SEAL OF fAN-AhERfcAN Exposition.
Pan-American Exposition for their dis
play on a scale never before attempted.
To show this interesting collection TO
the best advantage an attractive con-
~servatory has been provided, while a
museum, as an annex TO this, Will con-
tain finished products as well as rare
and curious articles 10 illustrate a va
riety Of features under the head Of
Foods and Their A~ecessories.'
ut is a fact wen known to experts
in exhibition matters that a scattered
display Of special articles loses force,
while a condensed exhibit Of a line OF
things pertaining to a specific subject
becomes educational. Now, as the OBJ
Ject is to increase the production and
promote the consumption of the things
called for, much trouble and expense
is justified in making this collection
unique and unparalleled.
1T Is intended to make the exhibit
Of red peppers the finest and most ex.
tensive collection ever made, with the
object Of demonstrating by special ex-
hibit connected with the accessories
OF food that Pan-America can pro-
duce all the red peppers consumed in
Pan-America- 1t is perhaps only known
to experts that vas quantities Of red
peppers are imported from Europe,
Asia and Africa every year because
Pan-Americans are not actively alive
to their W interest in this important
matter"

Since the "Fortnightly Club" numbers
nearly 200 members, OF the leading women
OF Woonsocket, and. besides these, there
were a number of guests from this city
and Pawtucket. some idea OF the char
acter of the reception may be gained. 1t
may be said at the outset, that the oc-
casion was marked by generous hospitali-
ty and large friendliness of thought and
attitude.
Mrs. Ballou received i'm the large draw
