been better baked. Some of il misht have
been reduced TO ashes with advantage.
And there IS another side 20 the ques-

In mute establishment we bend,
with all our male inferior race.
Before the ladies who attend
In great Chicago, wondrous place!
Who scoffed before are now become
Discreetly still, profoundly dumb.
Seven DAYS they met and then dispersed
with nothing further TO be done,
For every question last and frst,
They'd wholly settled. one by one;
In comprehensive view they saw
Philosophy and civil law.
They spoke OF schools, Of charity,
And science found its proper part;
Religion and philanthropy
Were Joined with literature and art;
No theme too great. and none too small
They simply finished one and all.
