Uf all exlttiUr- forms of Inlu.tlco sho thought uone so cruel au luiuuslstent aa that of women with r gird ti roll, maintenance. It waaouly too evident Hint women thrown upon tbelrown retourcis hal a frlgbtfjl struggle. The theory that tbu sphere ol woman Is homo Ink heavily aal-l her, men taking adautaga uf It to force her f.r hire to a nominal prliv, and many who cling to rrspeitablu lobulations, showed high rlnclplta and were real herolucs ola Uie whote handiwork she wai pruud to Install lu thueiposltlou. Mrs. Palmer dllttej upon tbe broad stretch between tbe tneory of tho sauttlty of homo and Hie actual status ofallalreand theu turned to what she called dealing with the existing facts. Bbeaald It was (be hope to create cre-ate by means of tbo exposition a well defined public sontlruent In rt-gtrd rt-gtrd ta the rroprlety of wo-moil wo-moil iiialntalulng their famlller.

Mrs.Palniur then at some length dis. cuttod upon the present situation of women, thiorles and arguments raised for aud agaluit, and again coming com-ing back to the l.xpotlllon said, that realizing that woman can never hot to receive a roor recompense fjr tbelr services uutll her uiufulnesa and succtBS It fully recognised, the opportunity oppor-tunity lias been taueu udvaulage of I retented hy tbo i.xjioaltlon, to brlug together ruch evidences of her skill us to show her ability, Thu hoard, she said, dli uot wish la bo iiuderstool as placing a sentiniiutal value upon the work of woman because be-cause of her sex. It wi simply hoped to place Hie ftcls before the whole world and let It Judge for Ilielf. Mrs. Palmer detailed tho difficulties encountered lu brlaglug tbe ooiumls Blotters, especially tbe foreign onealo a realization ol tbe fact that woman was tilling a sphere greater than was thought, and then returuod thanks to those who had aided In bringing tbe woilnns exhibit to Ita pieteut stage of perfection.
