Your correspondent was called on TO
address the ASSOCIATION aud MAS heartily
received by this most excellent ana
intellectual body OF women. We had
little idea that the women OF the press
of Michigan were so numerous aud 90
thoroughly alive To newspaper inter-
ests. An experience meeting was held
after adjournment in Evslyn hall /,
which was UNIQUE and intensely inter
esting. ftwould be interesting read
ing Il each experience could be gwen,
hat space forblds the mention OF each
L. detail.
The experiences, however, showed
the tact and push OF woman and the
necessity for her presence IN journal
ism. One heroic looking little woman
gave an experience that would have
dszed even the most chivalric. Her
husband died, and the paper WAS left
on her hands with no experience and
no extra money. she bought . dc
tsonary, walked into the office. took
hold OF the business aud editorial man.
sgement herself. and today has pros
porous paper with a good circulation.
Que lady rocked the cradle with one
hand and wrote copy with the other.
Other experiences were equally interest
ing. and tins scribe felt highly honoreI
on being permitted to hear them.
We have nothing but the highest COM
pIiments for the Woman's Press asso-
cation of Michigan. Their presence in
hfung journalism TO higher and
purer standard will be hailed With de-
light.
