her predecessors, appears on all state oc-

the attention Of gifted minds and gives
new strength for these duties which make
up the main business Of human life. When
women accomplish such results they have
filled no ordinary sphere or mission.
No exalting influence can exist in So
ciety without an attractive power in the
women who compose it. A crowd does not
make society; an assemblege Of women and
men must have the charm Of refinement.
culture, and good nature to make 1t an at
tractive power. There must be the appen-
dage of wisdom learned by experience;
the knowledge of contact with the world,
through books, travel, intercourse. Such
become the mentors of society by force OF
silent influence.
We must record that the present Admin
istration has among the ladies Of the Cabl-
net those Of culture and wide social expert
