The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-03-20

is entitled to
great credit. This organization has developed
excellently. Last summer II was held up, kept
together and engineered principally by Mr.. Fred
X. Strive and Mr.. John Gibbon, jr.
The enthusiasm was not remarkable, but
these young men by their personal popu-
larity drew to them enough support
10 make the hops succeed. The germans OF the
winter season have, however, proved SO COM
pletely successful that the club will find no
trouble in the future in maintaining perma-
nent organization. The past week was bright
ened up by a fine concert of the Evening Musical
Club, the silver wedding OF Mr.. and Mrs. Cow
den, the concert OF Professor Bachman's iuve-
nile orchestra and the miniature Worlds fair
and electrical exhibit given at Plymouth Con-
gregational church. To those who have lost faith
in Seattle and her future destiny, one need
point only to the city social and educational
development Go where you will, the investi-
gator will be confronted by the social currents,
movement and aspirations of a live and pro-
gressive community The remarkable feature
of all this activity and hustle is that it is not
Epasmodic, but permanent Take a case in
point Those who are acquainted with women
theoretically, and not practically, areready and
willing at all times to assert the claim that she
goes into social movements with great vim and
energy, but her enthusiasm quickly dies out
and that the institutions under her guidance pos
SEES only feetinig influence and are short-lived.
In Seattle there are easily half dozen institu-
tions that refute this charge There is the Gen.
fury Club, the Ladies' Musical Club. the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union, the Ladies
Relief Society, the Renaissance Club and host
OF similar organizations all essentially social in
their nature. These bodies have been uni
formly successful in their operation aud are by
no means all of the Institutions in the city con-
trolled and managed by representatives of the
fairer and gentler sex. 1t is matter of pride,
too TO note that several of the most valued mem.
bers Of the city library association are ladies.

tionai church Friday evening was one of the
