COMMITTEE ON woMEN's WORK

The necessity for more space re.
ouires the removal of the Office of the |
Committee on Women's Work to the
above address where, after February |
18th, all articles intended for exhibi.
ton at the Worlds Fair will be re. |
ceived, classified, examined by experts
stored, and reshipped to Chicago. The
Chairman Of each County Committee
is expected to gather together the ex-
hibts, and as none but articles of su.
perior merit will be accepted at the
Columbian Exposition, she is earnest
ed requested to select competent
committee of women to examine each
class of exhibits before sending them
to Philadelphia or to Pittsburgh, in
order that all inferior work may be
promptly rejected. BY SO doing need
less trouble and the expense of trans
portation will be avoided.
1t will not be necessary to pack
separately goods of different descrip-
tion, as they must be classified after
reaching Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.
On March 10th and 7Ist, a COM
mittee of experts from different parts
of the State will meet at the Office to
judge of the Art Needework. No
articles Of whatever nature will be re-
ceived after March 18th, and only
those for which application for space
has been made should be sent.
All exhibits must be plainly marked
with the name and address of the
owner, and sent by express C. O. d.

Warren, Washington, and Westmore
land, while the remaining forty two
counties will send to the Philadelphia
Office, all exhibits to be delivered on
or before March 18th.

has delayed the sending out Of this
circular.
