Report of Governor's Representatives for California at Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Commission

by California. Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition commission; J. A. Filcher; Frank Wiggins

HOSTESSES.

Mrs. Wiggins and Mrs. Filcher who had served so successfully as hostesses at the St. Louis Exposition and at the Portland Exposition, were installed as hostesses of the California Building at Seattle, the compensation to be determined after the close of the Exposition when our financial condition would be better understood, they agreeing in advance to abide by the outcome. This arrangement was an incentive to extra economy on their part, and it may be said they seconded every effort of your Representatives in that direction, and yet they maintained California’s reputation for hospitality admirably, and became favorites in the large Hostesses’ Association of the Exposition, of which Mrs. Wiggins was one of the leading officials.
