Other points in her address were: 5 necessary for the wife, particularly in the carly days of marriage,

"It is most important that girls should be trained to be good wives! not only in matters of housekeeping but in other ways. In oarlier genera- tions girls married knowing nothing of sex matters. Their mothers, al- though they had had many children, often told them nothing."
