Of nil cutting forms of Injustice slm thought nous so cruel on 1 In. onalslent aa that of women Willi r gardli rolf. maintenance. It was only too uvldenl that women thrown upon their own resoureea ha I a frlghlf il struggle. Tho theory that lha sbiri- of woman Is homotolrt heavily sal-ti her, men taking advantage of It lo furco her f r hire lo . nominal price, and many who cling lo rrtpoctablo cojui atlont, showed high rlnclplrs ud weie real heroines ola life whose haudlworktho wat piuud toluttall In tliueipoiltlou. Mrs. Palmer dilated upon the broad ttritch between the Intory or thu sanctity of homo and the actual status ofallalrsand then turned to what the called dialing with the existing facts. Bho said It wss the hopu lo create cre-ate by mcaus of Ibu cxnotlllou well dellued public nontlruent In rt-gsrd rt-gsrd to the frojrltty of women wo-men maintaining thtlr famlller. It Is ho; id that lue statistics of Ihe board of lady tnanajers would servo toglvoyoua correct Idea of tho number num-ber of women, not only of these Willi-out Willi-out natural rctcciors, lul alsi those forced to work shoulder to shoulder with the butband, without nothing thu numbsr forced to support bust ands In Idlunrss and vies. Mrs.Pulmur then at some length dis. cutted upon the present situation of women, tbiorles and arguments raised for and against, and again com-Ingbickto com-Ingbickto Hit. l.xposillon said, that realizing that woman can never hope to receive a roor recompense fjr their services until her usofulntua .....t succtts Is fully recognised, tho o. por-tunlly por-tunlly lias been taseii advaulagu of I resentid by the Jixtiosllloii, to bring together Mich ovldoncej of her skill as to show her ability. The board, she isld, dll not wish to no uuderstool as placing a sentimental value upon the work of woman be. cause of hersex. It was simply iiopud to place the fsila before the whole world and lot It Judge for Itself. Mrs. Palmer detailed tho difficulties encountered In bringing Iho commissioners, commis-sioners, especially Ihe foreign ones lo a realization ol the fact lhat woman was tilling a sphere greater thau wat thought, nud then returuod thanka to those who had aided lu bringing the woraant exhibit lo Its present stage of perfection. In conclusion Mrs. Palmer aml.lt "Tho tliquent (resident of thn commission com-mission last October dedicated tho great, gnat, great l.xposillon to humanity. hu-manity.
