The ques tlon of a - church affiliation as a basis of membership in the Young Women's ' Christian association considered the most Important problem before that organization, was taken up at the eighth annual convention today and resulted in a long -debate -between conservative and radical factions.

She spoke on "Love and Marriage." Particular care was taken that the hundreds of high school and college girls who thronged the tab ernacle were advantageously seat ed. Mrs. Demarest was that an xious they hear her message. As she said,? "No sermon takes so much out of me as these three lectures." Before opening the meeting, Mrs. Demarest. with ; a pretty nod of her bead, said as she presented little Victoria Beatrice rnd little Arthur Sidney. "The wo men begged me to show the child ren." She said just a word about the first little baby who died; men tioned the two boys. "I'll tell you about them next time," she prom ised, "next. Thursday." The woman was Mrs. Demarest's message. ! She brought out many points concerning the eagerness of any girl in the world to be at tractive, j "But the greatest of all womanly charm,"- she said, "is womanliness." It is a girl's gift. It is her responsibility, and as a responsibility the obligation is four-fold; that which she owes to God, that which she owes to the man she loves, that which Bhe owes to her children, and, finally, that which she owes her" self. She emphasized over and over again that woman's sphere is a distinc tive one. i She was never meant to be as men. "It has been said that man is the head,? she told her audience, then added, with a whimsical smile, "But woman Is the neck that turns the head!" Among many other things, Mrs. Demarest made the interesting ob servation ! that the , nations which have been great are ' the nations which have held their womanhood In highest esteem. The explana tion Is simple. For with a rever ence for womanhood comes a rev erence for other things Just as pure and: just as sacred. "It isn't the cold-blooded phlegmatic stick of a girl who is going to ac complish things," she reminded all who heard her, "but the high strung. sensitive, Impetuous, Im pulsive, wide awake girl." But her strength will lie in the calm direction she gives her personality. A twenty-minute discussion of love and the three counterfeits of love, closed the lecture. - Next Thursday," May 8, Mrs. Demarest will give the third talk in the series. Her topic will be, "Marriage, Motherhood and the Training of Children." JiOMK lll'ltXKD EL PASO, Texas, May 2. The home of Benlgno Herandez, col lector of Internal revenue at Albu querque, N.
