Among those who attended. the
Dover District meeting, Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society OF Will
niingt0n N. 2. Conference, held in
Laurel NJ. E. Church of which Rev
w. "A. Hearn is the pastor, on Thurs
day of last week, were Rev. e. M.
Shockley and seven members of the
Auxiliary Of this town. Mrs. E. Lee
Culver, district secretary, and Miss
Katherine Truax presided over the

OF the morning session were Our
Daughters May Be AS Cornerstones," ,"
by Mrs. Clinton H. Brown of Will
mington, and where There Is No
Vision The People PERISH" by Mrs.
Frank Wheatleg, of Eeaford, s)r-
merly Miss Ethel Collins of Frank
ford, and a former teacher of the
writer. The noontide prayer was
made by Mrs. E. NJ. ShOckley. After
the business session in the after
noon, Mrs. w. A. Hearn gave a read
ing on the topic, THE Entrance of
Thy Words Giyeth Light" followed
with Good News From a Far COun-
try by Mrs. Gwendoline Narbeth, a
Missionary from Constantine, AL
geria, North Africa. Mrs. Narbeth
opened her address by giving a de-
serlption and demonstration of how
tue women dress in North Africa,
with Mrs. Brown acting as a model.
It was quite interesting to see one
of the real costumes, but it would
be a terrible thing if we were COM
PEELED to wear such an apparel, the
street wrap being a very heavy black |
cloak hanging to the floor and held |
in place by a tight band around the |
head and neck and the face of a wo-
man is always covered with a heavy |
long white veil when on the street. |
This was all removed showing the
dress as worn in the house, there
being three types of dresses, cotton,
woolen, and silk worn by the three
classes of women, from the poor,
middle class and more wealthy fami-
lies, the one shown being worn by
the wealthy women. and the styles
never change-the dresses are al
ways exactly the same Mrs. Mar >
beth told some interesting stories of
how the lives of some of the Mo- !
hammedian women have been trans s
formed after having come i'm contact
with the Missionaries and been con- !
Verted to the Christian faith and al c
so how some of the little girls who
have in some way got into the Mis- L
sion schools and have grown up to g
be fine Christian characters. Our a
Missionary Societies over here in Il
America are helping to make this h
possible. "
