Mrs. J. Dunlap, Newark, N.J.
Miss Mary Dunlap, Newark, N.J.

Of this number thirteen were present at the twentieth convention, held
at Syracuse in 1893; among them being the first chairman, Mrs. Butler;
the first secretary, Mrs. N. B. Foot; and Mrs. Esther McNeil, our
venerable crusader, of Fredonia.

The keynote for the future was struck at the first convention, as will
be seen in the report of the committee appointed to recommend topics for
discussion. These represented the foundation principles of the
organization, and were as follows:


TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION.

How should holly-tree inns or coffee-rooms be managed? What is their
history?

Is it a part of woman's work in the temperance cause to attend to the
enforcing of the license laws?

How can we arouse the young women to _think_ as they never have upon
this subject, and to realize that there is a practical obligation
resting upon them?
