Little Hazel Taber, the ~10-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Taber,
at Elko, and granddaughter of Mrs.
E. S. Harrington Of this city, has at
tracted much attention in San Fran
cisco. The cause of it all is the dis
tinction Hazel achieved by the fact
that she was the first child to enter
the exposition grounds on the open
ing day. Hazel, accompanied 10y a
grown friend, was one of the first at
the gates Saturday and when the
enormous crowd saw the fair little
lass, eager to see what was going on
inside the big grounds, they did some
thing that an army of policemen could
not have caused them to do-they
made way for her and allowed her to
be one of the first to enter. As a re
suit she was photographed by movie
men close by the side of Mayor Rolph
OF San Francisco, and other big mel
on the opening day. Now Hazel is
one of the proudest girls in the gold
en- state and wears her new dignity
in an altogether delightful and at
