Wednesday Evening.

The National Council of Women met in the Provincial Council Chambers at 8 p.m. The following ladies answered to the roll : Lady Stout, Miss Sherriff Bain, Meedames Schnackenberg, Hatton, Isherwood, Dalby, Williamson, Izett, Alley, Sievwright, Fleming, and Wells. The minutes of the morning session were read and confirmed.

Mrs Schnackenberg notified the following motion for subsequent consideration: " That this National Council of Women affirms its strong conviction that every political question should be decided by the majority of voters that go to the poll. That any deviation from this rule, as in the present Licensing Act, is subversive of a great political principle, and a recognition of a supposed right of government by a minority."

Miss A. E. Hookham then read a paper on " Constructive Socialism." At the conclusion of the paper, Mrs Sievwright gave an address on " The New Woman " illustrated by lantern pictures of famous women of our times. Mrs Sievwright was accorded a hearty vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation.
