The woman's National Council at Wash
 ington in February.
 The most significant sign of the times in the interest of women, and to me the most hopeful sign, is the constantly in creasing spirit of unity and harmony among our sex. The most striking evil dence of this is the women's clubs that are springing up everywhere. Scarcely village in the Union but now has it's club of women, and the best of all is that the clubs are devoted to intellectual improvement and development along various lines. At Washington, in AL baugh's Opera house, from Feb. 22 to 25, will be witnessed one agreeable and use- ful outcome of this extraordinary club activity among women. On that date the Woman's National Council of the United States will hold its first general convention. Women are making for themselves world within world in our time, and it is world full of intel lectual, philanthropic and educational activity. The National Council of Wo- men is to consist of delegates from all the national societies of women in the. United States. Whether it is a temperance, woman suffrage, be- nevolent, industrial, educational, phi lanthropic, artistic or other society, just so it is national in its scope, it is warmly invited to send delegates. One delegate from each society will be represented on the executive committee of the council, the other delegates will be fraternal, and will be welcomed as helping to swell the representation. The delegate on the ex- ecutive committee will give report to the council about what her own particular society is doing, Here it is hoped will meet and grasp one anothers hands in sisterly good will delegates from the Kings Daughters and from the Wom- ans National Liberal union, formed to break up the lines of sectarian separa- tion among women. Here we may ex- pect to greet ladies from the w. c. T. U., from the Women's Press clubs and from the working girls unions Go, by all means, you who can. Help to strengthen the spirit of union among women, and enlarge it till it shall take in all womankind. Weave the strands together till there shall be net work of love and good will binding to- gether all the women in the universe. Then shall the woman's hour indeed be at hand.
 The Woman's National Council of the United States meets triennially. It is the sequence of the International Coun- cil of Women held three years ago at Washington, which made such an i'm pression through the land. American women found out at the international council how much sweeter the voice of the English woman, Mrs. Ashton Dilke, was than the voice of the average Am erican lady. That is because the En- glish strive for musical speaking voice, while American ladies care little about tapparently.
 It is not years that make women old.
 We hear no end of preaching about what woman must be to be good mother, but it seems as if any sort of fellow will do to be father.
 why IS follower of the Delsarte fad like conundrum? Because she is a poser, of course.
 In four weeks of examination of the returns of the census takers, at one cen tral office the only perfect report found was that ofa woman enumerator.
 One good point about farmers socie- ties everywhere is that they are liberal on the woman question. That, too, al. though farmers as a rule are the most ] conservative citizens of a community. ! Already the Farmers Alliance members of the Kansas legislature have intro duced into that body bill granting full suffrage to women 21 years of age and over.
