has done good work in establishing and en-
couraging such Institutions.
"Typewriters, dressmakers. girls in stores.
who are alone in the city and 60 home to
cherries boarding-hcuses. have much more
need of club life than have society women.
"These girls are united by the common
bond OF earning their own living, and the
club relieves them from the dull monotony
of business. which tends to convert them
into mere money-making machines. at the
club they learn something of social life,
they have the luxury Of music, which they
cannot afford to pay for. they are given re-
ceptions and socials that they would never
otherwise enjoy. Club life to them Is not a
fad, but necessity"

'.tbere are some women who have a call to
evangehze the world. Clubs may be neces-
sary TO the fulfllment OF their mission. for
domestic life dees not appear to be their
sphere :. -:
II have seen sad instances of women
whose own homes were broken up while
they were looking after the morals of hu-
manity. For myself i believe that the
woman who attends to the welfare OF her
own home. who brings up even one child,
can show a better life's work than those
women who have expended the ir energy
upon outside Tar Flat excitement.
"The very women who are bsst fitted to
shine In club life. who could give a social
grace and charm to the institution, are the
women who can and do shine at home.
II consider that the average woman has
no necessity TO resort to club for pleasant
social surroundings. She has them al no ne
or among her friends.
IF she wants more contact with her fel-
lows. there are always many fields of activ-
lily for church or for charity. The woman
who is an unbelever and will not engage in
work of this kind is not pleasant woman
to meet at a club.
Il do not think that IL would be sue
cess for men and women to meet at the

rise to unkind questioning. In joining the
