Thrust the needle through piece Of

Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this: Some day

that women, according to their leisure,

take part increasingly in civic and
municipal affairs, as they have always
done in charitable, philanthropic and
educational activities. And we believe
that this can be done best by women
