The program of the session: The meetings of the "Committee of Correspondence" followed one upon another according to the agenda: in the morning the discussion circles and lectures were held, each delegate speaking at length about her country and answering the questions put to her; in the afternoon public and private visits were arranged, and receptions large and small in the clubs and in the homes — a perpetual motion which the delegates kept up throughout the twenty-five days. Whenever one of them felt exhausted, and was tempted to fall behind the caravan, she was turned back from her intent by the high mettle of the American members; for despite the advanced age of most of them, and despite their carrying weighty responsibilities in their homes and in their work, they showed an astonishing energy which their Eastern companions envied them. The Eastern ladies marveled especially at the American woman's ability to divide her activity between her work and her home — and not at the expense of running the house and raising the children, as most often happens — and in this the Arab woman bowed her head to the American and conceded her precedence.
