Rickard, Centre- st., Friday aftern on when over fifty ladies ladies enjoyed the very instructive and practical practical address given by Miss M. E. Bruce, Superintendent of Bowmanville Hospital, on "The Womenof Yesterday,To-day and To-morrow." The speaker reviewed the lives of some of the prominent women of early history and showed their influence on national life She dealt particularly with the women of Canada today, showed how their influence for future good was being weakened by lack of a knowledge of their anatomy, by lack of proper exercise, fresh air and proper food, by reading trashy, senseless literature, and shunning motherhood. The latter function she regarded regarded as a sacred trust given to every woman and it is her duty to so regard it by proper wearing apparel on the feet and other parts of the body, the French heel being especially condemned. The a 1- dress was "one of the most sensible for women that has been heard by this branch for some years and the wish that every girl and young married woman in the town might have heard it was expressed. The members and others present very greatly appreciate Miss Bruce's kindness in favoring them and accorded her a hearty vote of thanks. Miss Belle Courtice Courtice played a piano solo after which refreshments refreshments were served by Mrs. Rickard and daughters and a pleasant hour was participated in socially by all.
