many directions. Increased interest in
all local and organized work is mani
tested by every society within the coun-
ell, while energetis efforts are being
put forth to reach all classes and con-
ditions of women hitherto unconverted
to any special form of organized ac-
tivity Especially is this the case in
regard to the Hawaiian women. In the
near future a state council and many
local councils may be organized in
Hawaii.
Mrs. May Wright Sewall is very busy
indeed preparing for publication the
minutes Of the last two sessions of the
N. C. w, and in further arrangements
for fun surrender of the new eXecu-

ed presidency of the United States
Council of Women. Mrs. SewaH is
honored and honorS America by hold
ing the vice presidents office in the in
ternational Council of Women. Under
her charge, the American preparations
for the great quinquennial are going
forward with earnestness and enthusi-
asm.
Mrs. Francis Humphreys Caffney of
New York, the new president of the n.

American womanhood is proud of
the fact that Mrs. Susan B. Anthony
and DR.. Anna H. Shaw are to repre-
sent our women in the quinquennial in
London. Miss Anthony stands unequal
ed both yesterday and today in the
strength and power of her own beau
tiful womanhood and in the logical
persistence with which she has won
the hardest part of the battle of equal
rights for men and women. We who
know the grand presence so well, with
the kind eye beaming through its spec
tacles; tn rich gray hair coiled as of
old on the shapely head; the dropping,
firm, yet tender mouth, and the strong
true face; we fully expect TO see Miss
Anthony win every English heart as
she has won the love of the best Ameri-
can womanhood.
What conservative old London is go
ing to say when the brilliant and elo-
Quent Rev. Anna II. Shaw appears on
their horizon is a question which we
all are asking. They are sure to adj
mire the innocent loneliness of the face
which has lost none of its youthful

what will they do with those golden
arrows Of her eloquent responsiveness
which are always tipped with drop
of bitter facts and which stick under
the skin and refuse to be withdrawn?
The American woman, and certainly
the American woman who has a mes
sage to deliver from pulpit, is still
an anomaly to the European mind.

some great results If a neighborhood
or town can unite its women on a given
subject, success is assured. What, then.
may we not hope from the united eff
forts of the women of nine nations?
