Some OF the ladies' welknown in society became
Interested I'm getting signatures to the petitions,
and they asked others to aid in the work That
led to conversations at n number OF receptions
and afternoon The ladies began TO read up on
the subject and give serious thought to 1t.
Considerable literature in the shape of leaflets and
tracts has been circulated. and the result is that
we have new understanding Of the subject

leaders in the movement arranged to have petitions
for signatures at Sherrys, AT flfth-ave ana Ihr'y

charge OF the petitions there every day. Many
thousands OF names have been appended TO the
papers there but the movement has spread Some
