Applause was going on irregularly soon dropped. Only, from the group in the gallery it was whole-hearted and consistent. Mrs. Dankshire, who had been growing red and redder as the paper advanced, who had conferred in alarmed whispers with Mrs.
Dankshire, shaking hands with her warmly. "We have at heard so much of your beautiful work here, and we admire your attitude! Now would you be willing to give a paper or a talk to our club, the Home and Culture Club, some Wednesday, on The True Nature of Domestic Industry?" Mrs. Ree took Miss Bell's hand with something of the air of a Boston maiden accosting a saint from Hindoostan.
Let me see a paper on we might say 'On the True Nature of Domestic Industry. How does that strike you, Mrs. Ree?" "Admirable!" said Mrs. Ree. "So strong! so succinct." "That certainly covers the subject," said Mrs. Porne. "Why don't you ask her?" "We will. We have come for that purpose. But we felt it right to ask you about it first," said Mrs. Dankshire.
"Madam President!" broke forth Miss Eagerson. "I was up first and have been standing ever since " "One moment, Miss Eagerson," said Mrs. Dankshire superbly, "The Rev. Dr. Eltwood." If Mrs. Dankshire supposed she was still further supporting the cause of condemnation she made a painful mistake.
Dankshire, whose parents were Iowa farmers, was not unmindful of this, but she went on smoothly, "and whose first employment was the honored task of the teacher; who has deliberately cast her lot with the domestic worker, and brought her trained intelligence to bear upon the solution of this great question The True Nature of Domestic Service.
"Just the same if not better. I don't even order the meals now, unless I want something especial. She keeps a calendar of what we've had to eat, and what belongs to the time of year, prices and things. "But I should think that would interfere with your sense of freedom," said Mrs. Ellen A Dankshire, "A woman should be mistress of her own household." "Why I am!
"So much is involved!" said little Mrs. Ree, the Corresponding Secretary, lifting her pale earnest face with the perplexed fine lines in it. "We are all so truly convinced of the sacredness of the home duties!" "Well, what do you want me to do?" asked their hostess. "We must have that remarkable young woman address our club!" Mrs. Dankshire announced.
Dankshire, "or shall we go out to the kitchen?" "Come right out; I'd like you to see how beautifully she keeps everything." The kitchen was as clean as the parlor; and as prettily arranged. Miss Bell was making her preparation for lunch, and stopped to receive the visitors with a serenely civil air as of a country store-keeper. "I am very glad to meet you, Miss Bell, very glad indeed," said Mrs.
Now here is a young woman of brains and culture who has apparently grappled with the question; her example and influence must not be lost! We must hear from her. The public must know of this." "Such an ennobling example!" murmured Mrs. Ree. "It might lead numbers of other school-teachers to see the higher side of the home duties!" "Furthermore," pursued Mrs. Dankshire, "this has occured to me.
"If you only would!" she said. "I am sure it would shed light on this great subject!" Miss Bell smiled at them both and looked at Mrs. Porne inquiringly. "I should be delighted to have you do it," said her employer. "I know it would be very useful." "Is there any date set?" asked Miss Bell. "Any Wednesday after February," said Mrs. Dankshire. "Well I will come on the first Wednesday in April.
