Wears Court Gown
Last night the delegates dressed
up" and went to the reception

Brosseau headed the receiving line.
and wore the dress in which she

Although Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie,
of Boston, whose expulsion from
the organization was upheld by the
congress yesterday, struck back
this morning, there were no indi-
cations that the congress texpected
take any further action in her case.
The congress yesterday voted with
only one dissenting voice to uphold
the decision to expel Mrs. Bailie.
Mrs. Bailie, in her statement said:
THE d. A. r. have dishonored
their own constitution which pro.
vides that an appeal from a de-
cision of the national board shall be
considered by the delegates In Con-
gress assembled upon the full rec.
ord Of the evidence. No such con.
sideration was permitted. and the
delegates, hurried to q vote by the
clique in control, did not know what
the ywere voting about. This de-
ciston was reached after the board
had flooded the membership with
their own propa ganda against Mrs.
Bailie who had no chance to re-
fute it.
Made Laughing Stock
I'm thus affirming the decision OF
the board the delegates upheld the
blacklisting policy which has already
brought disrepute upon the society
and made it the laughing stock Of
the country. If this policy con.
tinues, no intelligent woman will
care to remain in the organizatio
which has been 90 outrageously sub.
verted from It's original purposes
and the public will still enjoy the
spectacle OF the solemn condemna.
tion by self-righteous old ladies' OF
eminent divines ard university men
and women who have the respect
of the nation"
