ming September 6. Numerous wom-
ems organizations throughout tie city
and State will be exhibitors at the

the most interesting departments of
the Fair.

convenience Of picnicers who may use
Il without cost. The rest tent viii
be attractively fitted up with easy
chairs. couches, etc, and II WIFI no
doubt prove a delightful resting place
10 hundreds Of tired mothers and chill
dren who have spent a strenuous day
sieht-seeing. II is thought that this
tent will be even better patronized
than II was last year as there will no
doubt be many women and children
who will stay over to attend the night
Fair which Is an entirely new feature
this year. Miss Mabel Fowler, gem
eral secretary OF the Y. W. G. A., and
Mrs. Lewis G. Thompson, chairman
Of the house and lunch committee In
charge of tho tent. will be assisted by
corps of volunteer workers.
one Of the most interesting exhi-
bitions. however will be that to be
held under the auspices of the Della
ware Association for College Women
The exhibition this year by this asso-
citation is an entirely new feature
thew having never before exhibited at
the Fair. Their exhibition will COM
nrise things Of educational interest.
and will show improved methods and
appliances along those lines. II Is
thought that this exhibition will
prove Of special interest to the rural
schools.
This exhibition will occupy a place
in the exhibition space in the grand
stand

Golding
with Miss Irene Earll in charge,
the Hagley Community tent which is
always an especially interesting tent,
will this year be even more attract
i've than previously. Miss Earl viii
be assisted by several girls and boys
who take an active part in Hagley
House affairs As a rural social well
fare station, Hagley Community
House stands alone. Il being practi-
caliy the only thing Of It's kind in the
State In fact rural social work has
not made the strides that other social
work has for which reason the work
done by the Hagley Community
House always attracts much attention
When il is exhibited az the Fair. The
,ork this year will comprise kim
fargarten work and sewing and man
rti training accomplished by the
aler boys and girls in their various
asses.
Close TO this tent will be the suf-
rage tent. II will be gay with yell
low banners and pennants while sew
eral tables with suffrage literature
placed thereon will occupy the cen
trail and most important position In
The tent Just who viii be in charge
OF this tent Is not as yet fully de-
termined as both Mrs. Florence Bay
ard Hilles. State chairman for the
Congressional Union and Miss Mabel
Vernon, Congressional Union organic
er for Delaware. are both az the Pa
nama-Pacific expositions and Il Is not
known just when they will return
to this city. Mrs. Martha S. Grams
ton, president OF the Delaware Equal
Suffrage Association, Miss Helen
Cranston. Mrs. Annie NJ Arniel Miss
Mary de You and others will in all
probability have charge of this tent.
Suffrage speeches will be made and
suffrage literature freely distributed
In addition 10 the individual tents
over which "the eternal feminine
will preside. one entire building will
be given over to the woman's and chill
dren's departments Of the Fair. Al
ways in this building thronged with
hundreds of interested persons among
whom are quite often seen mem
bers Of the sterner sex. II would be
safe 10 say that no other depart
ments at the Fair attract more gen
eral attention than do these two de
partments
Both the womens and children's de
partments this year promise 10 b
larger and more comprehensive in ever.
