Show WOMAN'S EXPONENT 6G I had the pleasure of attending a woman's suffrage meeting yesterday, called by. the "Danish Society, at which were present delegaets - . from Sweden, Norway, and Finland. hfc rrrf speaking was in their languages except that I said a few words in English, and was interpreted, though nearly half the persons in the room raised their hands as able to under- stand English. Mrs. Selmer, who accompanied me, translated a few things, but as I understoood so little of what was said, I should like few very brief notes ef what I observed in ' ' . other ways First I was struck with the number of ladies who wore short hair.

All the others talked in the most easy and natural way, with smiles and gestures intermingled, and one laughed with her audience. Only one was at all slow or hesitating in her speech. Objectors were asked to speak, and two or three gentlemen "improved the opportunity," but from the laughter that followed the brief reply ol sorae lady, I fancy they gained little from their endeavor. heard two points criticised by ladies-wh- o believe in suffrage, but who do not act with this society. The first is that too many of the society go out of their way to talk against Christianity. To say nothing of the beliefs of either clas3, I think it bad policy in suffragists to attack religious beliefs. - It- - is certain that suffrage cannot be carried without the help of Christian- men and - women, and it is also true that many will not join a movement which seems to them, because of utterances of some of the leaders, . I-h- . -- - T that I am right. Another hindrance is ttat several of the suffrag'sts are said to assume mannish not manly ways. I saw nothing of this, but to sit in a meeting with an arm on the back of a chair andjthe hand thrust in the hair, and one leg thrown over the other, casts a needless -- slur 'Upon a grand: and fundamental ment.
