additional besides the present sem
tence.. Judge Barham replied that
the jury had considered his case well
and fixed the punishment and that ne
could not interfere. Jordan sank back

HE Young Ladies' Mutual Improve
L ment association had its inception
in the home of Brigham Young, 40
years ago. At this time, 1859, there
was n departure from the simple pio-
neer life noticeable, especially among
the women of the Church. Peace and
prosperity had opened up the way for
extravaganza in cooking. Particularly
on festive occasions there was rivalry
among the housewives as to who
should have the greatest number and
variety of dishes. The young girls
wore procuring fashion plates from the
east and were going to extremes In
following the fantastic fashions then
In vogue. President Young wisely
thought retrenchment was necessary.
That 1t might begin in his own house
hold. he organized his daughters into
a Young Ladies' Retrenchment So
cicty In November. 1869. Eliza r. Snow,
who was present at this initial or
ganiZatlon, was authorized to go about
among tho girls effecting organlza-
tions. the purpose OF which was to en-
courage modest. plain and sensible at
tire and to educate the girls in the
gospel Of Jesus Christ. President
Young placed the mission of retrench-
ment among the older women upon
Mrs. Mary Isabella Horne. She be-
came the president of the SEWER
branch Of the Ladies' Cooperative Re-
trenchment society.
The girls societies. that is. the
junior branch OF the various wards of
the city, made their reports regularly
at the sessions of the senior depart
ment

The first ward organization was that
of the Nineteenth ward AS the work
spread outside of Salt Lake City
Into all the town of the saints there
was need for closer supervision, so
the senior and junior branches OF Re
trcnchment gradually separated. and
stake boards were organized to super
wise local associations. Mary Isabel
la Horne continued to travel with
Eliza r. Snow and Zina D. II. Young
aiding In the organization of the girls.
The scope of the work widencd; i'm
provement was tho general aim; and
the specific purpose was the obtain
Ing OF n testimony of the truthfulnesS
of the gospel
When the young men of the Church
were banded together under the title
Young Mems Mutual Improvement as
ISOLATION. a name chosen by President
Young, he suggested that the name of
the Retrcnchment society be changed
to Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement
association. With the adoption of the
new title, and the stimulus of the
brother organization, the membership
grew rapidly and the work was broad
ened
The general board. at first termed
Central Board, was organized under
the direction of President John Taylor
on June 10. 1850. about 10 years after
tho genesis of the movement in the
Lion house. with Elmina S. Taylor as
president
In the IS years which Mrs Taylor so
ably directed the fortunes of these So
cieties. changes occurred which. re-
viewed without the intermediate steps.
