A sweet-Faced Little Woman.
Mrs. Ballington Booth, the Saliva
ton Army commander, accepted an in
vitation to deliver an address before
the members of the exchange.
She is small. gracefully formed. has a sweet
face, and was led on the floor by the president
of the exchange. Mrs. Booth prefaced her re-
marks by saying that it was the first time in
her life that she had ever addressed an au-
dience like that which stood before her. and
she fully appreciated the necessity of being
brief. The great trouble with most women,
she said, snlilingly. was that they never knew
when to stop when they once got started.
She then gave brief history of the work and
object of the Salvation Army, and referred
with great pleasure to the fact that the con-
tempt in which the army had been held was
now thing OF the past, and it received help
and aid on every hand. She related with great
feeling number of pathetic stories of her
visits to the slums OF various cities and in con-
clusion said she was proud to be known as .
salvation Army lass.
Il am very proud OF this bonnet she said.
''Prouder of it than any women can be OF one
OF those fashionable affairs covered with birds
and feathers: 1t is a protection to me when /
go into the Sums among the outcaSt and fall
en- 1t Is my badge. and am proud to wear it,
Her remarks were listened to with respectful
whom remained after change hours. It was
the almost universal opinion that Mrs. Booth
mao better and more appropriate address
members the week before.
