v. w. g. A. Notes.
The board of directors of the local
Young Womens Christian association has
decided to issue a booklet some time in
February showing a floor plan of the
new association building and telling what
will be required to furnish the various
floors together with an estimate of the
cost. The furnishing and equipment of
the building Will cost about $4,000, and
the women feel that something must be
done soon toward raising the necessary
money.
About $50 tickets have been issued for
the Christmas get one" party to be
held in the association rooms Monday
evening, and it is expected this party
will prove one of the most enjoyable of
the year. program has been planned
and refreshments will be served.
AS has been announced several times,
there will be no New Years reception at
the association rooms this year, but
reception week is being planned later on.
Mrs. Emma F. Byers, general secre-
tary of the association, has gone to Chi

Women Teachers RetRliate.
At the last annual meeting of the New
England Teachers association in Boston
all the speakers were men and all the
officers elected for the association, with
the exception of three or four assistant
secretaries, were also men. This was done
in spite of the fact that more than three
fourths of the members of the association
were women.
over in Stark county, Ohio, they do
thinks rather differently. There the women
teachers being excluded from the banquet
of the association, became indignant and
when time came for the election of officers
only women we're elected to serve on the
board for the coming year. The women
teachers declare that they believed that
a mixed board was best. but they We're
determined that the men teachers should
feel what it meant to be weaker vessels.
They formed a majority of the association
and they wanted the men to see what they
could do.
Women Accepted I'm bavaria.
The Young Liberal party of Bavaria at
its recent national conven iJn voted unani-
mously to invite women to join all branches
of its society as soon as they could do
so legally. There is now a movement to
have the old law prohibiting women from
becoming members of political associations
repealed. When this is accomplished 1t is
expected that the women of Bavaria will
avail themselves of the invitation from
the Young Liberals and also that other
political parties will open their doors to
them.
