TRENTON, March 81, 1S91.-The an
nouncement that United States Senator
Mcpherson is going TO Florida for his

ments, and that his digestive organs are

He was recently Frustrated by a severe

WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Are They a Benefit TO Them2-What
an Advocate of Them Says.

1t is not plain that the Woman's
Club is a direct evolution from the
home, and little more than a broader
home life suited to our modern
thought? The almost instant response
of womanhood to the club idea so
o as il was understood proves that
the time was ripe, that it could not be
delayed. To many, indeed, II seems
that it was an imperative demand OF
the age, for in the process OF advanc-
ing from the time when the husband
and wife were one-and that one the
husbandr-to the time coming, when
husband and wife shall be a united
two, and more than doubly strong
thereby, there have been troublous
times, and the worlds affairs have
gone haltingly, because half was IN
developed and crippled, unable to
take its place and do its own work; 1t
was like q man with n side para
lived. Before our civilization can
progress further, woman must be
lifted to stand beside her mate and do
her share.
Her part will ever be the womanly,
both by nature and by choice, her
work Will ever be done in the womanly
way. She is not and will not be a
rival or antagonist of her brother in
the worlds work. The period of an
tagonism is transitionary-the stirring
of the waters before they settle.
She will find her happiness in this
way also. There was a certain charm
in the chivalry of a past age. Many
look back and sigh for the good old
days when a on was cherished
and worshipped. But there was an
other side not so pleasant. She was
worshipped. but she was also en-
shaved. She was cherished. but she
was held in bonds of steel. Men yield
ed their pleasant places to her, opened
doors for her, abased themselves before
her, but they also ruled her with a rod
more or less severe, according to their
disposition.
What the club will bring to pass in
our lives is not SO easy to predict.
One thing, however. is certain. IL,
as many students and thinkers are
convinced, cooperation is the hope
of our time, the establishment of the
Woman's Club is the longest stride
and the most significant movement of
the age toward that goal. In the
way of cooperation, as applied to
housekeeping, stands like a rock the
woInan's love of individuality in every
department of her home. The club is
fast undermining that feeling, with
many others that belong to the past.

IT cannot be said that NJ police are
very greatly to blame for last nights
burglary at Walters jeweIry store.
The arrangement OF the place seems
to have been specially designed to
help the enterprising burglar in his
arduous work. But there have been
too many serious thefts in this city in
the last few months and it is time the
police taught New York marauders a

The New Surfing Ronnet.

1t is to be admitted that there is
something of the same quick delight
to the soul of the young woman in the
possession OF a new spring bonnet
that is to be felt by all, both young
and old, over the newly springing GRO
u and datfodil, or the
blossom OF the almond-trees,
AIBl's gift to April bses,"
or that comes TO one from the perfect
representation OF spring beauty with
paint and pencil.
1t is, in the first place, an object OF
beauty, with its delicate fabrics. its
delicate tints, its airy lightness, its
fresh lustrous ribbons, its plumes or
it's posies, its general effect of being
only a larger sort OF blossom itself.
In the next place, it is the result OF
a high state of manufacture. Not
only has talent, skill, and aptitude OF
finger gone to the combination and
harmony of shape and color there, but
new looms have been set up, and new
methods have been thought out and
employed, that these silken ribbons,
these Lutte strings and gauZes, might
be woven, and new inventions have
exercised searching brains for the
making of these frames, for the setting
of these dyes.
This little bonnet, again, is an OBJ
ject of taste in the creation of its
ornament; something like genius
went to the designing of this lace,
perhaps; a wonderful degree of talent
to the copying of the flowers from
natures flowers, and to the further
copying of that original copy. Science
lent its aid. too, in the matter of the
dyes; old secrets that belonged once
only to the alchemists gave the first
hint, it may be, of their existence,
and the laboratory has brought them
out at the hands of men learned in
strange formulas. What adventure.
too, went toward its completion-the
ends OF the earth ransacked for the
pigments that produced certain of the
more exquisite tints, and others
brought from the dark recesses where
the primeval sunlight of submerged
forests is still sealed in the coal strata
A marvellous insight, a fairy-like deft
ness has blended the separate parts
from primitive frame to the browning
triumph of these ostrich tips, which
first waved in some wild race acros,
African ATTITUDES.
1t will be seen that our pretty trife
OF lace and straw is not by any mean,
to be spoken of contemptuously; thai
it is no slight affair of vanities, or
which money and thought are bur
wasted; but that into its construction
have gone many of the elements o
art and science and romance, and thai
all it needs TO complete its charm is
pretty face inside IT, with that smil'
Of contentment upon it that is all bu'
inseparable, at least for a few days
from the face of the possessor of tbs
