most pleasing and sympathetic.
An Able Paper.
Mrs. N. c. Young, wife of Chief
Justice Young of Fargo, followed with
a Solution of the Problem" which
most excellent paper closed the days
proceedings. The lateness of the hour
made it necessary for very many of
the women who had home duties to be
absent during the delivery of this
paper, and all conceded that to have
missed hearing the same would have
been great loss. Aside from the fact
of Mrs. Young's magnificent address
and fine preparation for the giving of
such a paper she was able to carry
conviction with every sentence ut
tered, because of the fact that all
knew she was expressing her own per-
sonal belief, won from experience in
her own home. The paper will be
published in full in a later issue of
the Tribune. The general wish was
expressed among the women of the
state that Mrs. Young might frequent
ly be heard from along the lines of
interest to the homes and women of
the state.
Friday Morninu,
After invocation offered by Rev. c..
E. White of Bismarck, Miss Curry of

to respond. The report of the creden-
tails committee was then given by
Mrs. Gage of Bismarck, when the
names of the forty-three delegates and
ten officers were read and reported as
having submitted credentials. Miss
Helen Wilson of Bismarck. then sang
'The Merry Brown Thrush" and all
who heard the solo felt that Miss Will
son is indeed gifted in song. She
responded to encore with pretty air
The address of the president Of the
state Federation, Mrs. H. S. Oliver Of
Lisbon, was then listened to, the ad
dress in full being given in this issue
