all things modish. and so Will the days
of the Fair find the roads between town
and fairgrounds-good roads they are,
too, and we'll nigh dustless-fairly alive
with cars rushing back and forth with
their freight OF gay passengers. Every
body falls into the spirit of the occa-
sion. Young matrons who are at home
In the ballroom where the tango and
the trot flourish hest may be seen al
most any afternoon just as ioyously
escorting small Dorothy or Paul. all
sticky with popcorn and happily DIS
playing red and yellow balloons or "A
toy animal of uncertain race. Or you
may see them on day which is not
nursery day just as gaily entering into
the merriment of the fair with a party
of other young married folk viewing it
all--not only out of civic pride. but be-
cause of the fun of the thing. Tho par
ties of c dozen young folk like the
Fair best when they see 1t together,
though there are many witnesses of 1t
"a la twosome.' .f
Motor parties lead always In that di-
rection in Fair week. SO that the grand
stand with Its thousands, gathered
from rural sections and small towns as
well as from among the homefolk are
given quite an air of smartness as well
as good cheer. So there are few who
are not anticipating the opening IF the
Fair with sensations of real pleasure.
Almost everyone will be there and all
whb go will catch the spirit of the oc-
casion and have a tremendously good
time.
The Birmin CHAM artists are busy pre-
pairing their display for the woman $
building. It will be remembered that
last year Miss Hannah Elliott had ono
of the most beautiful and conspicuous
booths in the building. 1t was not only
filled with fine examples OF her work,
but was so tastefully decorated as to
show the paintings to the very best
advantage. Miss Carrie Hills paintings
will also be recalled and the admirers
OF this ambitious young woman will be
glad to know that she will show some
of her very best work. There are many
we'll known house wives who expect to
give examples of their skill along do
mestic lines Yesterday a party Of
friends of one clever South Highlands
matron went to ner home to Inspect
her collection of jellies. preserves and
pickles before 1t was sent to the Fair.
and it was found to be an exceptional
assortment, with every imaginable va
riety of fruit and vegetable in the col
lection. Another matron of prominence
is making even the curtains which are
to hang in her booth and as they arc
of handmade lace they will be the envy
of all who see them and love the rare
things which are the creation of deft
fingers. The work of other women
evidence of their skill and patience in
these fine days of the simplifying of
machinery--will certainly not be least

women at the State Fair.

University Society Tenders Dinner
and He is Guest Of Party at
Theatcr in Evening.

The members Of the A. d. T. Liter
airy society at the university gave an
informal dinner at the Commons build
ing last evening in honor of v. Stef-
ansson. the Arctic explorer, who was
once a member Of that organization.
Mr.. Stefansson gave q short address
at the gathering last evening and he
talked on Athletes rs Explorers"
The speaker declared that the men
who have taken part in athletics do
not seem to have as much endurance
when it comes to these trips as other
men. Mr.. stefansson told about a
number of fellows who had made good
track records in college and he
thought that they ought to stand lots
Of walking and strain. but on the con-
trary he found that the athlete is
able to stand less hardship than 9TH
ers. He also spoke Of the fact that
1t takes a long time to go on a real
expedition as 1t Is impossible to dis
cover anything worth while when
trying to make haste.
Following the dinner last evening
the entire crowd went to Polly OF
the Circus at the Metropolitan. upon
an invitation from Judge Percy
Crewe. another alumni member Of tbs
A. q T.. society.

this evening and will 90 straight ia
