Miss Mamie b. Winston was chairman
for the Monday afternoon meeting Of the
Woman's Club Mr. Roosevelt Page was
the lecturer His subject was THE Legal
Status OF the American Woman at the
End Of the Nineteenth Century
Miss Winston's introduction of the
lecturer was a particularly happy one.
Mr. Page contrasted the position OF wo-
man I'm the past with that in the present,
and made the good point that her pro-
gress and opportunities were more nota-
BILE as civilization advanced. From a
Southern man and thorough representa-
tive of the conservative Old Dominion
the lecture had particular significance
and force.
