| Show UTAHS LADY MANAGERS 1 i I 1 The Work They Will Do for the I Worlds Fair VERY ELABORATE DESIGNS Great Executive Ability Has Already Been Developed Pen sketches of the Utah Lady Members ot the National Board of Lady 3lanngcrs of the Worlds 1air It may not generally be known but it is a fact that the decoration of the Utah building at the Worlds Fair has been left entirely in the hands of the board of 2 lady managers for Utah That this course was as wise as it was gallant will be conceded con-ceded by all who giue the matter any reflection re-flection and that its effect will be to S materially enhance the beauty and attractiveness at-tractiveness of the surroundings is equally certain The details of this duty have been assigned to a committee of ladies known as the committee on design and color As the several departments will be decorated and painted according to a formulated plan the effect will be no slight feature of the Utah exhibit Already Al-ready elaborate designs are being made for the decoration of the building and Salt Lake Utah Davis Wooer Cache and other counties are engaged in special work for this purpose Among the contributions con-tributions promised of a special character charac-ter are a set of furniture made out of Utah wood designed and made by Uth workmen and upholstered with Utah s lk Also an onyx table and a clock urn m JU < c high with an onyx face and gold and silver hands Up to date the lady managers have their work much better in hand than the men but that is a usual custom with them and will cause no surprise In nearly all the counties organizations have been effected and the county boards are working in harmony with the territorial board There will be separate or competing display made by the ladies in the Utah builaing but it is pleasant to state that many are brave and confident enough to enter into competition with all others not only in the womans general department depart-ment but in the main exhibition also The effect of this will be to add an increased in-creased interest in the fair generally so far as Utah is concerned and knowing that the talent of our ladies is in no way inferior to tint of the men who have already won us many honors in competition with the world at large wlo can doubt that those entering the lsi will return with trophies and gratifying evidences of their skill and genius It must be said of the ladies that they are as persistent in their work as they are successful suc-cessful in their results and the whole field of womans domain and influence excepting perhaps in the world of politics is being brought to the attention of the public by means of their department in the colossal exposition In connection with the general work for the fair is what is known l as the Wo mens Progress which it is said is proposed not for the purpose of advancing advanc-ing any one cause or promoting any one doctrine or of advancing any one propo ganda but for the purpose of bringing together the representatives of all worthy organizations of women whatever their nationality or their specific objects maybe I may-be The ladies of Utah alive to the possibility + pos-sibility of the occasion are also working along this line Another feature is what is called The Childrens Home This is designed to see that children are not left without re i cocnition in the great movement culminating culmi-nating in the exposition of 1893 It has for its object the care of the children at the Worlds fair where mothers can visit the exposition and avoid the trying labor of I toting the little ones around and at the same time be relieved of every care and yet enjoy the fullest advantage of the educational ed-ucational facilities offered there without fear that the little ones may get ill or be injured or lack any motherly watchfulness watchful-ness nesso Ho far as the board of lady managers for Utah is concerned they have displayed a business capacity which men hitherto I have been loathe to give them credit for possessing They are raising their own funds and paying their own way This is no light labor in itself and is evidence that in their sphere and department the ladies will show that they are abundantly able to take care of themselves Of the exposition generally it is worthy of note that womans connection with it is upon precisely the same basis as that of man The work of both sexes will be exhibited ex-hibited side by side and all the awarding award-ing juries will have women upon them I even to mines and agriculture A distinction dis-tinction has also been accorded the women in this exposition They not only have absolute control of all that concerns con-cerns the womens buildingwhich is not the case as to any other deoartment but all connected with it will be the creation of womens intellect The designs and S t decorations are the work of women while in this building there will be no exhibit of any work that is not entirely the product pro-duct of womens labor As to the art department de-partment of the womens exhibit none but original work will be allowed in it even the most meritorious copying being excluded The Utah members of the National Board of lady Managers of the Columbian Commission are Mrs Margaret B Salisbury Salis-bury and Mrs Thomas A Whalen Miss Margaret Keogh and Mrs Susie B Emery being alternates These ladies have acted as
