Since brilliant lady lecturers on parlia-
mentary law have been giving instruction
for years to the swell clubs women's
societies are becoming adopts in its prac-
tice, and can disentangle first, second and
third amendments and the previous ques-
tion-can even, l fear, defeat the will of
the majority by sharp practice-with any
legislative body In the land. But ladies'
parliamentary law still survives in the
smaller communities. Its principles are
few and simple.
First. the chairman is literally the speak
and Is expected to do the talking. When
the ladies of a neighboring city met TO
organize a club. and the president was tell
ing them what their name should be, what
they should do and how they should do ii,
one member ventured to suggest a differ
ent plan. IF you think you know how
this club ought to be run better than 1 do
said the indignant president. you Just
come NJ here and take the chair and tell
US how" That she could tell them how
without taking the chair was inconceivable
Second. the discussion must all come be-
fore the motion Is made. Suppose the So
ciety has met to devise some way to raise
money-it usually has. The chairman sug-
gests a plan and asks for discussion. With
some urging the holder spirits speak OF
various things that might be done, point
out objections. conflicting dates. etc.
The woman with the most decided opinions
usually refuses to say a word. except in
energetic whispers to her neighbor. When
the subject has been pretty well thrashed
out and suggestion made that seems to
meet general approval. the president says:
''Will some one put that in the form of a
notion" The most courageous woman
present does so. Some one offers an amend
ment. some one else another. third points
