  > go downward
  This is the grand hall of the Woman's Building. Unlike most of the other grand buildings of the fair, whose insides fairly resemble railway sheds, this building actually appears like a stately home on the inside, with elegantly appointed furniture, draperies, and decorations. The hall extends the width of the building, from the main entrance on the east side to the Midway entrance to the west. A massive marble staircase leads up to the second floor. Smaller halls extend from here to the north and south. High above your head, you can see two large murals. On the north wall is a mural entitled, 'Primitive Woman,' and on the south wall, 'Modern Woman.'
  
  Grand Hall, Looking East.
  
  > go to the south
  This long hallway is stuffed to overflowing with all manner of exhibits and displays. The main feature of the hallway is a large exhibit from the Smithsonian Museum, entitled 'Women in Savagery.' In the exhibit over eighty display cases contained examples of women's work from primitive peoples across the globe. A side exit leaves the building to the south, and to the north is the grand entrance hall. A doorway to the west leads to more exhibits.
  
  It looks like someone forgot to put one of the wicker baskets away; it rests on the floor near the display cases.
  
  Gallery of Women's Industries.
  
  > examine basket
  It's a finely woven wicker handbasket with a sturdy handle that arches over the top. There's nothing in the handbasket.
  
  > Go south
  You are in a small plaza, surrounded by stately buildings and pavilions. To the west stands the Children's Building, fittingly nestled in the protective shade of the Women's Building, which can be entered to the north. Created by French architects, the Children's Building is dotted with delightful sculptural groups of little children. The Horticulture Building stands immediately to the south, but there is no entrance to it on this side. To the east, past a couple smaller pavilions, is the lagoon. The road continues southwest, toward a pleasant outdoor garden, and northwest, toward the Midway.
  
  Children's Building.
  
  > Go west
  You step under an archway which reads "The Hope of the World is in the Children" and into...
  
  The Children's Building, Foyer
  The Children's Building foyer is wide and spacious, but also more spartan than the interiors of many of the other Fair buildings. The main attraction in the building stands directly west, a large playground for older kids: complete with trapezes, parallel bars, vaulting horses, rings, wands, and more. You can see kids playing in the exhibit, and many more lined up around the outside. To the south a door leads to the Day Nursery, while to the north the exhibits of the Children's Building stack one upon the other: a model kindergarten, a young homemakers exhibit, and more.
  A kindly matron is here, assisting parents and keeping a watchful
  eye on the children.
  
  Children's Building Gymnasium. 
  
  A woman comes out of the nursery, mumbling, "Aspirin. I need some aspirin." She wanders out of the building.
  
  > ask the matron about the check
  She is far to busy to carry on a conversation with adults, at the moment.

  A small child wobbles into the lobby, and crashes to the floor.
  Before he even starts crying, the matron is there, helping him up, saying soft things to him, and giving him a kiss on the forehead. Before long, the child wobbles away, giggling.
  
  > Go north
  Your heart sinks at the thought of all those educational exhibits; you decide to skip them unless necessity demands.
  
  > Go south
  The kindly matron calls out, "Sir? Please don't go in there, you'll disturb the babies."
  
  > give check to the matron
  The matron takes the claim check from you. "Just a moment, please," she says, and leaves the foyer. She returns moments later, with a baby in her arms. "Here you are," she says, handing the baby over to you.
  
  You hear a crash and some crying from the playground.
  
  > Inventory
  You have a case dossier, a guidebook, a small daily stipend, and a baby. The case dossier seems to contain a crime scene note, a description of Greenback Bob, a description of Delbras, a list of stolen diamonds, and a detailed crime report.
  
  > examine baby
  The little boy squirms in your hands and vocalizes constantly. But at least he isn't crying--at least, not right now.
  
  Two kids run past you, one chasing the other.

  Children's Building.
  
  > Up
  library, a long, narrow room which ends at a great window from which you can see the fairgrounds and the lake. Soft blues predominate in the room, as if the waters of Lake Michigan had somehow flowed into the library and left its very nature. Thousands of books line the walls in dozens of bookcases. In the middle of the room is a display case featuring the works of Harriet Beecher Stowe, a bust of whom sits atop the case. Tables and chairs are scattered throughout the library so patrons can stop to read some of the materials. The grand staircase continues up to the rooftop level of the building, or back down to the grand hall.
  A librarian is here, cataloging the books.
  
  Library. 
  
  From the smell, you suspect baby just had a potty break.
  
  > give the baby to the librarian
  The librarian leaps up, pulling a little rattle out of her purse. "There you are my sweet little..." she leans over the baby shaking the rattle. "Oh!" she exclaims suddenly, dropping the rattle. "What have you done? This isn't my baby!" She slumps back into her chair, sobbing.
  
  Just then a gentleman enters the library. "Edith, what's wrong?" he goes to the librarian, who tells him her troubles. He pats her gently on the shoulders, then turns to you. "Look, I don't know who you are, but I think you've caused poor Mrs. Clark quite enough trouble already. I expect you to make things right. Take that baby back, and get the right one. Can't you do anything? And if you don't get her baby back within the hour, I'll call the police!" He storms out, leaving you with the very upset and distraught librarian.
  
  The baby puts its fist up to its mouth, and smiles.
