His remarks seemed to bear more heavily on the female portion of the commun- nity, perhaps because there were more of them present. He drew vivid illus tration by citing an instance of young | lady who had just expressed a strong | lady in a mixed company but was the first one to greet her most cordially and l effusively on her entering the room.

The address WAS good and would doubtless have been wholesome for larger audience.
