at previous meetings. There were
seventy-five women present from all
parts of the state. Mrs. +. b. Clarke
was in the chair.
The first business of the meeting was
discussion of letter from the board
of managers of New York. The New
York women have adopted resolution
recommending 10 congress the passage
OF bill to open the fair every day in
the week. The large majority of the
women present favored the resolution,
and by vote of the meeting it was in
dorsed after discussion. The opinion
seemed to prevail that all kinds Of
pleasure resorts about the fair will be
open Sundays, and that if the fair is
closed the people who would have
visited il will 20 to other places for
recreation. where they will be in much
greater moral danger than if the fair
We're kept open.

traits of famous Minnesota Indians or
early settlers, TO be made by Minnesota
china painters, and after the fair to be
presented to the state historical society,
Mrs. Crosby, of Hastings, urged the
necessity of calling for original designs.
The Minnesota potteries, she said, will
soon equal any in the country, and the
field for original work in this line is
great for women. Charmen of commit

departments.
