It was in the autumn of 1888 and Mrs. Elizabeth Lyle Saxon lecturing on "Social Purity" and the editor of the Woman's Tribune telling the wonderful story of that first great coming together of women of different organizations and countries, had been warmly received by the women of Utah and one of the courtesies shown us was a reception in the Amelia Palace- One of the ladies present took an autograph album and secured the signatures of the distinguished women present, wives and daughters of the presidents and apostles of the church and many of them holding office in the church societies and scarcely second in public esteem and in authority to the male hierarchy.

Has no states and five terrione of our forty-fiv- e a day in honor of established ever tories of its one great women or of some one of the great women of the world? If this be the case, what do you think of establishing a day for the whole United States to be known as "Woman's Day," on which schools, associations, and such societies as may wish, shall celebrate womanhood in general, or any great or good woman they may decide to honor? Is it not as appropriate to have a "Woman's Day" as a "Labor Day?" If this suggestion meets with approval I should suggest for this purpose the 25th of March, Annunciation Day. In England it is called "Lady Day," and is an important epoch, rents being always paid on that day. Surely no day could be better suited to this purpose than that on which the curse of Eve became the blessing of Mary and countless generations. Mary's song has always seemed to be the voice of all womankind rejoicing in the removal of its ban, "Thenceforth all generations have called us blessed." Julia Woman's Journal. S. Tutwiler.
