be something to think and talk about
for long time. Officers faces, as well
as buildings, were easily recognized
without an introduction. We recog-
nized them, one after another, from
their published pictures. This was
also true of many of the members
of the faculty of the Peoples Uni
versity. M. TaXile Doat, probably
the greatest ceramic artist in the
world, George Julian Zolnay, the
master sculptor, Ralph Cheslet OFT,
the foremost portrait painter, and
many others were all readily recog-
nized from their pictures which we
have all seen so many times
We first visited the Executive
Office Building, usually called the
Magazine Building, which is said to
be the most beautiful office building
in the world. The interior is in mar
BILE, bronze and mosaic. The mural
decorations are in oils by Ralph
Chesley OFT, director of the division
of drawing and painting in the Peo-
pies University of the League. We
were allowed to pass through Mr..
Lewis private Office, though Mr.
Lewis was not there. Rumor had it
that he had been obliged to flee from
the hundreds of admiring women,
In this room we noticed a panel on
one side of the wall, near the ceiling,
executed in oil by Mr. Oft. On first
glance, the painting seemed to rep
resent a cherub peering out from
behind feecy clouds of blue and
cold: but as one looks a moment
LONGER the face Of the cherub as
sumes the form of the smiling coun-
tenance of the founder of the Ameri-
can Woman's League, the dreamer,
but also the man who has made his
dreams come to pass, Mr.. Edward
G. Lewis.
We next passed over bridge
which took us into the great press
room. Here the Woman's Magazine
and other publications of the Lewis
Publishing Company, aside from the
Woman's National Daily, are printed.
Here were printing presses worth 60
ing to see but after we had passed
out of this building into the WOmans

printing press we found there, the
largest in the world, drove everything
else out of our minds. This press
takes in twenty-four bolts of paper
at one time. capacity, four million
copies in four hours, or about five
thousand copies a minute. This
great press is the one that prints the
Woma s National Daily, with cir
culation of over $4,000 paid-up
subscribers, the onlw womanS daily
newspaper in the world, The build
ing in which it is located is built OF
white marble in the form of an
Egyptian temple, the great pillars of
the interior being decorated in Egyp-
tan hieroglyphics. This plant is one
of the show" places of StLouis. If
the men were generally scarce in
other places in University City, they
were usually in the majority here,
watching the wheels 60 round.
The Academy of Fine Arts next
attracted our attention. This bull
ing, erected at a cost of $125,0OO, is
very beautiful in architecture and
very complete in equipment, and is
the institution, most attractive per-
haps, to the majority of the members
of the American Woman'S League.
Here we saw the masters of the
different divisions of art actually at
work in their laboratories and studies.
Drawing and painting, Sculpture,
China-painting pottery, etc, etc,
were each seen in the process of man
ufacture, and many beautiful works
of art were on exhibition.
After we had visited all these
buildings, the next thing in ordSr was
lunch at Delmar Villa in Delmar Gar
den, which was provided each day
free. as we'll as dinner. to all the Wis
iting delegates and members who
had earned the free trip. Here it
was that we needed to exercise
what ever true League spirit" we
had brought with us. The crowd by
this time had become immense, but
what did it matter though big hats
we're crushed, skirts pulled awry, and
toes rodden upon. Was not this
the FIRST great convention of the
American Woman's League that
marks the birth Of a new indepen-
dence for women? Everybody tried
to be as good-natured as they could
under the circumstances, and we all
made out very well. Of course, it
was a tremendous undertaking to
serve the vast number of delegates
and members, and it was enough to
