Dear Madam, The F.xecutive Committee* of the* British Dominions Woman Suffrage I nion has just issued a call aeidre*ssed to the leaders of all Women’s Societies in the Dominions Overseas whic h stand for political and soc ial re*form, earnestly requesting them to arrange for the representation of their societies at the Third Biennial Conference, to be held in London in June, ie> 18. 1 shall esteem it a great kindness if you will inse rt a brief notice in your paper to the effect that this Conference is to be held, and that further information may be had from me at the address given above. Ihe Second Conference (1916) aroused great inten*st, and received warm supjiort in Britain, as well as Overseas. A leading Overseas paper, commenting on the* significance of the gathering, characterised the veibatim report of the* proceedings as h'ghly interesting and valuable. The representation e>f e*ve*ry shade of op nion is earnestly desired by the* promoters of the Conference. The reforms to hr dismssed will be mainly those which immediately concern women and the future of the race. The recent rapid extension of the franchise to women in Canada will greatly increase the practical value of the gathering. Thanking vou in advance for your kind h«*lp.—Yours faithfully, HARRIET C. NEWCOMB, Mon. Secretary.
