Progress in America to Have Proper
Exhibit at Paris in 1900.

Mrs. Ledyard Stevens of New York
is president of a commission having for
its object a suitable Exhibit at Paris
i'm 1900 of American women's work and
progress. The idea IL to have an ex-
hibit similar to that at the worlds fair
I'm this city. 1t is intended to have sew
en- departments, though in this matter
no decisive action has so far been
taken. There will be a statistical de-
partment. the statistics to be printed
in French, Italian, German and Rus
sian. The mechanical department will
be an exhibit of the patents held by
women, of which there are about 10000
i'm the United States. Under his head
will also come machinery operated by
women. The art department will be
subdiVided and will include sculpture,
wood carving, brass working and mod
cling. in addition to oil painting.
sketching and illustrating done by
women. In the educational department
will be included the manner of teach
ing kindergartens and charitable work.
The industries pursued by women who
are compelled to enter shops will be
shown.
Congress has been asked to appropri-
ate not less than $3.50. 900 to be used by
a committee of seven women to be
appointed by the president and to have
absolute control of the disbursement of
the sum. This committee will receive
the same salaries as the men holding
the same positions, ranging from IS. ZOO
to 50. 500 per year.
Mrs. Ledyard Stevens, president of
the commission, is the daughter of
DIR. Octavius A. White of South Caro-
lima and is connected with many of the
best families of the South. On the side
of her grandmother, Mrs. John w.
n -. H. -. - Ill., -
Governor John Winthrop Of Massa-
chusetts and of Peter Stuyesant, the
sturdy old Dutch governor of New
Amsterdam. BY marriage she is close
ly connected with the Rhinelanders,
Schermerhorns and Newbolds. The
other members of the commission-all
active. energetic women of affairs-are
Mrs. Edward L~auterbach. Mrs. Mary
Hatch Willard. Miss Alice Wetmore
and Miss Binninger.
While ii is unavoidable that the ini-
tial steps should be taken and the CEN
trail office, so to speak, should be To-
Gated i'm one place in order to secure
unity of action. yet the enterprise Is
by no means intended to be a local one.
1t is a national movement. and as soon
as the commission has been authorized
and empowered to taxi definite action
it will invite the cooperation of wom-
en-. singly or in association, from every
state and territory in h union, and
will establish ranch offices at such
places as may seem most advisable.
1t is quite possible that the women,
finding no opportunity provided for a
separate exhibition of their wares. may
conclude to provide themselves with a
building adjacent To the exposition
grounds i'm Paris. which they will dec
crate and make beautiful N ''cozy,"
as only women can, and while exhibit
ing therein their contribution to h
fair will yet combine the essential fea-
lures of a woman clubhouse,
ing r~efreshment. meals and a comfort
able. quiet resting place.
