Show WOMEN AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. In discussing the probable scope of duties of the Board of Women Managers of the World's Fair at St. Louis, Mrs. Helen Boice-Hunsicker, the mem. ber from Pennsylvania, says: "I agree with a commissioner com-missioner from a western state, who thinks the women could give the best service to the Exposition by making mak-ing suggestions for tlie finishing touches of tho different dif-ferent exhibits, to insure an artistic effect. Besides Be-sides this," she said. "I believe we should put on our best clothes, keep our hair curled and play the hostess. host-ess. There is a strong feeling in the National World's Fair Commission from whom tho Women's Board of Managers get their appointments and instructions, in-structions, in favor of having a building at the fair dedicated to American womanhood and home. I think it is a splendid idea, for it would show the foreigners, especially, who believe that the American women walk slipshod over their husbands, that the men of merica really have great respect and admiration admir-ation for the women." |
