By Dorothy '$arker
I could'n`t it 'agree, less
g with the
author of a recent article who
suggested we abolish
the ?etlurcli
bazaar. Her argtunent, was that
this form of money -raising
effort for any -cause was be-
neath the intelligence of mod-
'erg woman.

at the tireless co-operation of
a large group of wee iezi, it was
during the six weeks of prepar-
ation that preceeded that sale.
Bazaars are not all pot hold-
ers and baby socks. They are
an annealing process for tem-
perament, a breeder of conten-
tions that must be amicably set-
tled giving stature to individ-
uals and finally, they are a
proving ground for friendships
and social demeanor.

angels (at least all .those angels
sitting around planning that
bazaar) fear to tread.
Be Original By All Means
This bazaar, I decided, was
going to be. different. 'I fired
my committee's enthusiasm with
plans for a lampshade booth, a
felt booth where original petti-
coats for Christmas trees all
sparkly with sequins and cloths
for holiday cocktail tables
would be on sale. Cocktails!!
