representative of the Associated
Press has interviewed the Countess of
Aberdeen and others regarding the prac-
teal results likely to accrue from the in
ternational council of women. Lady
Aberdeen, who is an enthusiastic admir-
er Of the American and Canadian dele
gates, said
EVERY one of them was a skilled eX-
pert and most of thaci were trained
speakers, whim the congress was delight
ed to hear, which cannot be said in re-
gard to many other speakers. The Amer
leans, as rule. were better Informed
more decided in opinion and further ad-
vanced on the leading topics than any
of the other delegates. They fairly out
stripped the English women. who. how
ever. were better informed than the conti-
mental delegates in general knowledge of
the subject pertaining to women. Mrs.
Sewall won the congress from the first.
She has extra aordinary tact in dealing
with such large gathering. Miss Susan
B. Anthony's powerful advocacy of wo-
mems claims distinctly added to her al
ready great reputation. Regarding the
results, the grand consummation has
been reached of welding together a cos
mopolitan body of thoughtful women,
prepared to educate their fellow women.
Twenty-Five years hence the leaven of
today will have leavened the whole world
