Recognition of Woman In the League of
Press Clubs
It was ike the International League
of Press Clubs and thoroughly graceful
Tor its members to decide that the next
MANUAL convention in 1894 should be
held at Atlanta. The invitation was ex-
4ended by one of the women's clubs be-
1onging to the league-the Woman's
Press association of Georgia. The Inter
national League of Press Clubs was organ
lied three years ago, mainly by the late
Mr.. T. J. keenan, Of the Pittsburg Press.
st the beginning he and few others de-
cided that women's press clubs should
be admitted on equal terms. There was
opposition ON the part Of few fogies,
but 1t was overruled, and every press
club in good standing with mem
bership, male or female, or both, of not
less than % can now become a part Of
this admirable organization. 1t strength
ened the hopes of all who have the prog
ress Of the race at heart to witness the
way in which the lady delegates were
treated by the gentlemen at the late con-
vention at St. Paul. Men do not usually
like to have women attend their ban
quets-largely because it is taken for
granted that ladies object to smoking.
1t had been accordingly arranged that
the women delegates should have sep
arate reception of their own, while the
gentlemen enjoyed the banquet the citi-
Zens Of St. Paul had provided. But
q deputation Of men, uncommon
" good looking ones, invaded the hall
where the ladies were and carried every
one Of the women delegates off to the
banquet, where one of them, Sallie Joy
White Of the editorial staff Of the BOs-
ton Herald, made q brilliant speech. Ad-
mirable tributes to women newspaper
writers were paid by distinguished men
journalists, and brave words were spoken
by these in favor OF equal pay for equal
work. Two women were elected among
the officers of the league for the coming
year, one being a vice president, the 9th
er a member of the executive committee.
Six press clros Of women have mem
bership in this chivalrous and brainy or
ganization. The number should be in
creased. The league is now endeavorine
to get funds to build home for aged
and infirm journalists. Wherever you
can say a good word for the Interna
tional League of Press Clubs, say it.
Man is an animal with foreshadowing'
OF higher development.
Did you observe the fact that the
topics which aroused most interest anC
enthusiasm at the women's Chicago con
gress were dress reform and suffrage!
Great praise is due the women who ar
ranged the Cincinnati room In the Won
ans building at the Columbian fair. The
pottery, painting and other art work O.
the women of Cincinnati have long beer
famous, and none of those who see thel
beautiful parlor at Chicago will grudg
them an atom of the credit that is theirs
Pottery, painting, embroidery and WOO
carving of rare quality are here. Tn
decoration of the room itself, including
the wall painting, was done by Mis-
Agnes Pitman and Mrs. Trivett. Tn
famous reproductions of Limoges pot
tery. through the method discovere
by that gifted Cincinnati girl, Mis-
Louise Mclaughlin, a dozen year
ago. are ON exhibition, from thei
earliest to their latest development
One of the famous art objects In tn
room is Mrs. G. a. Plympton's Alhan
bra vase, lent for the occasion by tn
Cincinnati Art museum. Mrs. Plyml
ton has been for years urging artist
potters to develop the many exceller
claws that lie all about them under the
very feet in America. Her vase is mad
of inlaid clays of various colors. i
wonderful effects of soft, rich color sho
what a field is before ceramic artists
the United States. If we only knew
we need not go to Europe for fine an
beautiful clays for potters' wares.
