signed not only for to-day. but for many
years to come. AS a matter OF architec-
ture. 1t IS worthy of the h'6.C.t praise.
AS the creation OF the brain Vi sister
woman, IL deserves special mention, for
never until now; never, indeed. until in
Atlanta, in the year 1895, has a woman
been chosen as an architect of any great
southern event, and never before in the
South has an official edifice been built,
decorated, equipped differed, and ded-
Gated by women alone.
Architecture has long been recognized
as one Of the highest and greatest of
human arts 1t Is all that in many cases
tells the story of dead nations, of buried
civilizations. 1t is the best OF every
great country and every metropolis.
When, therefore, woman shakes off thu

field of this magnificent art, and proves
herself the worthy peer Of man, ii is
feat worthy of praise, and We may be
justly proud.
