Especial rrIHGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
CHAurAUoUA, Aug. a-The Girls Club
discussed business this morning. Miss Kate
Kimball, the Chautauqua SECRETARY, first
addressed them and gave some valuable
hints She said woman's mode of shop
ping is to 20 to store, rush madly from
one end of the city to another, then return
to within half block of the first, rush back
again, and 50 on until she has worn out her
self and her patience. Then she goes home
and reads an article on "Is Life Worth
Living" The speaker told . story of q
woman who was given q banquet by the
cashier of q bank, and when she asked why
he told her she was the first woman who had
endorsed check on the right end at that
bank.
Miss Mary Mather, who has charge of the
club, also addressed the young ladies. She
advised every woman to keep an account
book and the first bills paid should be to
the laundress and dressmaker. The subject
for the day was the Inevitable Cents" In
plain English it means the amount woman
usually needs to make her accounts bal
ance.>
The Woman Has a Right to Crow.
Rev. Anna Shaw had her laugh at the
voters in Chautauqua to-day. She is inter-
ested in learning why the women cannot
vote in this enlightened country. In her
address she asked numerous questions and
Immediately answered them to her own sat
isfaction and to the amusement of her audi
ence She reviewed the history of the cru
tade for woman suffrage. Speaking of the
''whistling girl and Growing hen, she said:
eff q hen wants to crow and knows how,
that's her privilege. She's the one that
has the right to crow. All the rooster does
is to stand around and crow over the benefit
the hen has conferred on humanity.
''Some men do not believe that any part of
the Bible was inspired except that passage
which tells wives to obey husbands. If the
wives had Just as good husbands as ST.
Paul told them to obey, there would be
some reason in it. We hear so much about
woman's sphere, but never a word about
that of man. That's because he has none.
But he is as rapidly as possible crowding
into woman's, taking the places of laund-
dresses, cooks. mattresses and everything
else especially suited to woman. L am
glad the law allowing women to vote has
been delayed for 80 years, as it has given
US a chance to become educated up to it,
while there are lots of men who never will
be educated up to that point.
Several Pleasant Features of ths Day.
Miss Shaw talked an hour and half and
held her audience throughout. After her
lecture she held an informal reception on
the platform, where she met scores of
friends of the movement DR.. j. NJ. Buck
lev will give the other side of the question
tomorrow. His lecture was prepared be-
fore Miss Shaw's was delivered and will
not be an answer to it. DR.. Buckley lee
tured on Christian science to-day. He says
the faith cure has existed in some form ever
since the days of Pericles, and will con-
tinue to exist 1t is at a very low ebb now
because when patient dies under the
charge of a scientist the latter is liable to
arrest Dr. Buckley has lectured at Chau
tauqua more than any other man. To-day
he gave his thirty-eighth lecture
To-day the tennis doubles were finished
the team composed of the Blakeslee broth
ers winning. There was some interesting
work before the result was announced. The
Chautauqua ball team to-day defeated the
WestfieId boys by score of to /. Both
teams played excellent ball. The Chicago
University runs athletics here. Captain
Stagg is at the head of the ball team and
one of his assistants, Mr.. j. E Raycroft,
has charge of the tennis. Both have their
departments we'll cared for and are making
them successful
