very able address. She said she did
not come as politician She was
there only TO take part 9n the great
educational movement made necessary
by admitting women to the privileges

that they are not subject to any de-
signing leaders. Even before she be

had had JefferSonian ideas. She be

that they lose vitality and breath. A
political campaign may bring out some
women who have stayed in their homes
too much. The speaker aroused d
great deal of laughter by reading a
poem about the myStical mating of the
hen, the destroying lion and the placid,
timid sheep, the dashing salmon and
the shut-in clam. She said there are a
great many couples mated like that
