The old Bayeux tapestry made by Matilda OF
Flanders, reproductions of the statues made
by Sabina Won Steinbach for the Strasburg

a field as extensive as this must bear much
fruit, and the Woman's Building ranks very
close to the more pretentious expositions In
the interest it will arouse.
Great Britain, America and Germany make
the best exhibits. The former shows every
kind of work in which the women OF Eng

gagged. Notable are embroideries by Princess
Louise. the Royal School Of Needlework, OF
which Quesn Victoria is a patron, and the

Mrs. Candace Wheeler's direction. The CELL
ing is painted by Dora Wheeler Keith, Mrs.
Wneeler's youngest daughter. The theme Is
''Science, Imagination and Romance" It is
of Venetian design and in five sections. Mrs.
Candace Wheeler superintended the interior
decoration Of the Woman's Building, and
much of the success of the woman's exhibit
Is due to her.
OF course the United States Is ahead OF
either Great Britain or Germany. It Is
enough to say that the country has been ran
acked from one end to the other for woman's
work, with the result that the Woman's Build
ing is an enormous lesson In itself and one
which will not be lightly learned.
OF the women who have made the exhibit
success the President of the Board OF Lady
Managers, Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago,
Mrs. Susan G. Cooke, OF Tennessee, Mrs.
Ralph Trautman, Of New York. and Mrs.

Women. therefore, have exhibits in every
department of the fair in every line of in
dustrial, scientific, and artistic work. One Of
their cherisns.' ideals is to remove the i'm
piession that 9open are doing little skilled
labor. or ittfestsady and valuable work, and
that they consequently are not to be taken
seriously into consideration when dealing
with industrial problems that they never
learn to do anything thoroughly well, and
that therefore the small compensation given
them is a just and proper equivalent for their
services because it has no abstract CONNER
cial value. An effort will be made to demon
strate that their labor is a fixed and perma-
nent element and en- important factor In the
industrial world, and must be carefully stud
led in its relations to the general whole.
The Woman's Building Is an additional
agency for the exposition OF woman's work.
It is the inspiration Of woman's genius, and
provides all the comforts and conven1ences
for women during the exposition. The de-
sign was selected from a number OF competi-
tive sketches substituted by women archi-
tects. It is 400 feet long by 200 feet wide and
cost 100000. 1t has land and water en-

made by the hand Of man. Everything is by
women, and the hope Is that they will clear
away misconceptions as to the originality
and inventiveness of women. and will demon
strate that while they have been largely
occupied as home makers and not trained for
industrial or artistic pursuits, their
adaptability and talent have enabled them
to surmount the barriers and limitations
which have hemmed them in.
Women, among all the primitive people. it
is alleged, were the originators OF most OF the
industrial arts. While man the protector
fought or hunted, woman constructed the
home, ground the grain, dressed the skins
and fashioned them into garments. She in
vented the needle, thread, and the shuttle,
and was the first potter. She originated basket
making and ornamental work, and all OF this
will be demonstrated in the chronological dis
play

THE :WONAN'S BUILDING.
EXHIBITS OF WHICH THE SEX
MAY WELL BE PROUD.

The Ladies Play Conspicuous Fart
at the Chicago Worlds Fair
Their Building Contains Not a
Single Thing Made by the Hand of
Mana Magnificent Display.
In no previous exposition has woman
PLAYED so important and conspicuous part
as she is called upon to perform at the great
Columbian Exhibition of 1893 at Chicago. At
no time in her history has she been accorded
such place as she now occupies as IN in
teSral part Of q mammoth display OF the
achievements Of mankind. 1t seems lifting
that contemporaneously with her advanced
position as part of the worlds force, she
should display the benefits which her eman-
cipation has worked, and that side by side
with the products OF mans brain and energy,
wonan's should be placed for comparison.
The Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
and the Cotton Centennial in New Orleans
were greatly aided by the participation OF
women, who created what they termed the
won,ans department., wherein was installed
a collective exhibit Of ell the interesting and
meritorous work by women that could be
brought togethee. This womsn's department
proved so useful and attractive that the CO.
operation Of women in exposition work was
recognized as a valuable addition, and in
consequence, the original act OF Congress
providing for the celebration Of the quadro-
centennial created an official organization
known as the Board of Lady Managers.
When the board first assembled to organize
its work for the Columbian Exposition 1t was
found, declares the New York Times. though
the yrevious work had been most effective,
the impellinS law of progress demanded a
different plan Of action for the exposition OF
1893. Established precedent had to be thrown
aside and new methods OF unselfshness
created This proved to be necessary be
.csuse of the strong sentiment among those
most interested against taking the exhibits
OF women from the general buildings and
pic ling them apart in "Woman's Depart
ment" Women who were doing the most
creditable work in the arts and industries
.strenuously opposed such a separation, and
insisted that their exhibits should be so
placed as to compete with the best and most
successful productions in all departments OF
classified exhibits without regard to sex dis
"finction.
AS in some classes OF work women are
not credited with having arrived at degree
of excellence equal to that Of men, COM
petition among women only would result IN
the award of premiums to articles which
would not necessarily have been successful
if entered in a general competition. In an
international competitive exhibition the OBJ
ject is to honor the highest grade OF work
only, and thereby give it an International
reputation and added commercial value.
This intention might therefore be entirely
defeated in case Of q competition restricted
to woman only.
