Mecca of a worlds musfclans, the build-j Ing of which taxed to the utmost the I knowledge of great architects in aeous-' tic matters, resounded last gvenlng to the happy discords' of county fair.

The 'Good Fellowship Club" of the Jordan Marsh Company had tAken the place over, and evolved a fair well able to rival the best of any In our most enterprising rural communities. Employes of the company, bringing with them sisters, cousins and aunts, flocked to the hall, and all was intense notso and extreme jollification. More than 6000 attended the Jordan Marsh county fair. The first thing that greeted the department store rustic upon arrival was the crowd and the din. Especially the crowd.

People, moving every which way, filled the corridors, and the main floor seemed covered with dancers. Especially the din. Gentlemen In silk hats and red silk coats, reminiscent of English hunting prints of the 19th Century, barked advertisement of the sideshows. Girls dancing outBide, each beating the time on the floor with an anglers pole, gave the public to know that there was a fishing pool grab. Then there- was the color.

Paper caps of all shades and designs were everywhere. Girls, clothed in the. soft colors of the East, slipped silently about selling cigarettes. Not too genuine colored gentlemen paraded not too genuine prison stripes. There were tramps in gaudy tatters, girls in the short, fluffy skirts of the circus rider.

Marvels in the Side Shows Booths lined the hallways. There the visitor could buy anything from paper caps to tambourines and second-hand books. Then reached the sideshows. The barkers would get him, or the sandwich man, Mark Marks, alias Si PerkMt of Derry, N1 dressed to the part. In the Bldeshows he would see many marvelous things.

There was the replica of the Madame Tussaud wax figure c( Napoleon the Great. This replica was puffing con-1 tentedly at a cigar. There was the King of Avona," also seemingly of wax. There was Paderewski. Premier and pianist, with his baby grand under his arm.

There was the Wild Man of Borneo, in a great black cage, gnaw- ing at a raw bone and growling at spec- tators. There were hand-organists with human monkeys, stuffy little policemen brandishing billies and, finally, there were the actors of the rustic minstrel show. And all of them, Napoleons, Paderewskis, wild men of Borneo, and human monkeys, all of them work by day for Jordan Marsh. In the main hall the happiness was there, but the discords were not so pronounced. In fact they were not pronounced at all.

For an orchestra in dress suits was rendering to perfection the latest music, while hundreds danced. Later there were songs by the club choral society. The hall was fringed with more booths, where dolls, lace aprons, crazy quilts and other odds and ends were sold. -Upstairs was the special camping ground of the older generation. A whist party was in progress.

In a larger room, girls were crying. Helens hot dogs and other refreshments. The balconies were filled with watchers of the dancing. 0 Officials of the Fair This entire entertainment, this, handling of a crowd of 50t. was entirely the work of Jordan Marsh emploves.
