Discussion. 



The President : We do not want to rob the ladies of one single 

 minute of their work. Their session will be a very interesting one, 

 and we would like to have all remain for two reasons, first, for the 

 good they can get themselves out of this session, and, second, out 

 of respect to the women who are doing such a noble work and are 

 doing it purely for the good of the cause. Now we will change 

 from the horticultural society to the Ladies' Auxiliary. 



WOMEN'S AUXILIARY. 



Miss Emma V. White, president of the Auxiliary, presiding: 



Miss White : Last year was the first time we appeared before 

 you in the capacity in which we appear today. The society per- 

 haps was not aware that we were in existence. The fact that we 

 gave you a program last year and have been invited to do so again 

 this year is sufficient cause to feel that we are welcome before this 

 society. Now without further comment we will proceed with our 

 program.
