AN EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR
BY ANNIE KENpRrcK WALKER


 yesterday with the president, Mrs. Addi- son G. Smith, was an unusually charming and interesting occasion, inspired not only l by the brilliant presence of Mrs. William l A. Gayle, of Montgomery, the president of l the Alabama division, but by the enthusias- l tic interest of the members in regard to the | exhibit at the fair which will be made by l the confederate chapters throughout the | state.
 | Mrs. Gayle, who was appointed director of this exhibit by the womans board, came up from Montgomery yesterday to confer 1 with the members of Pelham chapter. She gave at the meeting yesterday most in- l teresting and enthusiastic talk upon the work in general, but particularly that part of the work she wishes the chapters | to take in the approaching state fair Mrs. | Gayle is assured of a large collection of relics which will be sent by the various | chapters and said that the confederate exhibit would be made in every way one of the most attractive of the fair.
 Pelham chapter will have immediate l charge of this work and will be responsible | fer the safe keeping and return of these | precious memorials. All individuals and 1 chapters throughout the state are earness- 1 ly requested to add to the interest of this l exhibit by sending relics to the committee l in charge. Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis was appointed chairman of this committee and | other committees will be appointed later. Mrs Gayle spoke especially of the relies which the Montgomery chapters would place on exhibition, and indeed empba- sized the cooperation of all the Confeder- ate chapters in the matter of making rare and interesting display of memorials.
