the president had put the seal Of Sc
crecy on the proceedings by closing the
keyhole with borrowed piece Of chew
ing gum, order was restored, and the
following resolutions were adopted:
That life is not what it used to be
when boy could put cannon crack
er under a maiden aunt's chair and
gorge himself with ice cream while the
family were bringing her to;
That unless a boy has a chance to
make himself look like a bursted fire
cracker, there is no way for him to be-
come distinguished, and mothers have
no right to monopolize all the surgical
operations;
That if this demand for everything
noiseless isn't checked soon, mothers will
be refusing the boy babies the doctors
bring them because they are not
equipped with rubber tires;
THAT girls are ideal creatures because
they are happy with dolls, and the only
noise in playing with a doll is a squeak
that is squeaked out the first day:
What Father Did.
That mothers place too much stress
on boys getting their hands shot off,
considering that they never look at their
sons hands without screaming out that
they need washing;
That father used cannon crackers
when he was young, and still has hands
left to spank us"
The discovery that the ladies on the
outside had used the eternal feminine
weapon of defense in boring a hole
through the seal Of secrecy broke up the
meeting, and the gentlemen poured out

But what about the tens of thou

which to stay, whom no man asked to
marry them, and who are fated to
never know the cling of little chill
dren's arms about their necks? It is
all right to say. Back to the home for
yours, sister," to the woman who has
got a good husband, and babies. and a
cottage or a fiat of her own, but how
are you going to keep women in the
domestic sphere who have neither a
kitchen, nor a nursery nor a man Of
their own? l give it up.
Is the woman who paints pictures,
or writes, or acts out of her proper
place? l take it that when the good
God put talent into a woman's head
that He knew what He was about.
and that He intended her to use the
gifts He gave her. Otherwise it would
be a foolish waste Of valuable ma
terfal.

lotte Brontes. no Mrs. Humphry
Wards, none of the thousand delicate
