employed to model the caryatides supporting the roof garden, and
competition has been invited among women for the statuary above
the roof line, and the relief compositions in the main pediments of
the building. Several large surfaces adapted to mural painting
will be intrusted to such women as have sufficient experience to
warrant their being intrusted with so important a task. It is also
hoped that they will furnish most of the interior structural decora-
tions.
There will be an opportunity given to those desiring it, to
incorporate intended exhibits in the construction of the building,
in a manner both practical and artistic—such, for instance, as
carved wainscoting and balustrades for the staircases, open carved
screens, ornamental iron and brass work, hardware, decorative
tapestries and panels, etc.
Any art association or individual women who wish to place
such decorations in the Woman's Building are requested to notify
the Secretary of the Board of Lady Managers as soon as possible,
in order that arrangements may be made, the details of dimensions
sent to them in ample time, and space reserved for the insertion of
their work.
The Woman's Building will contain ample social head-
quarters, parlors, balconies, and roof gardens; reading, writing, and
committee rooms; a great congress hall in which organizations
and clubs of women may meet for the interchange of ideas and to
hear addresses by distinguished visitors; headquarters for the Press
women, etc. These with many other features of interest are offered
freely to all women.
One room will be reserved for a library of books by women,
and another for the records and statistics of such employments in
which women are engaged, as can not well be exhibited. There
will also be a model hospital, with women physicians and trained
nurses in attendance, and adjoining it a Department of Public Com-
fort for the care of women and children overcome by fatigue or
sudden illness. The systems of the various training schools for
