The work in connection with the wo-
mans department of the Worlds Fair is
advancing favorably. In regard TO appli-
cations for space in the Woman's build
sng, IL is generally understood that eX-
hibits can be entered there only by invi-
alton of the Board OF Lady Managers
For this reason, industrial women and
those desiring 10 exhibit for competition
or with the idea Of selling their articles
are applying for space under the general
classification for competitive exhibits.
Among the things which IL has been de-
cidsd 20 have is Woman's Exchange.
The Daughters OF the Revolution have
also received 5000 feet Of space for a
colonial exhibit. The board announces
that women physicians will have official
and professional recognition at the Ex-
position. DR. Jonn r.. Owen, medical
director OF the Exposition, in compliance
with request from the president of the
Board OF Lady Managers, has promised TO
place women upon his professional staff,

so there is evidently a fallacy in the
idea that feminine attire is capable of
engrossing the entire attention of a
woman.
There is another theory that a girls
time is spent in entertaining members
of the other sex, but this is absolutely
uDtenable. Even the mildeSt of tiirta
lions calls for two tlirters, and, as the
student of our social system is never
weary of pointing out, we have no class
Of men whose time is their own.
A girl may spend her evenings and
Sundays in amusing the masculine half
of creation, but business hours are
sacred from her invasion. Her will
might be good to so spend the hours
from sunrise to midnight, but in the
nature of the case her opportunities are
limited.
Is ii domestic cares which are so alb
sOrbing? The newspaper paragrapher
would say not. and think on the whole
he is right. This is not because most
girls are unwilling to share the house
hold responsibilities, but because dur
ing the time of their education, home
life goes Oh without their assistance,
and once out of school they find no place
ready made in which they can be useful.
1t is about as easy for the camdl to 20
through the needles eye as for the
daughter of well-to-dO family to find
any domestic duties worthy of the name
in her fathers house.
There are yet other ways in which it
is popularity supposed a girls time is
employed, such as study and CORE
spOndence. But did you ever go to a
morning class? If so, you know per-
fectly well the formula: II was SO

Have you any women among your

Perhaps the subject is worthy of scien-

Here is a vast amount of labor which

in the land, is put forth daily, yet with
