IHc sewing uepdTCmenC is now
working on a set of model garments
to be shown at the, Stearns County
Fair. The ladies were disappointed
in their long looked for vacation by
the arrival of 100 garments from the
Quarter Master General which are to
be finished within three weeks. These

those sent into the Northern Division
