very amusing incident occurred the other day
among the members of the " WOman's League Of
France An edict was recently issued by the

resgnatio to the body of which she has so long
been an honored and efficient ornament The
edct was couched in the following terms We

de Valsayre when she realized that her wishes had
been overruled in the matter; her language ioi

overwhelmed by the magnitude OF her wrongs
