PERFEcTNG ARRANGEMENTS TO MAKE THEM IN
FLUINTIAL IN THE GREAT EXHIBIT.
The work in connection with the woman's Depart
ment Of the Worlds Fair is advancing avorably. In
regard to applications for space III the Woman's Build
Ing Is generally understood Tat exhibits can be
entered there Oay BY invitation Of the Board OF Lady
Managers. ForIhls reason, industil and those
desiring 10 exhibit for competition o. with the idea Of
selling their articles are applying fol space under the
general Classification for competitive exhibits.
AT the fourth session of the Commission, in April
s- the Board Of Lady Managers was 'recognized and
declared to be the official channel OF Communication
through which all women organZatos of women
nay be brought into relation with the Exposition"
and IL is therefore necessary for women touake their
applications through the Woman's Department. The
Board then refers them 10 the Office Of the Director
General. The question Of competitive exhibit IN the
womans Building was discussed at the last seslon Of
the Board, and Mrs. Palmer hoped that the somen
would come a decision about it, but action ws in
definitely postponed.
The subject OF duplicate exhibits was also uder
consideration, and the conclusion is not that eVry
woman having exhibit under the general classiia
Ton should be required 20 furnish duplicate for te
Woman's Building but that women whose exhibit
are especially fine or meritorous shall be invited u
snd something Of their production mot necessarily
Wonsn's Building

Pointed TO prepare such plan. and Issue leaflets con-
