_Florence._ There, mother, the storm's over; so let's hear no more of "woman's rights." _Rhoda._ And I can't be a butcher! _Pollie._ Nor I an auc-sh-sh-shuneer. It's too bad! _Mrs. D._ So there has been masquerading here. _Florence._ For which I alone am to blame. Mother, we are wild girls, and good subjects for missionary work. Set the Female Reform Club a good example by commencing its work in your own neighborhood, and reform us. _Mrs. D._ There is certainly a large field of labor here for me; and I shall set about the work at once. But what will the officers of the club say? _Mrs. H._ (Kee.) That you've backslid, Hannah Merria. _Florence._ If they are honest and earnest, they will say that she who to the welfare of her family first gives her heart, is a stanch friend to progress. In that realm she is queen, and they who bend beneath her loving sway, freely acknowledge her, in that grand sphere, the Champion of her Sex. _Situations._ CAROLINE. FLORENCE. RHODA. MRS. D. POLLIE.
