a "Kentucky Woman Suffrage Society." A
constitution was adopted, which was subscribed to by every person
present, with a dollar membership. Miss Mary B. Clay was chosen
president, and the society made auxiliary to the American Woman
Suffrage Association. The formation of this strong and live
society is of great value, as the organized beginning of the
movement at the South.

The citizens and public institutions of Louisville extended
unsolicited courtesy to the members of the association, who were
officially invited to the Home for the Widows and Orphans of
Masons, the only home of the kind in the United States; to the
House of Refuge; to the Hospital for Women and Children; and to
the High School. Not the least pleasant thing was an interview
with Henry Watterson, the morning after the close of the
meetings. His friendly attitude, his comprehensive view of the
whole situation and question, with his position of large
influence as editor of the _Courier-Journal_, made even those who
have grown old in the service of this cause hopeful of living to
see it victorious. Another mile stone is passed, and the end of
this long bloodless strife comes daily nearer. Let us thank God
and take courage.
