The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-10-08

ton building and making Tor the Wo-
mans department, in order to see the
wonderful articles OF all kinds which
are being displayed.
Most of these people were women
and children, but quite a number of
men were seen around the booths, for
today the cakes. pies. bread and can
dies were exhibited. and everybody
knows that good things to eat are of
vital interest to men, and then. too,
they are very proud of thor wives ana
daughters who have made these
things.
II took Miss Coleman and several
extra women nearly all the morning
to get the cakes, pies, bread and can
dies arranged In their respective places
and the prizes awarded. but when TINS
task was finished. it was. indeed, a
beautiful sight to see. Cakes of all
kinds. from the old-fashioned pound
cake. TO the latest thing in fruit cakes,
were there. The famous Lady Balti-
more Cake, in the most tempting
forms and artistically iced. we're
probably the best there. There are
rows upon rows of all kinds of bread,
loaf bread rolls, mullins, biscuits and
1t is well that there is a safe distance
between the railing and these tempt
ing things, for hungry fair visitors are
surely tempted TO SWlpe CAKE OF
a doughtnut there.
Pies in every variety are shown. and
II is evident that the Virginia cooks
have not lost their cunning in this
line. and the younger generation is
holding up the reputation of the state,
for many of the pies. cakes, etc, are
made by young girls.
Several hundred dainty boxes of
candy, ali tied up in pink and blue
tissue paper. are attractively ar
ranged in one corner of the depart
ment. and from the looks of them 1t
would be hard to determine which
would get first prize, Most Of this
candy is made by young girls from
every section of the State, and it would
make "A professional confectioner sit
up and take notice"
The prize awards were made yes
terday as follows:
