1) The Church Congress: "At the Church Congress held at Norwich, [...] some excellent papers were read in the Women's Section [...]." The "most suggestive" paper, by Mrs. Arthur Lyttleton, on the purposes of reading, is reproduced. Papers by Mrs. Chaloner Chute on amusements and on "Women's Work" by Miss Yeatman are quoted from as well. 2) Hospital for Women in Bristol: At the opening of the hospital, Miss Cocks makes remarks in moving a vote of thanks. 3) Women in Prison Work: Report on the Paris Prison Congress, at which a "splendid paper on Women in Prison was contributed by Madame Abbadie d'Arast, in which she strongly protested against the corrputing association of women in prisons." Includes a short direct quote. "The Countess Opezzi urged the necessity of the protection of young girls," and Baroness Rengers is mentioned as another speaker. 4) The Women's Industrial Council: Correction of an anecdote included in the Council's annual report, which misquotes Mrs. Sidney Webb, in turn quoting Millicent Fawcett relaying a lady's comment on Mr. Asquith being a "poor man" for "attempting to deal with women's questions." It is noted that Fawcett had told the anecdote differently and that the lady's remark was differently worded and directed at Mr. Matthews. 5) Dispensary Work for Women: Summary of a paper on "Dispensing as an Occupation for Women" given by Miss Bradbury at one of Miss Younghusband's monthly "At Homes."
