The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-10-01

to the few active women Of the auxil-
larry who have successfully carried it
through. With Mrs. Croft, as president,
there is small band of energetic wom-
en- who bear all the burden and do
most of the work, and such feature
of the yearly events has it become that
this time it is to be open to all the flor
lists of the state, and much money is to
be given away In prizes. In former
years we were advertised to the world
at large as place where an ice palace
could stand from the last of November
until the last of March. Gradually the
men who were interested in the ice car
j nival came to realize that 1T was not
best for st. Paul that this fact should
be so widely advertised. But everyone
can see the advantages of letting it be
known that we can have a successful
Hover show here in November. 1t Is
surprising to the manufacturers and
the auxiliary to discover how widely
known it has become in a short time,
and the interest shown in the affair
East and West is exceedingly crafty
ing to all concerned. This year the
flower show is to be larger and better
than ever. All the members of the
auxiliary should make it a point to be
present this morning at the meeting,
and on time.

In all probability one which is In line
with the study of sociology which it
has been making for a year or two
