The headquarters of the Minnesota
State Federation of Womens clubs prom
ises to be one of the most attractive
buildings at the state fair this week. AL
though the building was given over al
most entirely to the entertainment OF
Vice President Roosevelt and other dis
tinguished guests present at the luncheon
yesterday, and therefore there were no
demonstrations, the exhibits were all in
place, and very attractive display was
made. These exhibits are entirely
women's and children's work. Miss Alice
Paul Ray has charge of the register, and
besides such famous autographs as Theo-
dore L. Roosevelt, Gen. Nelson A. Miles
and Archbishop John Ireland, the regis
ter shows already the names of a
hundred or more visitors. Mrs Lydia
P. Williams, president of the state fed
GRAFTON, was in general charge yesterday.
She was assisted by the club women of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Today will
be Minneapolis day, and Mrs Williams
and Mrs. H. A. Tutttle, of Minneapolis,
will have charge Mrs. Tomlinson, of

will have charge Wednesday; Thursday,

Butts and Mrs. Herbert M McKusick;
L.
Graves will have charge, and Saturday,
the women from various parts of the

The tea rooms are in charge of Mrs.
Kingsbury, of Minneapolis. Mrs. Kings.
bury will serve tea every afternoon from
8 to 5 o'clock, assisted by a number OF
the club women of st. Paul and Minneap-
oils. These tea rooms, though tiny, are
exceedingly attractive. The round tables
were decorated yesterday with big
punches of flowers and the mantels were
banked with flowers.
Perhaps the most interesting exhibit
in the building, certainly the largest, is
the birds nests exhibit. A collection of
nests made by the different birds in Min
nesota; the eggs of the birdshand a num-
ber of the stuffed birds themselves are

lace trimming are shown in this exhibi-
ton, as well as some samples of sloyd
