ington, who, in her own words, believing in
the necessity for organized and earnest eff
fort on the part OF the mothers of our land
concerning questions most vital to the best
interests of the home and the welfare of
their children" presented the subject at sew
eral of the woman's meetings at Chautauqua
during the summer of 1895. So immediate
and encouraging was the response from her
listeners that Mrs. Birney was stimulated
to at once being devising plans for holding
a mothers congress.
Success has perched upon her banners, as
surance OF cooperation having been received
by her from we'll known women throughout
the country, as we'll as from prominent
teachers, clergymen and physicians OF the
other sex.
One of Mrs. Birney's stanchest allies
throughout has been Mrs. Phebe Hearst,
wife of the late Senator Hearst of Washing
ton, who has opened not only her heart but
her purse TO the cause. Her own private
residence in Washington has been practi-
cally donated as temporary headquarters
for the reception and disbursement of COM
munications relative to the congress. and the

liveliest interest and sympathy In London
an institute for the education OF blind mutes
has been named after her, and II her life is
spared the future has great trlumphs In
store for this marvellous intellectual child OF
misfortune.
Helen Keller has had a wonderful though
sad career. She was born and spent her
early childhood at her fathers home. in
Tuscumbia, Ala. She was born blind, deaf
and, as her parents soon discovered, mute.
She had none of the senses, except that OF
touch. She had not even the sense OF taste.
Up to her seventh year her mind was a
blank. Her family could only communicate
with her by means OF the crudest signs.
Therefore all that she has accomplished is
the work OF little more than eight years.
To Miss Sullivan, her intelligent and faith
full teacher, Is due much OF the credit OF
unlocking the mysteries OF this child's won
derful mentality. With but one sense to
aid her--that OF touch-one can form an
idea OF the tremendous obstacles the teacher
had to overcome Miss Sullivan began
by a code Of signs impressed upon the
palm OF the child's hands and, after much
patience, succeeded In conveying the first
CLEANS Df understanding TO the virgin
brain. The next task was to teach her TO
speak. and this, too. was soon accomplished,
thanks to the childs eagerness to learn.
The method OF teaching her to utter words
was to have her place the tips OF her fingers

small compass of a little waterproof bag,
and when travelling such an outfit as this
is a priceless treasure. Providing, how
ever, the day is only threatening, she need
not get into her complete wet weather
suit, but can carry along in a neat bit of
a bag another skirt and cape, that has
come to take almost the place of the long
gossamers and hot listers.
These two pieces are in any dark color

waterproof cloth. The cape is almost eX

idea is to obviate the need or passing
