An outline of plans for the proposed
exhibit Of the Worlds Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union Department
of Juvenile Work at the Columbian
Exposition has already been published.
Mrs. Josephine R. Nichols, of In
dianapolis, Ind, who will have charge
of the w. C. T. L. Booth, kindly
agrees to aid US in securing the needed
space, and | count on your sympathy
and help in carrying out what we hope
will greatly build up our department
and exert an influence for good at the
Exposition.
While we hope for many contribu-
tons from foreign countries, we must
naturally depend largely on the United
Stetes for a successful exhibit, and IN
these days, when the avenues for use
fitness are constantly increasing, when
head, heart and hands are more than
busy, we can not begin our work fol
the Fair a day too soon.
Therefore, may l urge those who
have the children's department In
charge, everywhere, to commence the
practical carrying out of our plans al
0nee, and in the following manner:
1.-CHILDREN' AUTOGRAPHS.
Procure card board of good stiff
quality that will not easily bend OF
break, and cut into cards 3x2 inches
in size, on which secure the autographs
of all your temperance boys and girls,
one name on each card. These cards
fastened together will festoon the
Headquarters of our department.
If card board Of different colors can
be found, use an equal number each Of
red, white and blue cards in every
Juvenile Society of America, and IN
the same manner let each county use
its own National colors, employing
white altogether if no other can be OBJ
tanned. To obtain uniformity in size
and colors, send, if possible, to the
Woman's Temperance Publishing AS
ISOLATION. who will sell the cards fOr
these autographs at the following rates:
Ioc. per package of 80, assorted
colors.
CSC. for 3 packages of assorted col
ors, by mail.
In ordering address W. T. P. A..
I61 La Sale ST., Chicago.

bers of our societies, any boys and
girls who have signed the triple
pledge of the Loyal Temperance lie,

can be presented in our Total Abstl-
hence Chain and in the contribution:

will make one of the most significant
decorations in the Exposition.
