To-day the International Council OF Women
was told by distinguished women what the power
Of organization is, how women have organized
and what such organizations are doing 1t is no
wonder II the fifteen hundred or more women who
heard these addresses got it into their heads that
women could run the world il they chose without
the aid OF man. What the ultimate results
OF this International Council may be Is
matter OF conjecture - conjecture nlled
with dread, perhaps, for man; but
one can fancy he sees some OF the immediate
results in the troops or women. young and DID,
who flock to the opera house every day. And even
the young lady promenaders on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. seem to have been infected by the spirit of in
dependence. They carry their arms q little more
akimbO, and their umbrellas are swung with the
v1gor OF new Inspiration. The council seems to
have braced the young women up in wonderful
degree and made them realize that women do
amount TO something after all. They have before
them every day examples OF
WOMEN WHO HAVE DARED, AND WHO HAVE ACHIEVED
so, very naturally they tilt their hats to one side
and perhaps swagger just a little bit. There are
evidences also Of the process Of evolution in many
noses that used to be quite straight. Now they
seem to be getting pquant upward turn, as II

out into physical expression. What al this

Mrs. stanton, with barricided streets guarded
