The two displays of Indian relics
entered by Mrs. Alex Philip and Mrs.
Geo. Philip, Jr., attract much atten-

In the Domestic Art Department,
there are numerous beautiful and
elaborate lunch cloths. The ones
with crochet borders by Mrs Al

Alex Philip and Miss FRAME Haffa-

book bindery until we saw the splen-

magazines at the fair-the work

this year. We noticed in cut flower
exhibits of snap-dragon, nasturtiums,
ageratium, dahlias, zinnias, asters,
petunias, roses, salVias and cOsmas.
! Two towering begOnias were much
admired.
