Call for the Second Tricnnial Session of the
 National Council of Women of the United
 States.
 The first TrIennial session of the National Council of Women of the Unit ed States was held in Washington in 1891. The second session would have occurred in 1894 but for the fact that the organization of the Worlds Con- gress of Representative Women. held In Chicago in 1893, was entrusted to committee of which the president and the corresponding secretary of the Ma tional council were, respectively, chair man and secretary. The time and strength of these executive officers be- ing thus diverted from national to in- ternational plans, 1t was ordered by the executive committee of the National council that four instead of three years should elapse prior to its next regular public session, the date of which was then fixed for 1895. The attention of women throughout the country is thus early solicited to the following points relating to the approaching triennial. I.

A second re- ligious service will occupy the after noon of Sunday, February "A. III. Exclusive of the Sunday meet ings, there will be twenty-seven ses- sions of the council proper, twelve morn ing and twelve evening sessions. The morning sessions will open at 10 a. m. and adjourn at 1 p. m.

The remaining nine morning sessions will be filled by programs made by the committee of ar- | engagements of the National council. Topics of broad general interest will
 be introduced at these sessions by an adquate address, which will be followed by discussions in which only duly ac- credited members of the Triennial coun- Gil may participate, as follows: (a.) The general officers of the Ma tional council.
 (b.) The patrons of the National coun- ell.
