WILL BIZ A GREAT EXHIBIT

at the Auditorium.
THE LECTURES BY MISS CROSS
They VIII Be a Special Feat
ure of the Affair.


The Auditorium, where the Whining
ton Food Exposition is to be held, is
now in the possession of the carpenter,
the plumber, the electrician, the dc.
signer, the draper and the decorator,
and when they are through with il the
effect will be something TO please tho
eye and gladden. the heart of the most
fastidious, The leading food manu-
facturers from 12 States of the Union
will make elaborate exhibits; but the
local firms, determined not to be outdone,
have for long time been making quiet
but careful and systematic preparation
and we predict that some very pleasant
surprises are in store for their many
friends. The idea of the exhibit, how
ever, is not to appeal TO the eye alone,
but to the ear and to the intellectual
faculties and to the palate as well.
While the beautiful effects in draping
and designing will please the lovers of
the art decorative, the brilliant talks of
the well-known lecturess, Miss L. w.
Gross of Washington, ID. c., on house
hold and cooking subjects, will afford an
intellectual treat, while the delicious
dainties which will be lavishly dispensed
will delight their palate and the strains of
sweet music stealing from the leafy
bower of the orchestra will enthuse
everyone with feeling of coutentment
and good cheer. Miss Gross, although
at present a resident of Washington
and principal of the National Cooking
School there, formerly resided in VIII
mington and is well-known and much
admired in society circles here. There.
fore she is assured of hearty welcome.
The orchestra spoken of is the Royal
Hungarian Band from the Eden Musee,
New York City. These gypsies are Ger.
tainly unrivaled in the production OF
operate, dance and popular air music,
play entirely by ear and will be CARRIED
in the outlandish costumes Of Hungary,
with here and there a picturesque
touching of wild Zingari color. They
will give afternoon and evening concerts
daily during the entire exposition.
