Ol NGueDe0 The colony thus inaugura- l ted was increased from time to time by ! the emigration of small groups of wo- I men from the mother country. These
 IeW heroic souls, the pioneer women of 1 Canada, played an important part in
 US SreWth and are as worthy of eternal l Temembrance, as their Anglo Saxon
 sisters of New England. Yet wit few
 exceptions, they have waited in vain
 TOT poet to tell in immortal verse
 their heroic deeds, or an historian to | pefpetuate their fame The history of
 many of these women never will be ! Known, for it is buried under the soil ! ilolstehed by their sweat and tears. !"
 A comparison between these two
 companies of pioneer women, the Ca Hadlan gentleWomen, and the Pilgrim mothers would result in no discredit to the former Although the French women were dominated by strange su- perstitions and frequently inspired by supernatural visions, they never be- | came slaves to witchcraft, as did their New England contemporaries. Many of them would even nowadays be re- garded as 'emancipated' and 'ad- Vanced: Yet it was nearly three cen turies ago that Judith de Bresoles re- nounced the luxury of a wealthy and aristocratic home and devoted seven years to the study of medicine and chemistry, that she might become phy- sician and nurse to the savages of the new world; that Marguerite de Rober- val, descendant of long line of cava- Hers and noble danes, wandered alone fhrOIJph the ho11DtaH of mons Isle, and kept at bay the wild beasts of the wilderness with her old French harquebus; that Marie Guyard, with her few brave assistants, delicate ly nurtured and high born women of France, made of themselves in turn, mechanics, architects and farmers in their adopted land; that those dainty nurses, the hospitalieres of Quebec, dyed their cherished white gowns a dull brown that they might follow their profession more efficiently amid the smoke and uncleanliness of the squalid wigwams."
 The coming of these delicately- y-reared women to the new world was partly in response to urgent cries for women's help from the missionaries. The au-
