GOSSIP OF THE EXPOSITION.
DISSATISFACTION FELT REGARDING
THE WOMAN'S BUILDING -DAUGH-
TIERS OF THE AMERICAN REV
oLUTION MOVE TO
NEW HOME.

good deal OF dissatisfaction is felt. not only by
Individuals but by organizations as well, because
the Woman's Building al the Pan-American EX-
position IS not open at all times 10 the public
Comparisons are constantly being drawn between
Il and the Woman's Building al the Chicago Fair
much 10 the latter's advantage. The fact Is, the
name of the building is misleading, and there has
arisen misconception Of its purpose.
The pretty building DELIGHTFULLY."- located. was
n reality intended the hospitality building and
was set apart for the benefit Of the women man
ayers who entertain for the exposition. Because
those in charge are liable be called upon at any
time 10 receive at luncheon, tea or reception, the
house must always be in readiness. During such
functions fits doors closed 10 unlimited visitors
Most women expect 10 have the run Of the entire
building as was the case at Chicago. and when
not admitted they become indignant, not realizing
how the rooms occupied.
Different organizations have arranged for meet
tugs there so that the building is scheduled for
entertainments up to October. This is another
grievance When clubs and societies whose MEM
bers have gathered al the exposition Unexpectedly
ask the privilege Of meeting I'm the Womans Build
ing and find that that is impossible, they nvaria-
blv ask why has not our organization as good
right 10 be entertained here any?" and the
reply without fail, is. why haven't you made
your arrangements like the others?" Some of the
largest organizations in the country have thus feIt
themselves misused The dates are now pretty
well filled, and no society make an engage
rnent to be entertained there with notice Of only
q day two.
The Buffalo women are coming in for the largest
share Of carping criticism, and are being charged
with monopolizing the structure for the use OF
themselves and their friends
The board Of women managers holds meetings at
least once a week, and sometimes oftener. Since
the reception Mrs. Roosevelt. on May 20. there
has been continuous series Of meetings. recep-
lions luncheons and teas IL the building. Among
the organizations entertained have been the West

tOn, Daughters OF the American Revolution Vari-
