AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
1t Was Well Illustrated, Well Delivered,
Entertaining and Instructive.

The lecture at Board of Trade hall last
night by Mrs. Maud l.. Green was inter-
esting and instructive and people who
failed to attend missed q great deal.
She is an easy, graceful speaker, has
wonderful command of language and as
she proceeds she illustrates her subject
with rapidly drawn chalk sketches.
She was introduced to the audience last

Women are the real heroes of the

peculiar to womankind in the silence OF

features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines Of care and worry

Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope OF
relief lies in the exposure Of examina-
