when compelled to leave his paper, The
Citizen, and go to Washington he put
the scholarly Il. O'Neill Russell, of New
York, in charge. Mr.. Russell is an en-
thusiast on the Gaelic, which he speaks
and reads with musical fuency, and soon
got other lrishmen interested, and SO the
club was formed, with Mr.. Russell pres
ident and Maurice Cream secretary.

men and Scotchmen such rapid progress
was made in the study that III few
months Gaelic was the vernacular of
the club. They declare with one voice
that it is a language very easily ac-
quired, though it certainly does not look
it in print. Two ladies of the class,
teachers in the Chicago high schools,
testify that in eight months they learned
it sufficiently to translate English into
Gaelic at sight. No club in the country
has more enthusiastic membership
than the Gaelic. .
be the Shaw-wa-nos-so-way, so named
from the Indians who once ranged
around Lake Shawano in Wisconsin.
The name has no particular bearing as
to the nature of the club, as it is almost
purely a social affair, and will study In
dian antiquities only when it has no
iyelier amusement. 1t will make
specially of hunting up good clubable
fellows from other cities who may visit
the Worlds fair, especially members of
prominent clubs, and will try to make
Chicago like home to them.
As the ladies began late they have
not yet developed SO great variety in
clubs as the gentlemen. but the Woman's
Columbian club, recently organized at
Louisville, deserves special mention. AS
its name implies it is an organization to
aid in representing Kentucky at the
Worlds fair, and very appropriately its
active president is Miss Ida E. Symmes,
granddaughter of the famous John
Clevis Sym1nes. This gentleman was
not only brave soldier in the wars of
the border and that with England, from
1902 to 1916, and a pioneer Of Newport,
where he died, but also puzzled the sci
entists with a plausible theory that the

Somewhat akin to the Sea Serpents are
the Argonauts Of Chicago, though the
latter consist largely of railroad men.
Two years ago this club was organized
and obtained possession of a landing
place at the end of the Illinois Central
railways pier.
Far out in the lake, at the end of the
long wharf, stands their peculiar club
house called the Argo. 1t is IL club
house in a ship which could be launched,
but probably never will be. AS the
club is the Argonant and the clubhouse
the Argo, SO the membership is limited
to tifty-one, the number assigned 10y
Greek mythology to the famous crew
which made the often sung voyage in
search of the golden fleece. Since
.!nlsa j, 1s91tthe Argo has stool at the
piers end looking as if just ready to be
launched-a two storied structure with
roomy deck, where the Chicago
Argonauts enjoy themselves and keep
cool in the hottest weather.
No other club in Chicago will be SO
handsomely housed as the Lakeside,
which was organized in 1884 and now
has 256 members, when its new place is
finished. 1t stands at the southwest
corner of Grand boulevard and Forty
second street and will have five high
stories and an apex roof, the whole MAX
ing it nearly the equivalent of an ordi-
nary ten story structure. The whole bou-
levard front will be occupied by its hand
some parlors, and it will havea banquet
ing hall Sd by 50 feet, and an assembly
hall 10 by 121 feet exclusive of the large
stage, besides many other rooms for club
use. The structure will be chiefly of
buff Bedford stone and will rank among
the finest buildings in Chicago.
Still another Chicago dnstitution wor-
thy Of note is the Gaelic club, composed
originally of Irishmen, but now contain
ing Scotchmen also, and all devoted to
the study and culture of the Gaelic Ian
guage and literature. This club owes
its origin to the election Of Hon. John

"A Girls Room iii Which IA Few Things
We're Tastefu1ly Disposed.
"Show me a girls room and I'll tell
you what manner of woman she is, is
an old saw in the womans BOOK of char
acter study, and the other day, when
ushered into a room unlike any other in
the universe, it needed no oracle to an
nounce to the writer that it was the nest
of a ladybird with ideas and originality,
the happy faculty of making the best of
things, and an artist by instinct, if not
by profession. The first thing to attract
attention was a wonderfully sunny win
dow, with a sash curtain of thin yellow
silk covered with the soft gray shadows
of dancing vine leaves.
The window had an unpleasant out
look, and the silk for its decoration had
been carried to a veranda, where vine
made the shadow of its graceful leaves
upon the floor. She had laid the silk
down where the shadows were most per-
feet, and then had fixed them forever
with soft gray water colors and gathered
it in her window sash. Beneath the
window she had arranged little sea,
with yellow cushion, and draped
across the window pole and down one
side the window curtain of striped
grenadine--white,. with yellow and dull
blue and olive-in the curtain Beside
it was revolving boolzstand flled with
magazines and new books. A white fur
rug stretched out in front, and On this
were more cushions, the heavy ones of
which form u seat.
Another thing to attract attention was

sells, a brilliant decoration. Some one

mer to the next. But she had ideas if
she didn't have the veranda, SO she put
up hooks in diagonal corners of the room
and suspended the luxurious web there
on when she wanted to forget how busy
she was. When not in use more, hooks
simply draped the bright netting against
the wall. And last of all was noticeable
the dressing table, which was made after
the old duchess fashion, ample and low
enough for its possessor to utilize rest
fully sitting in the low white chair
which stood before it. The table was
made Of wooden frame, which SHE
herself designed, the top padded, GOV.

morists took it for granted that woman
was not clubable, and when the now
famous Sorosis was first projected the
paragraphers made merry over it, but
now women's clubs are well estab-
lished institution.
The Manhattan, Union. Knickerbock-
er and ~ few other New York clubs are
known of all readers, and the Union
league on one side and the famous Iro-
quois club of Chicago on the other are
powers in politics. In fact, this is the
clubbing age. So numerous are clubs
that the ordinary nomenclature is ex-
hausted, and when Il new one is organ
lied the choice Of title is recognized as
the task OF the most learned and versa
tile member. There is, for instance, the
Whitechapel club of Chicago, whose
name suggests the CHASTITY. and whose
performances, if reports lie not, are
worthy OF its name.
There is also the Argonaut club Of
Chicago, with its quarters on boat that
was never launched. In New York city,
in addition to those well known, are the
Catholic, the University, the Tender
loin, the Vaudeville, the Hoot, the Thir-
teen and the Glover clubs, the Colonial,
the Eccentric, the Federal, the Down
Town, the Clergy, the Snowshoe. the
Triple Alliance and many others of a
social or literary nature. besides a long
array Of those composed of the foreign
born, each bearing IL name designating
the nation.
The Thirteen club has for its avowed
object Ito combat injurious snpersti-
tions." The Eccentric is much the same,
and membership is limited by the merci-
less restrictions, "The abolition of myth
and substitution therefor of science and
reason, the possession of ideas and origi-
nal thought, and the faculty of express
ing the same orally or in writing in
prose or verse" Evidently such club
is to be very select, and has entered on
work which bids fair to last it some
thousands of wears

THEY WRITE POETRY
TO THE PUBLIC, HOWEVER, THEIR
LIMPlD PROSE is MOST FAMILIAR.

Mrs. Edith Sessions Tupper and Mrs Lee
c. Hardy Represent the Far North and
the Very sunny South, but Both Are
Truly American.
Poetry is confined to no cline and to
no race, though some peoples are gifted
far above others, and it is one of the
pleasing facts to all Americans that their
poets today represent every section of
the nation. For an illustration let two
ladies be taken-one of Jewish blood and
far southern birth and rearing, the other
Of old Puritan stock, born and reared
near the Canada line. Mrs. Lee c. Hardy
is thoroughly southern and Mrs. Edith
Sessions Tupper quite as thoroughly
northern in origin, feeling and educa-
tion, yet both are now the pride of New
York, and their fame is truly national.
Mrs. Harby's father was Marx E. Co
hen, graduate of the University of
Glasgow, who married Miss Armida
Hardy, of family distinguished in the
history and literature of South Carolina.
They became the parents of one son and
five daughters. The son lost his life in
the Confederate army, and the fathers

TWO SINGERS WHO ARE IN TOUGH

Of Whom All Lovers OF literature Have
Heard. f&1~l
The far west is still the land of ro-
nance to many million Americans, but
it is no longer the wild west. Railroads
traverse it in many directions, and its
fertile valleys are turned into farms,
while mining towns and stock ranches
thickly dot all its wilder regions. The
day of the trapper and Santa Fs trader
passed long ago. The day of the scout
and Indian fighter is almost gone. After
the era of action comes the era of verse,
and two eminent men have distinguished
themselves in both Enes-Joaquin Mil
Ter and Captain Jack Crawford, the
''poet> scout"
The former is now referred to as quite
an old man, in complete retirement, al
most hermit at his home in the foot
hills of California, yet he was born In
1841. Captain Crawford is considered
quite young man, yet he is nearly as
old as Miller-old enough indeed to be q

Politics a Costly Game.

The United States senate is called a
"millionaire's club" and very often
criticism is made on the prominence of
wealthy men in public life. But the
fact seems to be that none but the rich
or corrupt can afford to hold office in
these days of large expenditure. For
example, it is said that the lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland has a salary of 100000
per annum, but the expenses of the po-
sition are SO high as to make big pri-
vate fortune necessity to the appointee.
