Autograph photographs Of the President
were in great demand by the chapters;
Three Of them, Laurel. Adelphi and
Floral, proudly exhibited the photo
graph Of the President on their display
counters, TO the envy OF the chapters that
had not landed one. The rivalry was warm
est between laurel and Adelphi. Both
had the Presidents picture. laurel had
an autograph copy OF his book, lhe siren

Vice President Fairbanks's autographed
nbotoRraph and a picture Of the White
House sent by Mrs, Theodore Roosevelt
with her card.

the opening day Of the fair, which Mrs.
Beattie suggested, was also the Most Worthy
