Every seat in the large auditorium
was taken at this session, the occasion
being the reading OF paper by that
we'll known reformer, Mrs. Kate Upper
Galpin.. This meeting was the only one
to which gentlemen were invited, and
they appeared to have taken advRn-
tape of the opportunity.
Mrs. Stephens presided. Seated upon
the platform we're Mrs. Galpin, Mrs. e.
A. Lawrence and Mrs Myra D. Camp
bell Of this city, and Mra Flow Haines

Woman as Factor in Economics was
the title OF Mrs. Galpin's paper. She
favored the audience with carefully
prepared thoughtful and we'll worded
address. She doos not in the least mince
matter, but appreciates that che ie there
to talk upon subject and does 40. She
speaks without gestures and experienced
no difficulty, though speaking in a mod.
crate tone OF voice, in being heard
throughout the entire church.
She introduced her paper by saying
that there we're two theories OF econom.
les, the oriental and the occidental.
According to the frat, the individual
was the unit and the consumption OF
the individual was restricted to the

posed upon her. 1t ie to the above
condition that woman has arisen and
is competing with man both in profess

inherent restless characteristic of doing
something OF her great good mother had
descended to the present generation.
Woven need not be ashamed to work.
Honest labor never has disgraced any
woman but many a foolish woman has
disgraced honest work.
Woman should not ask for any lem
iency towards her work because OF her
sex. Every time she accepts these
fsvors she does wrong both to herself
and her work.
The household was next discussed and
treated ably. The speaker scknowl-
edged that the domestic dutiea were the
more important and while woman
should not neglect then che could per-
form other work also by a species OF in
tercultivation. Just as on orchard of

The relation of motherhood to child
