Society people are taking an unus-
ual interest in the State fair this year
for various reasons. Even in the
mornings automobiles and carriages
are hurrying out to the grounds carry
ing smart looking women and girls,
who evidently want to "do" the ex-
hibits before the races are called. They
are manifesting an interest in things
agricultural as well as domestic and
artistic, but who wouldn't enjoy the
sight of a blooded horse or symmet-
rical pumpkin? The art department
has its exhibit upstairs in the building
for the vegetable and grain show. The
Ceramic art exhibit contains contribu-
tons from the work of Mrs. Marie
Price Wear, Mrs. w. c. McDonough,
Miss Kittie Lindsay, Mrs B. Howard
Stuart, Mrs. ]. Stricken and Miss
Katheryn LUX. There are vases and
dishes and bureau sets. done in flower
designs, conventional designs and pat
terms of every variety. In one of the
cases a large tankard. done in a corn
design, attracted a good deal of atten-
ton. Mr.. Albert T. Reid has made a
loan of a set of pictures to the art
department, though, of course, they
are not entered in competition with
the other work. Among those that ap-
peared to please the spectators most
were '"The Motor Grip and "a Good
Story by Good Fellow" There is an
excellent exhibit of pictures, studies in
still life. landscapes and portraits and
a collection of curios, besides big dis
play of embroidery, laces. burnt wood
and bead work.

ding is to take place this fall is telling
the pretty girl she has chosen for her
bridesmaid that she is counting on
making a match between the brides
maid and the best man This brides
maid is pretty and attractive enough
to have more affairs than she can
handle in way to- do justice to them
all, but the best man has been warned
that if he is to be Best Man for all
time, he must be- on his guard and
never allow himself to be 1ured into a
quarrel The witching maid may de-

creditably, there, will likely be a sad
