before the world ready for any duty, profession,
trade or business
II is not, however the fanlt of the man that
woman did not assert herself before. 10 is not
mans fault, as Mrs. Grand would have us be-
lieve, when she causes Angelica to give us
serensde. about man establishing this and as
serting that, and that she proposed to have
things different in her woman's sphere.
1t is disgrace to man that he did assert
his superiority. 1t is not his fault if he did
so;
IT Is woMAN's FAULT
that she allowed man to assert himself over
her, and it is her fault if she did not sooner dis
cover her error and attempt to correct it.
We have an example in the Indian. The
squaw does all the hard mental drudgery, and
cares for all little pappooses, while the Indian
-man-afraid- to- work--takes it easy. And he
is right to take it as easy as he can, and as

THE VALUE OF REUNION.
Nary L. Best sent pleasant paper to Fifth
National Reunion, giving an account of how
the Loyal Home Workers of Massachusetts,
since their organization into the n. T. c. c.
Guards have enjoyed themselves. This was
read by Secretary Hargrove as part of his
symposium.
The call for meeting is hailed with interest
by all those able to attend. Lay aside all other
engagements to be present. A meeting and
basket picnic is held yearly ON Bunker Hill
Day, June II, following the business meeting
in April. Then, on Labor Day and Washing
toms Birthday, business and social meetings
are held, making four in all.
Nearly all the meetings are held in Friend
ship Hall, Boston. where the neatly-framed
charter hangs All feel at home, and warm
welcome is extended all corners.
Besides these meetings there are the monthly
gatherings of the Division Circle at the homes
of members, which are always pleasant and
profitable. Musical and literary talent is de-
veloped and encouraged, and recitatons add to
the enjoyment of the meetings. A magazine,
edited by Sister Nina Balou, is read at the
meetings
The articles in the magazine Our Banner,
long and short. embrace the grave and gay
poetry and prose, and there are many pathetic
letters. some from those seeking financial aid.
To the Guards it has been great pleasure to
assist those in need. Letters of sympathy and
tokens of remembrance are not forgotten.
All articles are neatly copied and prettily
bound in a booklet with decorated covers
Much pleasure is derived from Our Banner,
and the plan is recommended to other Depart
ments.

friends in Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, and
Tennessee.
