HOUSE WIVES IN
FAIR EXHIBITS
Second Exhibition
BY Housewives
BY Mrs. Ruth Penn

The second annual exhibit spon-
sored at the Michigan State Fair,
from Sept. to 10, by the Detroit
Housewives League, was sue
cess from every point of view.
There was more time to orga-
nlze this year. hence, larger
number OF members were able to
cooperate, than was the case last
year. The wonderful spirit shown
by the committee and visitors, was
OF itself sufficient to warrant a
continuance OF The display.
The exhibits consisted OF dress
es. needlework. hooked rugs, fruits,
jellies. and vegetables pictures,
furniture, quilts, fancy boxes,
aprons. towels. napkins, slippers
and a variety of fancy pillows. all
made by members OF the league.
The commercial display consist
ed OF Pure Gold syrup, in charge
of Mrs. Tolbert; novelties and
dollies. Mrs. Mcqueen; ready-made
dresses. hats. by Miss Willis OF the
Uptown Dress Shop; special can
ming displays. by Miss Gulley an<
Mrs. Black. M
The exhibit was held at the fair
grounds primarily to advertise the
work OF the Detroit Housewives
League to interest women who
might not be reached otherwise.
and to give publicity and encour-
agement TO the woman in the bust
ness world. 1t also offered another
opportunity for group co-opera-
ton.
furthermore. owning to the varieyt
and beauty or many articles dis
played, members of other racial
groups gained broader apprecia-
ton of the skill and ability of
league members as home-makers.
The committee was able to bring
in 100 new members and host of
friends who will cooperate even
tually. Every member OF any OF the
local Housewives League, is elegi-
bic to display products in the lea
gue's exhibits.
Plans are now on foot for n big
ger and better exhibit next year.
All are invited to offer sug-
gestions.
Owing to the length OF the list
OF names OF those members and
friends who helped make the ex-
hibit success. the names will
have to be omitted in this item
and published in latter issue OF
