The members of 81. Marks Women's
Guild. assisted by the Daughters OF the
Guild gave most successful SOCIAL IN
the pariors of the cid Rainier hotel last
Wednesday afternoon. Society was well
represented and the afternoon was enjoy
able as well as profitable. Rev. Herbert
Gowen rector of Trinity. gave most IN
teresting address on ''Womanhood."
Mr. Gowen in beginning said 1t had been
asserted that the worst vice in the world
was advice, and that the only person more
unwise than he who gave advice was ne
who took IL. This might be an extreme
statement hut he wished TO disciaim any
special fitness for giving advice TO those
before him. and could conceive that his
remarks might by some advanced repre-
senta,ives of the sex be received with
whitening scorn. Lady Henry Somerset
had declared that the clergy were the
worst foes OF the emancipation of women.
and as lady preacher had discovered
Scrpturai authority Cor men washing
dishes ne felt he might be relocated to the
kitchen instead of being accepted as an
adviser.
He could not agree with those who said
that woman had had little power in the
worlds great movements She may not
have used the same weapons as the man.
but nevertheless woman had been ever
more the helper and oftentimes the IN
spirer OF the man. Like the nyrnph In
Erowning's 'Numpholeptos. she had oc-
cupied the center OF great wheel or light
and had continually been sending forth
the man along it's radii to explore the I'M
known and bring back It's fruits 10 lay at
her feet. II could not be said that women
had had no influence ca the worlds poll
tics when We called to mind Helen OF
Troy, Cleopatra or Zenohta. Even
Pericles had had All Asrasia, and Numa
PompIiius reformed Rome under the guild
ance of Ezsria. In English history what
periods were more glorious than the reigns
OF Eliza beth Anne and Victoria. Could
1, be said that women had had no infIu-
ence on literature when Dante had written
his .sI1ivina rommedia" with the Image
Of Beatrice before him and Shakespeare
had given US no perfect man but scores or
perfect women And everybody knows
that in church work At least woman has
had scope worthy of her powers OF sym
