men not only in the state, but outside,

pillow elaborately embroidered with
roses.

overfows half Of the great building and
in handsome case at the other end
is a splendid showing Of hand-painted

In the center of the, cookery exhibit
is an enormous loaf Of bread, fourteen
feet long and weighing 800 pounds. It
was made from Minneapolis flour by
a st. Paul baker and excited the ad-

not understand how it was made and
baked.
There. were 1900 entries in the cook
cry and needlework department., gain
of 500 over last year, and Mrs. Luther
notices an equal gain in quality. There
is everything the feminine and mascu-
line brain can imagine in the way of
embroidery, fine needlework, crocheting,
knitting and patchwork. The revival

matists have made use of in many
years, namely The Woman in the

and most memorable events of past
theatrical years. Her coming has al

usual anticipation, and never was the
waiting in vain. Modjeska's produc-

ing, because they were carried out in
accordance with classic ideals, and
were directed by the actress splendid

ers will be no less pleased than in the
past because, this being her final tour

pains that the impression that she has
always created shall be no less favor

WASHINGTON CLUBS MEET.
Federation of Women's Clubs Now in
Session at WalIa WaIla.

The/Garden City was honored yes
terday by the coming of mary "f the
most cultured ladies of Washington,
the delegates of the federated clubs
of the state, says the Walla Walla
Union.
The federated clubs of the state
number so, representing at Ieast 1900
members, who have taken up the
work of civic improvement, industrial
training, library extension and other
works of a philanthropic nature
whose influence have been felt
throughout the state.
One of the special features of the
federation work is the collection OF
washington history. The collection is
deposited with the University of
Washington at Seattle. 1t is collected
for the purpose of being given into
the hands of a historian, to be used
for the benefit of Washington for all
time.
The federated clubs are not all the
clubs in the state. To be federated
club a club must submit it's consti-
tuition to the state board, which ac-
cepts the club If its constitution does
not conflict with the requirements
No club having a secret initiation
can join the federation. All federat-
ed clubs must make a program for
the year and pay tax of 10 cents per
capita a year on its membership.
Washington, as well as can be as
certained, has the distinction of being
the home of the first womans clut
west of the Rocky mountains, and
| Olympia is the city bearing this honor
| The Olympia Woman's club was or
ganized at the capital city in 1888
