In the meanwhile the Man Hating club
still retains two girl captives, Minnie

Rules of the Club.
They are forbidden to see or speak TO
any man.
They are not allowed to engage in any
form of religious worship. Absence OF
definite religious tenets is one OF the
principles on which the community Is
founded.
They have never been permitted % go

They are never allowed to nave a cent

II is an old story that love viii find

Nevertheless, the place had been her

made up her mind that she would not
leave IL secretly, or be afraid 70 claim
the freedom to which she was entitled.
So, when from the window she had wav-
cd her lover back. she went down, prob
ably. into the general parlor, where Miss
Holtzclaw, the governing manager, and
the elders Of the organization were as
sembled IN grim conversation over their
knitting, and told them that she was GO
ing away-that she was going 10 be
married
They had very little 20 say IN reply.
