WoMAN's WORK

The Woman's department at the
fair this year is exceptionally good
and is proving one of the most popu-
far rendezvous on the ground, not
only for the ladies and children, but
many men visit and examine this work
with intense interst.
Mrs. J. Fl. Brinson and Mrs. c. E.
Winston, each assisted by a compe-
tent corps of girls and young ladies,
have charge of this department. The
building which Mrs. Winston is help
ing make attractive comprises school
exhibits from many schools, from the
kindergarten up to the high school
grades, such as needlecraft, besides
exhibits of this sort by individuals.
The hand work displayed this year is
marvellous and there are a few hand
painted pieces of china that have at
tracted great attention The kinder
garten work of the pupils of the North
Ocala school is among that which de-
serves special comment. These little
tots displayed keen insight of their
instruction, especially in their exhibit
entitled "The Landing of the May
flower" The Oak school, which has
been open only one month, had one of
the largest and best displays. The
attractive booklet, Health Crusade of
the Oak School," was one piece of
their work that attracted much atten-
tion which showed the wonderful pro-
gress this school is making LowelPs
display showed up splendidly. The
little school house made by the chill
Idren cut of cardboard and paper
Ipleases all who see it, and like the
Iother schools, their samples of COM
position work were encouraging. The
Charter Oak and Central schools,
among the smallest ones, deserve
much praise for the neat work that

Exhibits, though limited in quantity,
was excellent in quality.
The antiques on display in this
building are unique and interesting.
They are owned by Mrs. Lester War
ner, and consist of a table cloth and
ccunterpane which were homespun
and hand-women in 1889, and attract
the attention of all the ladies.
/ Mrs. Brinson's department COM
prises exhibits pertaining to culinary
and domestic talents. One in this
building one fingers. for never was
there such a display of eatables, SO
appetizing that one wishes for the op-
portunity to sample them all, but eve.
thing is covered to keep out the dust
and safely locked. Tt is a beautiful
sight to see all sorts of bread, cakes
pies, canned fruit, vegetables, pickles
catsup, etc. The jellies without ex.
Eception are the finest that can be
made. The judges have our sympathy
The girls at the Industrial School
Idld not disappoint their friends. Their
feZh1bit is most creditable. This year
they built miniature log cabin on a
heautdHl estate, which is laid off
with trees and shrubbery. Also there
were tiny tents arranged around a
small lake, on which are canoes and
about the grounds are turkeys. The
hand work and drawings of these
Iris is most praiseworthy. Their
cardboard house with furnishings of
similar material and dishes made of
cay display fine sense of creative
ability.
The exhibits in this department at
the 18th annual fair are superior to
any previous year and it is well worth
a visit to the fair grounds just to see
these things created by the women
and girls of the county.
