that hoop skirts couldn't be gotten
through the door of the Little White
House" The pageant itself is to be
given in Convention Hall, the stage of
which has been enlarged 10 twice its
original size TO accommodate the fem

anti-slayery movement, her meeting
with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Mrs.
Amelia Boomer. the heroine who in
