Mrs. Louise B. Dorr of st. Paul,
president of the local biennial board,
writes of some of the attractions that
st. Paul holds for its promised visitors
| at the biennial meeting of the G. F. w.
c. in May and June. She says, among
other things:
Without hustle or fuss the men and
women of the capital city of the en-
pire state of the northwest are already
/ carefully planning for your entertain
/ ment Clubs are requesting definite
| instructions, while the gentlemen are
/ limiting at automobile rides, trolley eX-

houn, Elmo, and Como, and last, but
not least, our big, saucy sister, Mime
apolis, will wink at you enticingly, and
probably cause you to forego some of
the charming programmes prepared by
the general board. Don't bring your
medicine chests, for St Paul is the
healthiest city in the world, SO says
our medal won at the Paris exposition
in 1900. You are sure to be well fed,

State of the nation. Well housed you
cannot fail to be, for the Irvine have
plenty of spare bedrooms, and you
will be granted the freedom of both
cities. AS you are entering st. Paul,
your eye will be attracted to a beauti-
full white dome, glistening in the sun
light. This is the dome of Minnesota S
state capitol building, conceded to be
one of the finest public buildings in
America, and in architectural design
and exquisite interior decOration-the
work of famous artists-unsurpas
by any edifice in this country. In this
superb building it is hoped that a
grand reception in your honor may be
given. The stately residence of Mr.
J. J. Hill includes what is perhaps the
finest collection of modern French
painting in the United States. Eleven
COrOts, of almost priceless value, are
among its treasure At this and at the
fine public and private galleries OF
Minneapolis you will doubtless be
made welcome at stated times.
Excursions to the Yellowstone, to
the coast, and to various midway
