esty, They seem to be so much Id earnest
in their desire for Improvement that they
lose all consciousness of self, but no whit
of their femininity.
Mrs. Rotan, now ex-presideat, Is a wo-
man so full of the very sweetest humanity
and SO enthused by the desire to Improve
and to be improved, that she could not
fail to inspire the anne desire ~ others
and also to affect them more or less with
her kindly nature. So the proceedings of
the congress were strikingly free from
friction, and the debates carried ON with
perfect humor. This was especially graft
fylng, as II is a standing rebuke to the
many sneers at the wrangling nature Of
women's conventions
The Wednesday club OF Galveston, under
the admirable generaship of their presi-
dent, Mrs. Maria Cage Kimball managed
the business OF the congress in a wonder
fully systematic aud successful way. The
clubs of Texas would do well to copy their
mastery plans, which we're carried out
to the minutest detail. The publishing of
where and by whom the delegates we're to
be entertained was a master stroke, and
the plan of having each delegates name
on the seat assigned TO her In the hall,
insured order in their seating that is emil
nently desirable. Then the thoughtful care
taken for their guests By the women OF
Galveston has certainly added most de-
sirable feather to the cap OF that city.
Mrs, Klmbali both by her hospitality and
her charm of manner. as well as by her
admirable address OF welcome confirmed
TO all strangers the reputation given TO her
by her friends.
OF the many clever papers and addresses
given before the congress, that by Mrss
Mary Burrows Ramsey Of Ell Paso was the
gem, With two close seconds. Mrs. Rotan's
annual address and Mrs. Julius Runse's

Ramsey carried away from the platform

her audience, for her address showed not

Best Results.
HeSOd EIGHT Thousand Dollars Worth of MaChinerO
from Four Dollar Advertisement in The Post.

The Posts competition, there was an as
surance that every bit of manuscript would
be given fair and impartial considera-
ton.
The matter OF reaching a decision was
not at all easy, however as is shown by
the committees report. So many good
stories were submitted that to tell which
one showed the best results was a diff
cult task. The committee gave the matter
earnest consideration, however, and finally
decided that Mr.. Charles L. vickers Of
Houston furnished the best story
of actual results--a story that was proven
by an array of facts and figures, and by a
mass OF actual correspondence he had
with Post advertisers.
The story contributed by Mr. W Mes.
quite of Laurel. Newton county. Texas,
which received honorable mention in the
committees report, will be published in
The Post, as will also several other ex-
ceedingly interesting stories that were
submitted. They all tell of wonderful re-
suits and the letters received have been
very gratifying to The Post management.
Many persons seem to have taken advan
tage of this opportunity to express their
qualification to The Post for assistance
rendered in various ways.
