 There is no Board of Lady Managers" connected with this Exposition. There is. however, "Woman's Board" While an entity and Incorporated 1t is official ly subcommittee of the Panama Pa cific International Exposition" Noth- ing of importance is initiated by the Woman's Board without conference. a special committee of the Mems Board being the clearing house for all vital issues. In this way there Is no confu- sion. no duplication of effort, no waste of money. This procedure Is what makes for efficient cooperation.

 Mrs. Frederick G. Sanborn, the active president Is woman of rare ability and personality. Along no line does she lack executive ability, and she is as amiable as she is capable.
