Most interesting reports come from
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, president Of
the international Council of Women. of
the successful work which Is being done
by various national councils and the
encouraging progress In the prepare
lions for the great QulnQuennial Con-
gress which will take place in Berlin
next year. The one held in London in

representative and significant convoca-
ton Of women ever held with dele
gates present from most of the civil
ICED countries Of the world. The labor
Of preparing for such a meeting Is
tremendous, Mrs. Sewall is keeping
three secretaries constantly employed
and during the first week Of this year
hundreds Of individual letters were sent
out In addition 10 the official bulletin
She has long cherished the hope which
is not yet wholly abandoned. that she
might make q trip around the world
and visit personally all the councils be-
fore the next congress. Such action
would greatly stimulate interest and
increase the attendance. The presl-
dent Is elected for five years and is not
eligible for reelection until a term has
interviewed The Countess Of Aberdeen
was Mrs. Sewalls predecessor and in
dlcatons are that she will be her sue
cessor
The International body Is composed !
at present of Il national councils repre-
settings as many countries. Three en- !
tered last year-those Of Victoria, South |
Australia and Austria. and several |
more viii be organized this year, Mrs, |
Sewall will preside IN the summer Of |
1904 over the most eminent body OF |
women ever assembled. and II Is doubt |
full II even her command OF English, |
German and French viii be sufficient TO |
meet the needs Practically every de-
partment OF work in which women are |
engaged will have It's most prominent |
representatives there as speakers. |
Much curiosity Is felt as to the attl-
tude which Emperor William will take |
toward the congress Its members will I
have departed afar from the three
spheres which he assigns TO women
the kitchen the nursery and the church,
but his august grandmamma gave Il
her ROYAL sanction and the nobility OF |
England honored Il with their presence.
His majesty could learn a great deal
by attending these meetings and Ger
many should not allow herself 10 be
outdone In diplomatic courtesy, even
though her women win probably get
some advance ideas which their lords
and masters win never be able TO
eradicate. American women especially
are likely to leave a trail Of strong
minded bacilH which il would puzzle
even Yirchow to find an antidote
for.
At the meeting Of the National Young
Mems Christian association in Wash
inrton quite recently President |
Rooseyelt said IN the course Of his
speech:
eve see an around us people who
say. oh well things viii come out all |
right SO they will. but they will come
ont an right moi because there are men
who are content to say they will, Tut
because there Is O sufficient number or
earnest men, with the root OF righteous
ness IN them. who are bound 70 see
that they come out right
This sentiment Is especially applica-
HE 10 the cause of woman suffrage.
There are thousands az men and women
who believe In Il thoroughly and hope
