The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-11-08

The one place at the fair grounds,
where you see Pensacola people, and
people from all over the states of
Alabama and Florida, for that matter,
gathered into enthusiastic little
groups discussing the success and pos
sibilities of the splendid show, is the
to everybody.
It is a place full of artistic works
and attractive display; a place par
ticularly interesting and appealing TO
Pensacola people, because, indeed, 1t
is so thoroughly Pensacolian! Count
ing the Woman's department as
booth, there are Is booths IN all,
everyone a credit to city many times
the size of Pensacola, and with bright,
fine people in charge of them.
You can easily spend an entire day
n the Woman's Building, in fact, and
be thoroughly interested all the time.
And that is precisely what every pup
lie spirited Pensacolian should do, IN
order to make q carefully survey OF
the really fine work submitted by the
ladies and the children, and to appre-
cfate the enterprise, energy, and good
| live business tactics displayed by the
| local merchants who have placed
booths there.
The entire length of the building. on
| one side, is devoted to the Woman
department, with its display of wo-
man-craft, and a truly marvellous dig
play it is, when you consider the time
and patience which is represented in
| the entire gorgeous collection.
The Woman's Department.
Under the most efficient manage
ment Of Miss Kate Smith, and through
her very laudable energy, the Wo-
mans department has grown almost
magicaIly into a thing of unusual
beauty and interest.
Here are to be found the most tooth
some and delicious cakes and pies anc
ielIies and preserves; homemade
candies; salads and breads; every
thing known to women, skilled in the
culinary art, in fact, and a silent pu
eloquent argument in favor Of th'
really worth while woman, who takes
sufficient interest in the health anC
the pleasure of her family to pertec
herself in good cooking.
Here are also to be found baby cap
and wonderful laces; fancy work, II
fact, in all of its various designing
water coloring and oil painting; quilts
intricately "pieced:" plain and fame!
sewing; paper flowers; antiques; yo'
have enough to enthuse and surprls
you for hours.
Miss Smith and her assistants hav
had a world of work before them Il
accomplish all this, and their praise
. are sounded on every side.
