dent Professional Woman's League,
Director General.
'rhe pies the thing in America and
1bc Woman's exhibition proposes to
convert the world to this cult."-Mrs.
Gertrude Andrews, Official Piemaker.
Woman in all her phases, with a
multiplicity of activities to indicate her
past and future possibilities. will be
the daily living picture at the Madison
Square Garden in New York during
the two weeks, Oct. 6 to IS, while the
Woman's exhibition holds the boards,
saws the New York World. From east
and west north and south, whether as
almond eyed daughter of Asia or dark
haired Mexican senorita, she will bring
her best to add to the sum of greatness
of the sex.
The enterprise found its origin in
1istinctively feminine organization, the
Professional Woman's league, and 1T is
this body of 800 women who are work
ing with might and main to bring it to
a successful accomplishment. 1t Will
comprehend an investment of over
$25O,O0O and will employ more than
5000 persons, all of whom will be OF
the gentler sex and as comely, say the
managers. as any Broadway chorus.
A street of all nations will surround
the arena of the Garden, where twenty
four peoples in Characteristic occupa-
lions will give a kaleidoscope idea of
the scope of the undertaking. Within
the Enclosure which this thoroughfare
circles the industrial section will be
placed. A Red Cross field hospital,
with its corps of doctors again women
and nurses and the appliances for
emergency surgery, will be shown.
OF interest to mothers will be the
nursery as it was and as it is. The
old fashioned pOnderous crib and chairs
will be seen in the former exhibit
while the latter will include all the
modern furnishings of the nursery, the
kindergarten chairs, ETC., and the va
rious ways of amusing a child Baby
incubators with improvements suggest
ed by women will also be on view.
In this department, as in the kitchen,
the proposed colored women's part in
the exhibition will come into play. The
old nanny nursing her little ones on
the floor and grooming the songs of the
old south, as we'll as the auntie in the
cookhouse making wonderful corn
pOnes and battercakes, will be study
in national customs.
One element of the kitchen display,
which will represent many countries,
will be distinctly modern and distinc-
lively American. This will be the pure
white apartment, fitted with gas
stove where Mrs. Gertrude Andrews,
with the assistance of Miss Carmelita
Beckwith, will prove to the male under
standing that a woman can make and
bake seventeen pies in a batch as pal
atable as any mother ever made and
yet look pretty throughout the per
Torrance.
Women designers in wall paper, car
pets, book covers, etc, will be an i'm
Dortant addition to the ensemble. Car
pet weaving, making furniture and the
turning out of metal novelties will have
their place.
The Professional Woman's league
which has each year made its bazaar
a feature of the Christmas season, will
use large section near the center OF
the floor for it's contribution. Theat
rical dolls, in imitation of celebrated
actresses in their favorite characters
will be the special commodity. Two
hundred of these dolls, with the waxer
representatives of various nations, are
now in the hands of their modistes

manner of feminine art in the way OF
personal adornment or improvement
