Phillips, sent by friends
in Minnesota. At the left are the _Woman's Journal_ exhibit,
press headquarters and a display of exquisite blankets made at
the Lamoille mills and contributed to the Vermont exhibit by the
manufacturer, Mrs. M. G. Minot.

All down the hall on both sides and across the middle hang the
many banners of the Massachusetts local leagues, of all sizes and
colors and with every variety of motto and device. At the extreme
end hangs the white banner of the State Association.

This handsome banner, bearing the motto, "Male and female created He
them, and gave _them_ dominion," was presented to the association by
Miss Cora Scott Pond and the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, to whose energetic
work the success of the bazar was largely due.

Mrs. Livermore, the president of the bazar, made the opening address

once if he did not despair of Harvard College. He replied: "No, I
never _quite_ despair of anything." Therefore, following his good
example, I never quite despair of Boston. We want our flag to be
full of such stars as those I have mentioned.

Mrs. Lucy Stone closed a brief address by saying: "To-morrow will be
