 The Woman's Christian Temperance union are for the first time maintaining a booth out at the fair. Yesterday they were inviting the visitors to have cool drink of water with them, and it was found to be served, both temptingly and picturesquely, from a rustic well and an ''old oaken bucket.' The bucket-quite a new one-was tied with white ribbons, the emblem of the organization, and dec orated, too, with a gourd quite like the most approved of country wells
 The booth is decorated in white, in keeping with the emblem and water lilies are caught about the shelf on which is scattered the literature of the organiza- tion. A petition for national temperance is kept for signatures, and many names were signed yesterday. A corps of prom inent women will be in charge of the booth every day. It is large and has a number of inviting chairs. drink of water and place to rest compose the invitation that they are extending to fair rf.it

 Everybody has had nice time.
 And
 We all wanted to stay just little longer,
 But
 Somehow school is a mighty fine place to get back to. after all
 Isn't it?
 It seems almost funny that we ever got tired of it.
 ''I can imagine how exciting it was to put sharp points on all those new pencils" said Miss Petunia Angelface. as she reminisced comfortably as she sat back in her big armchair yester- day. "1 used to love the red ones with rubber tips, but some of the chill dren like the plain ones better be-

Wants a Camera


 Has anyone of your Cornerites a camera she has grown tired of and would be willing to pass on? I have always wanted one, but I lost my husband sometime ago, and as I have two little babies I should not feel jus tified in spending money for anything that is not a necessity. It would af- ford me some amusement on holidays when l take the little ones to the park. It is very lonely for me sometimes, as my babies are not old enough to con- verse with me I should also like to get pattern for making childrens stockings from the legs of large stock ings. l have nothing to offer in re- turn except some old music which gladly will give to anyone who wants it. I have never written to the Corner before, but noticing how generously it contributes to it's readers in need | thought perhaps someone might have just the things l want and would pass them on 10 less fortunate sister.

 Among the women who are working out at the State Fair for a humanitarian cause are Mrs. Eugene L. Brown and Mrs. Robert Thach, and their corps or assistants, in selling an automobile Tor the Tuberculosis association.
 The touring car, handsome Paige Detroit, has place in an attractive booth in Exhibition hail. and yesterday three pretty girls interested in the sale who had sat down for moment or two on the running board, gave the car such an alluring look that several men who were passing by were moved to stop at once and buy a handful of chances.
 Mrs. Thach and Mrs. Brown are assisted by an irresistible coterie of debutantes in dsposng of tickets; and some of the most attractive matrons in society are also eheerfully assisting in the good work, different group going out each day
 The car will be sold for the sake of the crusade against tuberculosis conducted so admirably at the camp on Red mountain. It has not been difficult for the women who are in charge of it's sale to secure assistance in their work, for few can turn deaf ear toward such & cause; it is also difficult to refrain from giving the little that is asked of the groups who surround the car every day out i1
