IMPERIAL COUNTY WOlEEN'S EXHIBITS
MAKE FINE SHOWING BRAWLEY FAIR

Women of the county who visit
the Brawley Mid-Winter show will
have reason to be proud Of the many
attractive exhibits there which are
sponsored by women. One which
perhaps represents the largest group
is the booth of the Farm Home De
partInent Of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau, and represents 4
farm home living room rs worked
out by the home furnishing demon
strati0ns.
A home made table, "a smaller
table purchased second hand for q
small sum and attractivelv painted,
a redecorated reed chair which was
dark and stained before and is now
very good looking, tarletan window
curtains, barley sack rug and other
furnishings have made a cozy at
mosphere.
That women Immediately sense
the comfortable and homelike air of
the place has been reported by the
various Farm Home department
members who take turns acting as
hostesses in the booth. Although
the room was fitted up for exhibi-
tion purposes, its charm has already
attracted many who have comment
ed ''What lovely rest room, - and
Immediately proceeded to make
themselves comfortable.
Miss Miller Pleased
Although Miss Orpha 4. Miller.
under whose capable direction the
booth was arranged, states that Il
rest room had not been thought of
in connection with the display, the
department is delighted to have the
public enjoy the comfort and con-
venienee of this "living room.
In the Spruce Farm Center booth
the fine exhibits of the Farm Home
department are again in evidence.
Delicious looking cooked foods,
canned fruit and vegetables, various
garments and fruit and vegetables
from the home gardens are display
ed to good advantage.
After gazing longingly at the
goodies displayed by the Spruce
women, visit to the sandwich and
hot coffee booth which is being sue
cessfully operated by a group of
members of the Mothers Community
Club of Brawley should be next on
the program of every evisitor. Home
made pie'and candy are also on sale
here. To the women of this organ
ization great credit should be given
for this booth and for their larger
activity, that of taking over the
dining room of the Dunlack Hotel
and operating it during the period
of the fair.
