the ladies of their families, and has
been foremost in her efforts to make
their stay at the Pan-American Expo
sition pleasant She is the social lead

but no one has worked harder for the
success of the exposition or cOntrihut-
ed more to the pleasure of the visitors
than this handsome and elegant WO-
man.
The Press Association of Florida is
here in a body. A special program
has been arranged for tonight in the

pirate music After music, there will

e. H. Butler, of the Buffalo Evening
News, will address the meeting on
Journalism, North and South" This
will be followed by an address by

subject is twentieth Century Jour-
nalism." Mr.. Painter, of the Florida
Agriculturist, and Mr.. McCreary, OF
the Gainesville Sun, will also speak.

Lowry, of the Southern Pythian, at
Tampa. will speak on "Fraternal Pub
lications." A paper will be read by
Miss Sara L. Harris on Women in
journalism"
The Florida people are thoroughly
enjoying their visit to the exposition,
and are gratif1ed to know that al
though Florida Day has been changed
four times, the ceremonies to-day were
most successful.
AS the exposition draws to close
the need of larger building for the
Louisiana and Texas rice kitchen be-
comes every day more apparent. Ii
mas been a conspicuous success from
every standpoint. he place has been
kept :scrupulously clean, the fare ad-
mirabIy cooked, and rice has been eX-
plotted in every possible way. The
first course has always been chicken
gumbO file soup, and this Creole dish
has become so popular that it W..
probably be Introduced on N0rLnerI
tables in the future. Another innOva-
ton will be the use of rice -four il
the place Of corn starch in ice cream
The rice flour is more nOurishing, anC
its presence cannot so really be ue
.teeted. Rice has entered into the
dressing of the roast chicken served II
the flee kitchen very extensively, ahC
has become popular both as a sepa
rate disn and as an accompaniment tt
other viands.
Colonel Eggleston and his corps o
assistants have done all in their poWe
to make everything pleasant ant
agreeable for their numerous guests
Though hundreds have been turned
away every day they have been treat
ed with universal courtesy and kind
ness. 1t is very much to be regretted
that more space was not given to this
the most successful experiment tha
has .been tried on the Pan-Americal
grounds. It goes without saying tina
every exposition in the future viii
have a rice kitchen. The sale Of tn
cereal has increased fifty per cent
throughout this section of the countr,
and II has been advertised through tn
medium of the press from San Fran
cisco to New York.
