It had been known to most of us In
the inner councils of the W. C T. U
that the failing health of Teabella. ldy
Somerset, who has been si ace Miss W'il
Hard's death the world's president, had
decided her that she could not accept
this position, carrying .with It ' such
heavy responsibility. It wai the
desire of the foreign delegates that
the United States president be
elected to this position. . Mrs.
Stevens having declined this honor on
account of the onerous work of the na
tional presidency, the Countess of Car
lisle, a woman of rare talent and sweet
Christian graces, . waa unanimously
elected and belog Informed -by cable'
gram accepted the honor and labor.
A token of love and appreciation was
presented to Lady Henry Somerset In
the shape of a sweet-toned bell,- to be
hung In the chapel at her London home
of Woodford. : It had been hung and
arangements were made to have It rung
for the first time at the opening hour
of this convention. A cablegram of
thanks from Lady Somerset was re
ceived at 'the -opening aesston In recog
nition o"f the love expressed In the gift,
the Oregon women war1 represented la I
this gift. Among the many delightful
experiences to the older women who
realise the need of Interesting young
women In our work waa the girlish sim
plicity of Lady Dorothy ' Howard and
her marvellous power as a publlo
speaker aa manifested in the various
times, as her mother's representative,
she spoke to the greet meetings. ,
Convention Crowded.
This convention, as well as the na
tional that followed at Hartford, was
crowded at every session with only a
day of rest between. The American
women, together with many of their
foreign guests, left the classic shades of
Boston to hold the thirty-third annual
meeting of the N. W. C. T. M. In the
Nutmeg - state. Notwlthut during he

women, there are no promised benefits
to accrue to Its members Save In the

membership. This Convention was not
an exception and the treasurer reported
a gain In paid up membership since
Los Angeles. 1905. of 11,000. This
means more than many times that num
ber of accessions to a society that gives
more and exneta less, or to a society
that appeals to less Intellectual women.
It Is an Interesting coincidence, that
there waa precisely the same number
of members at this convention as in
the Los Angeles ronventlof of 1 90S,
of which the western members were
so proud as It was the Isrgest conven
tion up to that time. Now. as the editor
of our offlcal organ humorously re
marks, "The largest convention ever
held up to date Is twins." It was "esti
mated that there were ?,000 women
present In Paraoni theatre (the conven
tion hall) when the president's gavel
fll on theflrst session. "All Hall the
Power of jf-sus Name," was sung, the
Crusade Psalm read aa usual at open

sung and Mrs. J. K. Barney, pf Rhode
Island, one of our most successful mis
sionaries voiced the prayer and praise
of the white ribbon host. Mrs. Qraham.

"glory song." and the thirty-third an

most Interested are. those held in th

addresses, Oeorgla waa the most not
