The country women of the world “are on the move,” said Mrs. Alfred Watt in Wellington, and there was a new spirit among them. They attended conferences in their thousands, and were asking that they might givo their contribution to tho common cause. “Thought awakened does not slumber,” Carlyle had said, and that was most true of the women. Countrywomen had more time to think, said Mrs. Watt. They could oven dream of tho great things of tho world, form ideals, and work out ideas. Lack of thought was a terrible thing, the worst tiling in tho world. The Associated Country Women of tho World was thinking in all its great extent, and daily becoming more vocal. The women stood for high standards of life, high ideals of conduct, and religion in the homes.
