thing apart. The houses in this new
city are Of various styles of architec-
ture. Some are palatial in size and ap-
pearance, while others look merely coy
n inviting. Never before have so
many notable ana historic buildings
been constructed in one group. This
new city might be called the City of
the States, for the houses included in it
are the state buildings at the Fair.
The city is not compact. but some
what Struggling, as BELTS the pictur.
e~squeness of the view. Yet there is
nothing suggestive of a S~tringtown-
on-the-Pike about this city. for the
grounds surrounding each of the houses
are beautffed with gardens typical OF
the state represented.
All the states are to be represented
at the Worlds Fair. This means a
great deal, a shining triumph for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and
furnishes another illustration of the
tact that this Eyposition's complete
ness is the marvel of the age.
tifty-one states, territories and DOS
sessions Of the United States have
taken the steps necessary to partici-
pate in the Worlds Fair on an imDor-
tant scale, But two states were still
outside tile fold at the last reDor+ ana
in each of these was a well! defined
movement in favor of being represent
ed at the Fair with buildings ana ex-
h1bits. New Hampshire, the old home
state, and Delaware are the states re-
ferred 10. In New Hampshire a fund
for participation is being raised pri-
Vateiy by patriotic citizens. so that in
the event OF legislative inaction this
commonwealth may be represented.
The states and territories are OK.
pending over $7,00O.0 coo in their efforts
to show off to best advantage at the
Exposition. This is a million and =
third more than was expended at the
Chicago exposition by the states. In
addition to this, large cities in many
states will have municipal exhibits, the
FUNDS for which are not included in
these figures. The municipal exhibit
idea Is entirely novel. From a number
OF the states there will be prominent
county exhibits provided by special ap-
preparation Of county funds.
This City Of the States presents q
picture Of surprising beauty. Nature
mas done much to aid in the creation
OF the picture. Never before has any
exposition been able to grant such adj
vantageous sites for state hnildings

about seVenty-fye feet higher than the
ieFel ground to the north upon which
stand the main exhibit palaces. There
are hills Il ravincs here and there.
enabling the landscapists to Law out q
most delightful pattern of roads and
terraces and lawns.
The smallest of the state buildings is
that OF Arizona. which stands near rbn
southeastern entrance to the grounds.
one or the largest is that of Missouri
from the dome of which it is said that !
perhaps the very finest view of the
exposition may be enjoyed. This
building IS a palace in the Italian re.
