SHE COULDN'T CARRY A CHAIR.
One Mother Who Was Not Par
ticularIy Helpful

| No one doubted the wisdom of the change
| OF hall from the hotel TO the church who
/ reached the church after the session had
| opened. Every pew was crow ded. every
! aisle was filled When each seat was taken
| women went down to the lecture room
| and brought up chairs for themselves One
| small, delicate, gra y-haired woman stood
on the steps in everybodys way, and
begged plaintively that somebody would
| fetch her seat. Probably fifty mothers
had hustled by with humorous disregard
OF the wall when a woman with grave
eyes and a reliant mouth stopped and
asked her seriously why she didn't fetch
one for herself The small woman said
she never had carried chains up steps. and
she felt that she was a trifle too old to
begin. 1t WASH t much OF a reason, but it
must have satisfied the questioner, for
She went down, hauled chair up the
steps and planted it inside the door OF the
auditorium. The small woman sat down
with purr of satisfaction, and the woman
with the grave eyes stood behind her un-
til the meeting was closed.
The galleries were as crowded as the
body OF the church, eacn window seat was
crammed, and two rash young mothers
perched themselves on tie marble slab e
the furnace. and enjoyed it enough to stay
there until i vacating member gave them
a chance az a chair, which they CiviIed
between them with every appea rance OF
content until it was time to 90 home
One OF the most urgent requests sent out
by the officers Of the congress was that
every woman who attended the sessions
should remove her hat. 1t needed only
most casual survey OF the big audience TO
prove that the women had not obeyed
There were the usual exceptions, Of course,
but they made a scant showing in the
hated and bonnetted thronG. They were
stylish hats and bonnets, however, and so
uniformly small that no one thought of
complaining.
Z he well-known writer, Mrs. Harriet Lin
coin Coolidge, Of New York city. editor
of Trained Motherhood is a member
OF the Congress. To this lady is due,
probably more than to any other one wo-
man, the general interest in this Mothers
Congress. She has for years given her
time, talent and money to forming mothers
clubs, training classes, fitting up nur-
series, lccturing and writing for the object
nearest her heart, viz: The training and
education Of mothers. With hef husband
and youngest son she is stopping at 90s
Mcpherson Square, while in Washington.

Gloyd by the congregation, as would have
been had they known of the exact time
of his arrival. He was, however, greeted
after the service OF the Sodality of the
the Blessed Virgin, when the members
flocked to the rectory to congra tulate them
selves and him upon his safe return.
AT the little supper given in his honor
there were present the Rev. Father MCGEE,
DR.. Stafford, Rev. Father Caughey and
Rev. Father o'Connell, OF st. Stephens
and Rev. william II. Clements, nephew
of Father Gloyd, who came on for the
occasion.
The decorations of the diningroom were
very tasteful, among them being the ma
tional flag.
Father Gloyd had an audience with the
pope on the Sunday after his arrival in
Rome. He saw a great deal of Bishop
Keane while in the Holy City, having been
located with him at the Hotel Minerva
for several weeks. The bishop is STA
toned at the Canadian College for the
