following the feminine method of doing great deal
of the drudgery with their hands They working
like factory girls making costumes for the performers
They have looked out for the interests of the children
as women have done nsncvely since the world began
by placing the performance at hour when the young

when they ought to be in them
4nd the character of the pageant is itself expression
Of the ageod 7pon,ans 7cay of looking at things.
Women know that though nations rise fall families
must clothed, fed and house.
And into the midst of the marching troops and the
whrl of patriotic excitement the womens Pageant of In
dustry will bring the steady throb OF the forces that
derie all pariosnlthe factories, the Inventions the
