Whether he was happy or mis erable no one knows, but he survived sufficiently to make a good talk when called on near the last. ' The question naturally , arises, "where is the woman who can hold such varying elements together and steer them successfully onward?" The club has such a president in the norsin'- of Miss Em Austin, who has nififler srood herself in the business world and has brought out the good .. - . i:i others.
