'nat on saturday last, nearly sixty ladies were
present at its meeting with Mrs. Harden on
Bridge Hill. Some exceptions having been
taken to Mrs. Virgins paper n"Our Homes"
read at former meeting, by special request It
was read again. that it might be discussed.
Mrs. Wiggin had evidently studied the subject
practically, and presented woman as the true
h1me-nid6er from the fourfod standpoint Of
house-keeper, wife, mother and social being.
She advocated the cultivation of the moral and
spiritual welfare of the household even ut the
expense OF the material and physical, and
to accomplish this she urged the utmost truth
fitness and sincerity, coupled with hearty
adherence Of all shams and subterfuges in
family and social life. Mrs. Clara Hopkins
Followed with very able paper on the same
subject. She treated it chiefly from the stand.
point OF wife and mother. and while she en-
dorsed many of Mrs. Virgins points. she
antagonized some OF them, yet an impartial
critic could not fail to observe that however
I different might be the methods advocated.
each had the same end In view, viz the
making OF pure. beautiful home, whose
atmosphere is love. Mrs Cora Welch supple
mented these papers by reciting a poem Of
GOLDSMITH, showing that ones country is
always home to the patriots heart She also
read interesting descriptions OF the homes OF
the Princess OF Wales and Mrs. Gladstone.
| Both of these homes seemed realization Of
| tue ideal home OF the preceding papers and
! deepened the impression already made that the
wife and mother is the true home-maker The
/ subject was then thrown open for general dis
cussion, but strange to say, those who criti.
/ cised before were silent now. Mrs. Wiggin
then replied 10 some Of the points criticised,
giving the authority for her statements. Sew
! eral good points were made by Others and
| Mrs. Greely closed the discussion She clearly
showed that the true home must be made by
| the united love OF the husband and the WIFE
The two must become essentially one-one in
aim, one in interest. one in purpose, one in
lore-or the home will be defective and
msrred warped from Gods ideal Such frank
discussions by earnest, home-loving women
cannot fail TO have Il purifying influence on
the homes they represent, as well as on the
community at large which feels the influence
OF such homes. "A little leayen eaveneth the
