location Of the home when it is estab-

will be taken this year because Of the

who care more for the welfare Of our

The business was carried on with
promptness and dispatch, each meeting
beginning at the appointed hour and all
closed on time except the q IN which
the election OF officers took place. The
fact that from a church full Of women it
was with great difficulty that five were
found who would take upon themselves
the duties Of the respective Offices,
should convince any unprejudiced per-
son that women are not clamorous for
Office and that were the ballot given to
them they would not thereby become
unmindful of home duties. Tue reason
that nearly every one gave Tor declining
to accept Office was that her children
and the care of the home demanded her

on the ground OF i~ncompetency, which
proves that at least some women do not
