They remember her still with affection. "Still, sometimes I am horror- stricken with myself for having in- duced her to remain content so long with so narrow an existence, bucolic and dull and uneventful. Possibly the. time was not wasted. She had quiet and leisure and books, and was all" unconsciously preparing for future activities-her hard, busy, wearing labors of the last filteen years for wo- manhood, for education, for religion, for a nobler social state. It was just preparation time."

In three years she had become one of the most acceptable speakers in the land, and when she abandoned Ox- :ord lecturing for the woman's suf- frage platform she left a gap which' has never since been filled.

"I do not wish to be misunderstood," Professor Abbot here interposed, "All, th students are not discourteous, cer- tainly. But some are, and these are the ones who we do not take pleasure in claiming as graduates of our Uni- vx'rsity."

"You see many men stretching and yawning in class, or sitting with their feet propped on the benches in front of them. Then they come up to you after class and begin with a 'Say, Mr. Abbot,' or 'Listen.' To correct such speeches is, of course, within my prov- ince as an instructor of rhetoric, but there are many glaring social improp- rieties which I cannot criticize with-I out hurting the offenders' feelings."

Men, too, like buying expensive things, the court pointed out during trial in the king''s bench division of a firms suit against a woman who had contracted for a quantity of fashion- able clothes for which she had never paid.j "I really believe that if champagne were six pence a bottle," remarkedI the judge, "tomorrow far less of it would be drunk." Justice McCardie discussing the at- traction of high prices with. plaintiff's counsel fearlessly suggested that women favor fur coats chiefly on ac- count of their costliness.

On the last day, Mrs. Carrie Chap- man Catt, of New York ended an ad- dres's with the words "Go home not to tell how nice this congress was, but go home to work." Professor Maurette, Sir George Paish, and Rear-Admiral Allan asked that women lead the men into the way of greater activity in behalf of arbi- tration, security, and disarmament. Miss Ruth Morgan, New York, chairman of the congress expressed her gratification at finding in Europe so many efficient women. Lady Astor was the chief speaker at the congre'ss.
