PARLIAMENTARY DRILL.
The next on the program was n par
liamentary drill by Mrs. Stevens.
She defended parliamentary law as
the etiquette df the broader circle of
government. II teaches one how to be-
have we'll In public assemblies. 1t il
necessary to learn how to conduct ones
self in small assembly, in a parlor.
IL one cannot, does not know how to
behave in the little meeting, she cannot
behave properly in the greater assem-
blies. The duties OF women to-day de-
mand that they have all sorts of labor
saving appliances. Parliamentary
usage is such a help.
Madame President Is the correct
form of address of IL woman chairman.
In simple routine business it is permits
sible to use motions not formally intro
duced until ii has been seconded The
one who seconds should rise, address
the chair and be recognized. This IS
the proper form. TO say Are you
ready for the question:" Is superiluous.
No one may speak against his own mo-
ton; he may vote against it.

guidance. as 1t is the best in use, and
used by most deliberative bodies.

a mothers meeting was held at p.
m. yesterday, which was largely at
tended.
The exercises began by singing IT Do
Not Care For Earthly Store" followed
by rending The IUth Psalm and
prayer. by Rev. Graham II. Lambeth.
Mrs. Mary f. Webb read a paper on
Mothers Meeting" She quoted from
Miss Willard. Mothers Meetings are
the Lineal Descendants of the Material
Association OF Sixty Years" The ques-
lion is whether as much is done in the
meetings as in the old days OF self
sacrifice. Each member Of the ma
ternal association thought it her duty
to prepare herself for work by read
ing and prayer. To-day there is no eX-
cuse for lack Of knowledge; there are
so many helps. The vital question is
How shall we so order our lives that
our children may learn from lis truth
fulness and purity?" The w. II. p. A.
publishes so many helps for mothers
meetings that no one need be ignorant
IL she has money to buy them.
Mrs. Stevens emphasized Mrs. Webb's
statements and reiterated DIR. Mary
Wood-Allens books and papers. She
says the best leaflet she knows is Miss
Wizards Safety for School Children"
Perhaps the evils of society were ne
yer discussed so freely as since the
world rang with the awful revelations
of London Life" made by the Pail
Mall Gazette. People were aroused and
began to look into their own cities. and
were appalled, at what they saw. Some
just criticisms are made upon the ex-
pressions used by women in speaking
of social evils. Women should see to
it that no expression open to criticism
is ever used in the privacy of mothers
meetings. Is heredity or environment
man is the heredity of God. There is
always hope in good environment. Use
methods Of teaching which might be
preached everywhere.
Mrs. Pretlow. of the Peace Depart
ment. was introduced. and presented a
number of peace calendars.
A rising vote of thanks was tendernd
