Aims and objects.
The board of lady managers aims TO pre-
sent full, complete and exhaustive exhibit
OF the work of women in domestic econo-
mics, agriculture. invention, education, man
ufactures, literature, art and science; to
show forth women's attachments in all the

and secure more liberal recognition and in

OF the civilized world to her capabilities and
her needs IN such way as must inevitably
insure to her great and permanent benefits.
But in order to show all this the board OF
lady managers fully realizes that without the
AID and sympathy OF all women it is impossi-
