 The board of women managers of the Cotton States and International expo sition at Atlanta has issued the follow ing notice to women architects:
 Designs will be received until Nov. 90 from women architects anywhere for the womans building to be erected International exposition, to be held at Atlanta September to December, 1895. A first and second premium will be awarded for plans.
 For particulars. diagrams and data apply by letter to Mrs. Edward c. Pe- ters, chairman building committee Cot ton States and International Exposition company, Atlanta.
 The exposition which opens in Sep tember, 1895, promises to become one of the best opportunities for the display of woman s work in all lines of intel lsotual, artistic, scientific and industri- al progress known to this country.
 The United States has appropriated S200, 900 for a government building and will be represented by complete gov ernment exhibit, and assurances have already been received from foreign pow CTS that they will participate. Many of the southern states will also be repre- sented by comprehensive displays. Pre- vious expesitions have had incomplete displays of woman s work The World s fair at Chicago demonstrated to the world the scope and value as well as the exceeding beauty of woman's work, and it is our desire toshow at the forth coming exposition the great progress of recent years in this line.
 A woman's s building will be in read mess for large number of exhibits, in- cluding library, patents, inventions and other notable specimens of woman 8 genius and skill. The artistic work of women is especially desired A sales room will be provided where articles may be sold for the benefit of exhibit ors. The board of managers assures all persons Interested that large, capable and enthusiastic committee of women will devote themselves to proper plac- ing of these exhibits.
 All women who will interest them selves ill the coming exposition are re- quested to open correspondence with the woman's department, stating their wishes and the class of exhibits obtain able in their respective sections. All inquiries will receive prompt replies.
 AS less than one year intervenes be- fore the exposition opens, it is necessary that thorough and systematic effort b.a made to insure success.
 In reference to the above the New York Sun says editorially:
 Now there is a chance for great wo- man architect. The building committee of the Atlanta exposition has offered q high premium for the best design for an exposition edifice by Q woman, com petition open to all women everywhere. We have no doubt there will be thou sands of competitors.
 Among women there have been paint CTS of eminence, and sculptors of some merit, and musicians of high rank, and literary artists a-plenty, but we cannot think of the name of any great architect among them. In old times Phryne, a B9otian woman, offered to rebuild the massive walls of the magnificent city of Thebes, but she did not need to be an architect to do that
 We would like to see some woman, any woman. win artistic immortality by designing for the Atlanta exposition q masterpiece of architecture, an edifice worthy of womasn's genius, that will bear her name through the ages and gain the Atlanta prize. Never before was such chance to win an architec- tural triumph offered to American wo- mGn.
