is responsible for everything, from Adam's eating of the apple in
Paradise to the financial confusion which agitates us to-day; the
first because she coveted so much knowledge, the second because
she wants so many clothes. I wish we could, as speedily as
possible without a general crash, lay aside this nonsense

arrangements for entertainment and hospitality. She was aided in
this by Mrs. E. A. Latta, who has come later to the work, but who

and out of it she remembers the rights of women; Mrs. Morse, of
Walnut Hills, and other ladies co-operated, so that as delegates
arrived they were assigned to pleasant homes. At the appointed
hour on
