Prince Georges County Federation
of WOmen's Clubs.-Another year has
been added to the history of the
Southern Maryland Agricultural Fair
and to the achievements of the clubs
of this county which participated in
the general and project exhibits. Last
years display was considered splendid
by both judges and visitors, but 1925
federation exhibition was a triumph,
and, to quote from the judges report
handed to the chairman of the fair,
Mrs. A. Il. Lee: The Prince Georges
County Federation booths are far SUI
perior to last years, in that they sug-
gest to the public four outstanding
phases of real homemaking: /. good
health through proper foods; ,, edu-
cation of the pre-school child through
reation in the home: I, the beautify
ing of the home and grounds"
Time was not counted in the prepa
ration of exhibits for this fair, and
quantities of handiwork which could
never be replaced were loaned by la
dies of the federation to decorate
booths which were works of art. One
passing down the aisle in Federation
Hall felt exactly like the Irish drill
sergeant who, when he had brought
his company at the parade grounds to
present arms and thought they looked
unusually well, said to his men: You
just ought to step out here in front
of yourselves and look at yourselves
and see how handsome you be-" Two

Under the leadership of Miss Ethel
Regan, home demonstration agent for

praise. She was assisted by Mrs. n.
0. Brigham of Decatur Heights in
planning and arranging this booth.

teams were at work-Winifred Gahan
and Charlotte Klippert of Berwyn,
demonstration in jelly making, show
ing the different tests necessary; Ger

Many constructive criticisms were
made by the judges which will be of
inestimable value in planning for the
| future.
