Mrs. Eliza A. Orr, with her paper,

programme of the morning. Her remarks
were as follows:
AS one cannot imagine any society without wo-
man, then woman social factor is a self-evi-
dent proposition; but to what extent Is she factor
in society and what is the kind and degree of her
influence are the questions implied in this subject.
The evolutioniss tell us that the first stable 80

Women were not deemed necessary to the un-
fo!ding OF the plot of the story. They were foils
that the power and wickedness of man might be
seen to greater advantage.
Witness Fielding's Amelia, distinguished for her
coniugal affection and tenderness, whom even
Ehackeray admired PAMELA, ''The Reward of

sweetness, constant martyrdom weary the modern
reader, and he turns with relief from these lay
figures Of respectablity and negative virtues.
The characteristics Of the heroines found in the
novels OF that time are in strong contrast to the
distinguishing features marking the herolnes of
our times. The nerves of the hothouse creatures
posing as women in these books were tense their
