Miss Elise Mereur of Pittsburg, who esigned tlie Woman's building of the Cotton States exposition, now in process f construction, discourses upon "The Wom;in Architect. ' ' She believes there s a mighty field open to her sex in domestic architecture. By what logic a maa, ignorant of the processes of domestic affairs, convinces himself that he s qualified to plan a convenient home jasses her comprehension. She thinks hat the noble arniy of household inaryrs who are now slaving away their lives in ill designed houses are ready to rise up and cali blessed the woinan architect who shall design ' ' the labor saving, perfect home of the future. ' ' She denies with authority the slander uttered in a recent journal that as soon aa a vroman can design a building she "parts her hair on the side and assumes mannish airs and garb. ' ' On the contrary, the woman architect is usually a most refined and frequently an elegant woman.
