has been expended in this department
TO bring it to the very high state of per-
lection to which it has attained.
To properly provide for such vast
number and variety of plants as have
been exhibited in the department of
Horticulture it has necessitated the
erection of numerous and extensive
greenhouses. Immediately on the west
OF horticultural hall stand these build
ings, forming in themselves minia-
ture city of glass-covered houses. In
these at the present time are to be found
treasured for transportation to fields
afrcsh countless bulbs and plants
which have served to beautify the won
derful city of white. Here at all times
we may find strolling to and fro arm in
arm and hand in hand couples whose
sentimental air suggests the romantic
story of loves young dream. Love and
flowers always go together.
There are other pleasant places where
signing SWANS delight TO roam with
the dear creatures in whom all their
hopes OF future happiness lie. Away
up north among the state buildings are
several gresn and coy spots Just cal

culated Tor the sacred avowal-quint
verandas overlooking grren lawns and
retired hooks where busy sightseers
are not likely TO intrudc. Ali many
are the heart stories that have been
murmurcd soft and low within the
gates of that magic city by the lake,
and many are the fates that have been
sealed beside the still waters of the
hmpid lagoon.
An attractive spot for the searchcr
after historic lore is the Washington
house, in the northeast portion OF the
state building section. Tucked away
In the funny little rooms are the old
household treasures OF the first presi-
dent of this glorious republic-pianos,
paintings and bric-n-brac in the last
stages Of decrepltude which in their
day were considered the finest in the
land; chairs, tables, etc, which are
held us too sacred 10 be handled by
careless hands. The house, the grounds
and all are reproduced MS nearly like
the original homestead as human skill
could make them.
Situated on the north lagoon close by
is another historic feature. II is the
Walton lodge, quaint little cottage
erected TO commemorate the great
deeds OF the immortal IsaalS, the patron
saint OF fishermen.
Few visitors Mt the fair in passing
the quaint little cottage seem TO recog-
nizc the import Of its mission or the his
toric interest connected with its name.
When the members OF this Chicago
fishing club determined to have an ex-
hibit which should illustrate and en-
hance the usefulness of their art they
wisely chose for their building model
of the fishing cottage which Isaak Wal
ton and his adopted son, Charles Cot
ton, erected on the banks of the River
Dove in 1874, and which, after all this
lapse of time, still stands as an inter
esting reminder OF the great apostle Of
piscatorial pleasures.
Here within the last few days the
disciples of the great fisherman have
held contests OF skill in the art of cast
ing the fly, and beautiful and valuable
prizes have been awarded to the victo-
rious contestants. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful if the father of fishermen ever
beheld in his day such feats of skill
with the rod and line as were performed
on these occasions.

A NEW IDEA.
The Club as Means of Getting Women
Out of Their Homes Once Week.

Oub VI lHelT ltOIIleS oUft week.
An experiment is being tried which
will be watched with unusual interest
by those who are conversant with it.
A year and half ago club was organ
lied among the women living on the
east side of New York city. The
genesis of this club was due TO the fact,
borne with tremendous force into the
mind of an observer, Of the heavy
monotony of the lives of the women in
that region. With limited means it was
impossible for them to have any diver
sion that cost money. Their rooms
were so small and crowded that there
was no opportunity for no social life,
even in the immediate family. 1t is no
uncommon thing to find woman who
for weeks at time does not go down
to the street level, her nights and days
being spent within the walls of the
rooms that she calls home. Others are
found who never oxn bonnets, because
the extent of their mitigations is to the
front door step. is it any wonder that
some grow dull or stupid or irritable
under these conditions?
Women's clubs, it has been snid over
and over again, have been made means
of education and development to those
who have every social opportunity, and
who have had educational opportuni-
ties as we'll 1t was deemed wise to try
the experiment of woman's club for
such as had neither, and so one was or
ganized. The dues were placed at ten
cents per week. This paid for the cake
and coffee, that were always part of the
establishment, and left margin be-
sides. At first no attempt was made
beyond the purely social end for which
the club was established. Quite frank
ly it was said; This club is organized
to try 10 get you out of your home
once a week, because we believe that
to break in on the monotony of your
lives, to meet different people, to have
this little diversion, will make you bet.

essary to go into the history of the last
year and a half, but certain it is that
the results have justified the belief tina,

established among the wives of work
ingmen would make happier homes. =
