Russell was thereupon unanimously elected president, after which the girls successively declined the oice of secretary. In this emergency Russell wasdeposed from the presidency and chown secretary. While he was trying to es cape from that responsible post it was discovered that the society had no motto` Five erent languages were instantly pro- posed as the proper vehicle for. the society s watchword, but it was discovered that no- body had sulcient command of any of them to be sure of the accuracy of a quotation. From this point discussion drifted naturally to the study of the languages, and the com- parative usefulness of French and German was warmly debated.

But the subject of critics was dropped for the moment, while the society went into executive session and wrestled with the question of names, and usesfor the committees. Russell was chair- man and the girls either talked to him all at once or didn t talk to him at all. When he detected anything like a. motion, he request- ed a. vote wh ch was generally a. unanimous e airmative because, by the time he could call for the nays, the girls had begun to talk about "something else and didn t hear what he said.

D(luI.\.la It was decided to give a reception to the friends of the society, and a committee to decide what sort of a reception it should be was appointed by the chair, assisted by all the members simultaneously. In fact that was so much assistance that after the com- mittee had been appointed nobody could re- member who was on it. But by this time the \ course of debate had changed, and this very ` diicult question had arisen: How shall we let the people who come to the re- ception nd out how much we have learned that they don t know? Various solutions of this problem were offered but they were all open to the objection of suggesting school days and graduat- ing exercises. Russell thought that it would be a good idea to have each mem- ber- of the society register a vow not to talk upon a frivolous subject with any young man at the reception-in his case, the resolution would read young woman, - of course. Each member should keep a record of the number of topics of conversation introduced by her and hitherto unheard of by the other party to the conversation. Every such topic 7 should cotfnt one, and the member having the highest score at the end of- the evening should be entitled to a prize which should be awarded in the presence of the society s ._- `.4-..
