is beautifully decorated, and elabor-
ate arrangements were made for re-
cepnons during the day. While the
reception Of the commander-in-chie
! and his staff was the most imposing
event of the day, the receptions at
the depots of G. A. r posts and vet
erans arriving in other groups were
equally interesting. Special trains
arrived as fast as they could be
handled in the depots, and the local

The roads anticipate that their

the headquarters of the state de-

WOMAN'S WORK.
Probably the most important bust
