AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALED.

First Standard Bearer for the

opportunity to make an appeal for the

She sprinkles argument with her sea-

kitchen; she serves arguments with
greetings in her parlor, and she pesses
them over the counter to the butcher
and the baker
She has found recently to her dis
tress, that members of the Home Mis-
sionary society of her church are very
lukewarm on the question of suffrage.
This great lack of progression has APP
pealed to her as strongly as the lack
