Tho women's meetings, connected with the Church Congress at Yarmouth were an important feature of the work of the congress. An address givon by Mrs. Cecil Hook showed ill •how many ways tho home is becoming .'ess and less'the chief centre in women's lives. There was a clangor of losing in this country the ideal'home. A girl was once asked. ;"Where is your home:'"' and slid said, "Do you mean the place where the servants live?" Girls nowadays ' seldom givo' up their own pleasure to make the evening-,- happy and pleasant for thoir father when'he comoshomo from his day's Work. Sho knew'of a family whore all the daughters wonderfully musical; and.when'one evening they had been singing. and playing to her,' their father'said how much, he had enjoyed himself. ."Tho girls," ho remarked, "never- sing and play when wo are alone. They belong, to'all-sorts of societies, and hardly ever spend an evoning at home." '~■..-. .-.■
