Girls with Genius and the World’s Fair Embellishments
Special correspondence from Chicago describes how women, many Illinois natives, find new employment at the World’s Fair. Under Lorado Taft, six young women study sculpture, earning five dollars a day, with Miss Julie Bracken leading as the studio’s presiding genius. Bracken, a Galena-born artist, has worked five years in Taft’s studio and just earned a commission to carve a marble statue for Chicago’s Holy Name Cathedral, signaling a breakthrough for American women in art and industry.

MASPECT SHOWN TO WOMEN AND DANCE LESSONS
A discussion on public treatment of women contrasts modern rudeness with past courtesy. The piece cites crowding, foreign-born and uneducated groups, and corporate and municipal conduct as factors. It then describes a dance studio scene with Madame Les daughter detailing steps and student practice, noting the belief that most women can learn to dance with instruction.
