Friday morning, November 20, I
boarded the train at Lind, WASH
ington. At Spokane the chaperons,
20 Washington delegates, and some
of the Oregon and Idaho Alters en-
trained to begin this marvellous trip.
We were on the train two days and
two nights. All of us had many new
things to learn on the train for some
of us had never ridden in a sleeper
before, therefore we had to learn to
dress in a berth, also read our
menu and eat our meals between
bumps and jars. We arrived in Chi
cago Sunday morning, where we
went directly to the Harrison hotel.
AS there were no rooms to be had
there, we were taken to the Con-.
gress hotel. 81 7&=s 1f @z,1.a": NJ

caps and tags with our names and
the name of our state on them. That
afternoon we went to the Art Mu-
scum and in the evening all of us
went to our rooms early.
Monday we began our week by
all the delegates from the various
states assembling on the ground
floor of the Auditorium hotel. We
were divided into two battalions.
Washington delegates were in bat
talon one. We first went to the
stock yards and listened to a talk
by B. H. Heide, President of the
Live Stock show, then to see the
4-H Livestock and Home Economics
exhibits. We were entertained at
luncheon by Sears, Roebuck and Co.
after which we were taken to the
Wilson company plant and enter
tanned at a buffet dinner. The del
egates from each state were taken
in groups to the employees dining
room, where the dinner was served.
After dinner we went back to the
entertaining room. AS we went out,
each of us was given an autograph
album. After each group had fin
ished, we went over to the stock
yards and paraded in the arena.
Tuesday the girls were taken over
to the Field Museum, where there
were so many things to see, be-
Iieve one could go every day for
two weeks and not see it all. We
were there about two hours then we
went to the planetarium and were
shown the rising and setting of the
sun and moon at different seasons
of the year, the movement of the
planets, and the rest of the solar
system. Montgomery Ward and Co.
entertained us at the Edgewater
Beach hotel at luncheon. In the din
ing room we could look out upon
Lake Michigan. The lake was rath-
er rough and it was certainly a
beautiful sight. Afterwards we went
through the Montgomery Ward
plant. AS we left, each of us receiv-
ed a beauty kit for souvenir. That
evening the Annual Grand Banquet
was held at the Stevens Hotel, the
largest hotel in the world. The
theme Of the evening was apprecia-
ton of art, the ballroom being dec
Grated accordingly and the favors
were artists palettes.
Wednesday the international Har-
vester Company took us through
their plant. We were shown the
complete process of making tract
or from the minute the iron was
taken out of the hot fire and mold
ed into wheels, rods, or whatever it
might be, until it is completed

factory, a picture of the whole group
of All delegates was taken. We were
entertained at luncheon and given
a pen flashlight for a souvenir, then
taken through the Irvine mills. In
the evening the girls went to the
Goodman theatre to the Chicago
Mail Order Style show.
Thursday morning the Chicago
Mail Order company entertained the
girls at breakfast and gave each Of
us an eversharp pencil in green and
white, the All colors, with Al
clover on it. After the breakfast,
Jane Alden, as master of cere-
monies, entertained at another style
show, showing dresses suitable for
every occasion. This afternoon the
