideshows, Oriental booths and Interesting
attractions presided over by fantastically
garbed sponsors and spielers. Meister
slngers. hurdygurdies, the shrill cry of the
denizens were Interspersed with charming
snatches from "La Boheme," given by the
four University clubmen, who impersonat
ed the artist, poet, musician and philoso
pher. Possibly the most complete meta
morphosis of costuming wa.s that effected
by Mrs. Helen Ldd Corbett. -Mrs. Rose
Blocii Bauer. Mr. David T. iloneyman and
Miss Helen and Henry Iidd. who repre
sented strolling Italian musicians. Mrs.
Bauer, who sang to the accompaniment of
the hurdygurdy as ground out by Mr.
Honeyman, made a decided hit. Mrs. Cor
bett, In the arb of a penurious Italian
mother, tollowed with the two ragged
children. Another remarkable costume
was that effected hy M;k ISsther Good
man, who appeared aa Jllle. Lena de
Luna, the veiled mystery. Every nation
ality was represented, and the makeups
were veritable works of art, of which
professionals might well take note.
Another innovation was the group of
Irish peasants, who moved about the fair
in picturesque costume led by Miss Lulls
Hall, assisted by a fiddler. The baby
show was another popular sideshow,
which included a group of 1 prominent
girls and bachelors. Miss Alta Smith and
AIlss Margaret Walter wera dressed as
twins, as were Kenneth Beebe and Robert
Strong, Miss Jean Morrison, the tiny baby
of the group, was wheeled about in a per
ambulator and was delightfully cherubic
In a French baby frock cap and boot
tees. William Warren appeared as a
colored baby. The model dairy farm with
Its picturesque attendants, presided at
churns, and led by Mrs. Mae Dearborn
Bchwab gave the milkmaids' chorus from
-Robin Hood." Adding to the realism
of the dairy was the presence of a cow
loaned for the occasion by Mrs. H. W.
Corbett.
Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett, who Is re
sponsible for the suggestion of this splen
did fair, has worked indefatlgably for
some time arranging excerpts from "The
Midsummer Night's Dream" which was
cleverly enacted by the girls from the
People's Institute, who are of mixed na
tionalities from 12 to 14 years of age. At
last the most mysterious and the
most beautiful woman of Portland
was discovered to be Mr. Lester
Hodson. who assuredly merited the
allegation, attired In a wonderful
spangled robe, chic chapeau and Jewels,
wiiile his loveliness was further enhanced
hy the luxurious surroundings, and roseate
and becoming hue cast from the subdued
Oriental lights. Mrs. David T. Honey
man. aslted by Mrs. David C. Lewis,
presided at the flower market, where she
disposed of quaint, old-fashioned bou
ouets held in plai-e by the equally stilt
carved pane'" holders of our grandparents'
day. Mrs. James Mel. Wood Is respon
sible for the tableaux vlvants. which were
exceedingly popular. A great frame, six
tur eight, weighing over 75 pounds was

used to show the pictures which were
further enhanced by a thin gauze. To
carry out the idea of a county fair bucolic
costumes were worn by many, particularly
accurate being those donned by those pre
siding at the country store. A more com
plete account of the County Fair appears
In another portion of today's Oregonian.
Suffice to say that the bazaar will go
down in history as a signal success, as It
promised to be ' ever since Its Inception
under such prominent and Indefatigable
management.
