A Meeting of the Executive Committee

Evening.

So far only the officers OF the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
have arrived in the city, the members
and delegates TO the convention not be-
ing expected before Wednesday.
The officers are housed at the Shore
IN, and there was held there this
morning the first meeting OF the bust
ness committee. which is the board Of
officers. This WITS simply the outcome
OF an all days talk yesterday. when
nothing official could be done. and even
today's meeting brought about nothing
definite. Plans for the work during the
coming year were discussed. and some
suggestions were made as TO what city
shall have tie convention next year. All
Of these matters were left I'm indefinite
shape until the meeting of the execu-
tive committee, which is called for to-
morrow evening. Then it is hoped there
will be a quorum. as this committee
consists of two members from each
State in the Union. none OF whom have
yet arrived.

Observations of Peggy

The lives Of the literary women who
have passed on seem TO bear out this
argument. Either they were unmarried
or their best work was accomplished be-
fore their marriage. Perhaps the single
exception to this rule was in the case
Of the Brownings. for here we have
two people, absolutely at one. yet both
making names which have lived and
VIII yet live for many centuries.
Dickens was unhappily married; Bull
wer was equally wretched: Thackeray's
wife was insane; Herbert Spencer never
met his ideal woman: Washington Irv-
ing was bachelor, and so on.
But doubtless this is all due to the
workings of the law of compensation
To every man and woman is meted out
a certain share OF happiness, in one di-
rection or another. The woman who is
happily married and in whose home
cOntentment reigns, even with dinner
of herbs" envies not her sister who is
great and mayhap miserable; the man
who has " on the woman of his choice
and whose home is blest with one or
two rosy-cheeked toddlers who wake
the echoes when his step resounds in
the hall at evening. willingly relin-
quishes his laurels to his single brother,
who finds solace in his career.
And so it is At the end of the day
every man penny, so the law of COM
pensation works in every life.
