with a man, Hernano, brother or husband, I presume.  Group 118 devoted to metallurgy, had only one woman exhibitor, Mrs. Abbie Krebs, San Francisco, Cal., who submitted redwood tanks for an award.

I do not recall any award made to a woman in the Department of Mines and Metallurgy.  Many mercantile houses and large corporations were competitors, and, as I said before, many women sent their specimens to their respective State exhibits, and so increased the chances of the State to an award.

    The fine Alaskan exhibition in the Alaska Building was collated,
    I understand, by a woman.  I did not see it and did not learn the
    woman’s name, though I made an effort to do so.

From my observation, I think the work of the women would have been better appreciated and the effect more pronounced had they been placed in a separate building.  In this Department of Mines, for instance, every woman would have sent to the Woman’s Building instead of to the State exhibit, and a greater number would have been on record as exhibitors.

The only two exhibitions, or expositions rather, at all approaching the one in St. Louis that I have attended were the Centennial at Philadelphia, in 1876, and the International Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, in 1895.  At the first I do not recall any emphasis on what women had done, except in the lines in which she had always worked—­art, needlework, and dairy products.  In Atlanta, as at Chicago, there was a Woman’s Building, and here were found her work in all lines, and many visitors enjoyed the exhibition.

The recognition of woman as evidenced by her appointment on the juries of the different departments, both group and department, was the most striking development of the recent great expositions.

    The list submitted below contains the names of all women whose
    names appear in the official catalogue of exhibits in the
