Show A FATHERS' CONGRESS. Mrs. Llllie Deverenux Blake want'3 o know If there cannot ho a Fathers' Congress called, which will work on Mic samo linos as the Mothers' Confess Con-fess that holds its annual sessions. Why, of course. Truth suggested this 'our years ago. Truth advocated tho '.ailing of a Fathers' congress In this city. Tho Idea originated with D. It. Grey, who suggested that Ily Dunn road a paper on "Tho Childless Father" and that somo person of equal ability discuss tho futuro of "Tho Fatherless Child." Other eminent gen- ,1' fi tlenien were down for papers of like M character, and the affair would havo t jfi been a groat success had not tho fish- j m ing season opened just about thit I'M time, which caused such a rush of HH fathers to the hills that thcro worn not enough left, to call a congress. A Ifl Fathers' Congress would bo a good Hjl thing, and if over ono is held wo will M bet. that no old bachelor presides or 9 that any old stags who havo been I roaming the hills of life for fifty yoara H will bo permitted to arlso and dictate :M to tho assembled sires as to what ' motliods shall bo employed In rearing 9, their children. 1 |
