At a similar meeting in San Francisco six hundred women were present in Platt's Hall.

We discussed marriage, maternity, and social life in general.

Supposing none but women were present, as all were dressed in feminine costume, the audience were quite free in their questions, and I equally so in my answers.

To our astonishment, the next morning, a verbatim report of all that was said appeared in one of the leading papers, with most respectful comments.

As I always wrote and read carefully what I had to say on such delicate subjects, the language was well chosen and the presentation of facts and philosophy quite unobjectionable; hence, the information being as important for men as for women, I did not regret the publication.
