noon
Patty , happy as a butterfly , hovered over her treasures . She wore the immaculate white linen garb of a nurse , and very sweet and fair she looked . Later , Fleurette was to grace the booth and attract all observers by her marvellous baby charm . At high noon the bazaar was opened with a flourish of trumpets and a fanfaronade by the band . Farnsworth had given the services of a first class band as his donation , and the musicians made good . The scene was one of varied attractions . The place itself was lovely with its wealth of flower gardens and shrubbery and the unique and elaborate booths here and there among the trees made a striking picture .
