plause. She was dressed in the
peculiar costume to which her name is given. Her speech, which
occupied more than an hour in its delivery, was an able
exposition of the reasons why women should be amongst the

occasions. There was something of freshness in them; and if they
did not advance new truth, we, at least, heard truth from a new
point of view. He had often heard of the fascinating influence of
woman, and he was glad if she had such that it should be put
forth for temperance. He was happy to hear her explain the wants
of the poor mother, or sister, or wife of the unfortunate
