Usual interest shown.
Surrounded by her maids of honor

The Baby Show has an extra
younaster and doesn't know what to
do with him, according to E. E. For
roster, who stated this afternoon that
the child had been found wandering
about the grand stand and had been
brought to the tent where the Baby
Show is being held, in the hope that
the PARENTS would inquire there. The
taby is not more than 2 or years
old, but fair officials say he is per-
fectlv satisfied with his new home,
and the fact that he is lost from his
parents doesn't seem to be worrying
him at all.
Preparatory to the presentation of
