Home, on the State Fair Grounds
One of the most delightful redezv0us
1T the Louisiana State Fair this year.
as heretofore. will be the model coun-
try home and school. They are located
just inside the Fair grounds near the
main electric car entrance and are
connected by q model road.
Throughout the Fair. which will
open Nov. 2 and continue through Nov.
II, these buildings will be open to the
lady visitors. Open house will be kept
all the time that the Fair grounds are
open and every lady visiting the Fair
has cordial invitation to make the
model home her rest place. A number
of the leading women of Shreveport
will be in personal charge of the home
and will have attendants to assist them
in looking after the wishes of the dif.
ferent guests. Every comfort will be
provided for the pleasure of the L.
dies.
A particular feature of the plan Of
the Mothers Congress. which organi.
zation has charge of the model home,
is to care for the babies brought to
the Fair. There will be competent
nurses to look after the little ones
about the grounds and buildings. Ever
since the home was constructed the
nursery has been operated and it has
proven one of the most enjoyable fea-
lures, for it has been instrumental in
r:aking many mothers have a happy
time, which probably would not have
been the case had 1t been necessary
that they keep the babies with them
all the time they were on the Fair
grounds. The committee of ladies who
will have charge of the home promise
that every possible attention will be
given the little folks.
For the ladies the biggest attraction
this year will be the annual baby show
in which all children under certain
ages are qualified for entry. A letter
to Secretary L. N. Brueggerhoff OF the
Fair association will result in all the
information desired about this part ot
the Fair program. There will be sew
eral classes entered and scores OF the
prettiest and handsomest youngsters
in Louisiana will be exhibited Judges
who are well fitted to note the merits
OF the various children exhibited will
compile the different points and then
make the selection of winners. BASIN
