THE LADY MANAGERS.
Their Third Session Held Recently
in Chicago.

VI viz w vi w l. ali
convened at Clncogo, October 18th,
with full attendance. The report
of the president, given in her usual
clear, concise and forcib e style,
contained statement of the bust
uess accomplished at headquarters
during the past year on account of
the work done by the committees
of foreign women appointed to CO.
operate with the board, and a syn
opsis of the work to be done by the
board during its session.
The names of one foreign COM
mittee represent not only royalty
and the influence of the govern
ment, include also many women
who have risen to the positions
which they occupy by their own un-
aided talents, who, without titles
or wealth to assist them, are recon-
mended only by their evident abil-
ity to carry on the important lines
of work intrusted to their hands.
The powerful organization thus Sc
cured extends around the whole
world, and stands with perfect
solidlly for the purpose of serving
the interests of our sex, and max
ing the industrial conditions easier
for them.
Such an organization has never
before existed of women for women.
That this work is needed is con-
sidered by the pathetic answers
from some of the countries who
have declined the invitation to CO.
operate with us. For instance a
teller received from the Govern
ment of Tunls States that COM
mission of woman cannot be found
in that country, because local pre-
JUDGE will not allow the native wo.
men TO take part in public affairs.
Syrian correspondents write that it
will be impossible to secure official
appointment of a committee of wo-
men in that country, as custom
prevents women from taking hold
of such work, and the Government
will lend no aid, but that an effort
will be made to send a small exhibit
unofficially. 1t seems incredible
that the Government of these coun-
tries would be willing to make ad-
missions which reflect so much up
on themselves or that they would
allow such shameful conditions to
continue.
AS our building approaches COM
pletlOn the caryatids of Miss Yam
dell and the pediments and groups
of Ridont have been placed in posi-
ton and the delicacy and beauty
of Miss Hayden's creation have
been fully appreciated and have re-
ceived the highest encomiums from
all the artists familiar with 1t.
While our building is smaller and
less expensive than most of the
others, It's scholarly composition,
beautiful proportions, refined and
reserved details hold their own even
when considered IN comparison
with the ornate creations of other
great architects represented on the
Exposition grounds. 1t is remark
able as being the creation of
young girl.
The Dormitory Association stated
that the design of their buildings
is such as to make them most con-
venient for all who will use them.
They will be built IN the form of a
hollow square, facing on four
streets. The rooms around the
hollow square will be two deep, sep
Grated by a hallway. Each room
will have outside windows, with
transoms over the doors insurng
good light and circulation. Each
building will contain 1000 rooms
the ma ority single, that every
stakeholder who so desires may
room alone. Two hundred and fifty
double rooms and few en- suite,
that parties coming together may
be congenially located. The build
ings will be lighted by electricity
and be heated by large old fashioned
fireplaces in the parlors, and will
be two stories high, with a few
rooms reserved on the ground floor
for elderly ladies. The rooms will
be plainly but comfortable furnished
good bedsteads, woven wire
spring, Gotten mattress, feather
pillows, rocking chairs, mirror and
toilet conveniences. Space for one
trunk and other baggage in each
room. Personal property will be
safely cared for during the day.
The buildings will be located
about one mile from the grounds
and only two blocks from the cable
cars. 1t is probable that a special
line of cars will run to and from
the Exposition grounds at the
usual FIVE cents rare. Restaurants
will be established near the dorml-
