PERSONAL
~ ENu1NE regret has been cx-
A pressed by the hosts and nos
- tesses Of the State Buildings at
~ the Jamestown Exposition
over the departure early IN
the week OF Governor and Mrs. swan
son, who have occupied the Virginia
l3uilding since early In June.
Virginia has been declared at tho
cXposlttonto be most fortunate IN nav
ing a. Chief Executive so courteous ana
cordial to all. as Is Governor Swanson,
and praise is heard on all sides for
inc gracious hospitality extended by
MIN and his WIFE Governor and Mrs.
swanson have been the recipients or
much attention from the commission
ers OF the States, and 1t is matter OF
comment and pride among Vlrginians
that they IRE seen in the receiving
line on all State occasions.
TO say that Mrs. Swanson has Won
the esteem Of all who have met
her Is but half to express the impress
sion she has made by her graciousness
and unfailing cordiality To her must
be given the credit OF inaugurat'ng q
series of late afternoon sails on the
bay. which have proved an unusually
pleasant diversion. Every afternoon
at 5 O'clock q merry party of guests
have met at the deepwater pier, where
they have boarded the yacht Commo-
dore Maury for sail to the capes.
Delightful sea breezes, gorgeous sun
sets and the magnificent spectacle Of
the exposition grounds illuminated
have rendered the return voyage very
enjoyable. The last Of these excur-
stons took place on the Fourth Of July,
when the sail back from the capes was
rendered doubly brilliant by the dis
play of fireworks on the ships and ut
the exposition.
Mrs Swanson will be heartily well
coined when she returns for the Rich
mond Day celebration, on July 18TH
after weeks visit to Mrs. John Swan
son in Danvlle.
