College magazines do more TO bring an insti'

rooms when they are in Chicago fora few
days. Visitors are preferred on Monday

Every city where girls are employed in

needs one or more Of these clubs with

WORKING GIRLS CLuBs.-LET THIS WORK
EXTEND.
From The Farmers' Voice.

From The Farmers Voice
Six years ago ten girls met together In
tenement house In New York City and
with the hearty cooperation Of Mise
Grace II, Dodge they organized the first
working girls club To-day those clubs
are scattered all over this vast country.
New York has tWenty-four with mera-
bership Of 1900, Boston Ten with 1900
members, Philadelphia twelve with
membership Of 1000 and Baltimore four
teen with 1900 members. Chicago and
other western cities claim their share OF
clubs. A convention Of these various
clubs was held In New York City last
April and ably presided over by Miss
Grace Dodge, whose heart and soul Is In
this noble work. To say IL was success,
but feebly expressed IL. The convention
was attended alike by the wealthy and
influential, the laboring classes and the
poor The society woman and her poorer
sisters sat side by side In that vast assem-
bly,.
What Is the object Of the working girls
clubH am asked. In the words Of Miss
Dodge II is First, to furnish pleasant
rooms, where its members can pass the
evening. Second, TO organize such classes
for mutual improvement az the members
may desire Third, TO collect a clrculat.
ing library for the use Of members.
Fourth, to develope cooperative measures
which shall be for the benefit Of the
members."
Practical talks, lectures, entertain
ments and classes in their turn, make
these clubs helpful and beneficial TO one
and all Of the members and inspire them
10 nobler and higher aspirations and
loftler Ideas. The printed programme
for the convention held last April fully |
answers the question: "What Is a work
Ing girls club2" "a working girls so
clety is an organization among busy
women and girls TO secure by Co'opera-
tlon, means Of self Improvement oppor-
tunitles for social intercourse and q dc.
velopment of higher, nobler aims" The
Chicago Inter Ocean says: ITO be sud
denly convinced that clubs may be orga-
nlzed for a higher purpose than opening |
wine, smoking cigars, or retailing jokes
over the card table, was a shock TO the
ComplaCeny with which the lord Of crea
tiOn has been wont to declare that
women know nothing about clubs, In
ten years women's clubs have done more
for the actual good Of society than all the
mems clubs of the past fifty years have
DONE" What the social and literary clubs
have done for women they will do for the
working girls. Far more dothese lonely,
homeless and oftentlmes friendless girls
need the benefit Of these clubs than do
many Of the women already organized.
Miss Howes of Boston, says "The work
ing girl Of todSy does not want pity or
charity, but to be believed in." She
wants 90 be treated an equal and not
looked down upon as a slave; she wants
friends and a home where she can re
Ceive her friends; she needs good books
TO read and noble women who are inter
estsd In her and willing to extend the
right hand Of fellowship TO her, who will
help her TO climb the ladder instead Of
puRhing her down.
