SUGGESTIONS for U1m ems Clubs.

We have many reasons, in tha direct testlmo-
mails that have come to US, for believing that
an article which we published in this depart
ment year or two since. on Winter Amuse-
ments, was remarkably suggestive and stimulat-
ing IN the establishment OF clubs for cniture
aud recreation. We spoke specially OF reading
clubs. " Shakspere clubs" etc. The project
wac entered upon in a great many towns
throughout the length and breadth OF the land.
and great good has come OF It.. TO open still,
wider field Of intellectual recreation and IN
struction is the object of this article.

there was established last year a Rome Club.
A considerable number Of intelligent ladies
moved thereto by the existence Of O literary
club among their husbands and brothers. gath

selves for the study of historical cities. Rome
was chosen as the first city TO be Investigated

in various departments, it's relations to The
world at various epochs, ETC., etc. Subdivis-
ions Of the larger topics we're made, and each
womnn was given branch to study, with the
duty to write out her conclusions and results,
/
and to read them at the weekly IN eetings of the
club. Il is declared to us by one who watched
the developments OF the enterprise that, as
the result of that winters most interesting
work, this town contains the largest number Of
women who know everything about Rome that
any town in the United States can boast.
Every available library was ransacked for ma

city. Whether IT will be London. or Paris, OF
Jerusalem. or Athens, or Venice, we do not
know and il does not matter. But what a
mine of interest and instruction hes before
them in any of these How very small do the
ordinary amusements OF town look by tue

What cure for gossip and neighborhood
