League of Press Clubs. Women seem
to take to journalism as naturally as to
many other things that not so very long
ago were considered the especial prov
ince of men. And that they are sue
cessful in it is proven by the names of
such women as sally Joy White"
whose name is household word wher-
ever the Boston Herald is known. The
woman's department in that paper has
received the sincerest Kind of f1attery.
that of being initiated and copied, with
or without credit, according to the con-
science of the user, even so far West as
away beyond st. Paul.
Mrs. White is president of the New
England Press association, and is
clever writer on many subjects. She
is an enthusiastic believer in women
and an ardent friend Of all the meas
ures that tend to enlarge and ennoble
woman's life in every capacity. Mrs.
White is accompanied by charming
| young daughter, who boldly declares
| that she would rather endure the pangs
| of an unbecoming dress than to have 10
write an article for publication.
| The Buffalo Express is we'll repre-
sented as to its woman's and social de-
partment by Miss Helen Lacy, who has
never yet been able to explain her po-
SitlOn or success as bright newspaper
woman by any preconceived liking for
the work, and her success since, as she
says, she drifted into it, has been as COM
plete as it has been gratifying TO her
self and her friends.
Pittsburg's delegation is very choice
one, though the women of the party
decry any claim to being newspaper
women in the strictest sense of the
term. Mrs. keenan, comes as the guest
of her son, T. j. Keenan,, of the Pitts
burg Press, and is well posted on news
paper matters, bright talker, a close
| observer and an enthusiastic American,
who disapproves of secret societies or
anything else that. according to her
Quaker training, may have a tendency
to weaken the hold that national honor
and patriotism should have upon all
citizens.
Miss Helen Winslow, whose latest book,
''Salome Carpenter. Reformer," was
lately reviewed in the GLOBE, is one
among the brightest women who are in
the city today. She IS the editor of the
Woman's department Of the Boston
journal and smaller paper, called
Comfort. Miss Winslow is the ideal
literary woman in appearance, being
above the average height, with deli
cate face and soft, serious, blue-grey
eyes. Her manners are charming and
her voice delightful.
The typical Southern women are Mrs.
Gordon, of Atlanta, Ca, and her niece,
Miss Louisa Bigbee. Mrs. Gordon is
free lance in the field Of literature, con-
tributing to the Atlanta Constitution
and various magazines in the South as
we'll as at the North. She is fair ex-
ponent Of the new South, and says that
the feeling of bitter animoSity once felt
there for the North has died away with
the fleeing years. And what few people
know is that the first steps in this recon
Citation and refraternizing were the
work of women on both sides of the
| line. Miss Bigbee is beautiful girl, as
well as an exceedingly intelligent one,
| and by her winning personality carries
! captive, and even chained at her
| chariot wheels, all masculineS from
| lisping boyhood to dignifed old age
She is charming singer and has aided
by her gift in making the impromptu
| entertainments that were held i'll each
car Oh the journey out as delightful as
they could be.
Mrs. Allie Whitiker, of the New Eng
| land Farmer, is another typical repre-
| sentative woman. Beside the work she
does on her paper she has done great
deal in organizing clubs among the
| farmers wives and daughters for Wom-
ans purposes, cooking clubs being
| speciality.
Mrs. Barbara W. Laplin is not only
newspaper woman in the ordinary sense
| of the word, but beside this is the bust
ness manager of the Somerville Journal
as we'll as its editor.
| Mrs. Eliza Archaid, who has charge
of the farm, dairy and stock depart
ments of the American Press, is also a
very bright and attractive woman, whose
life goes to prove that woman may be
i'll newspaper work. and in departments
that are not usually given over to her
control, and yet be so beautifully Wom-
anly that to see her is to admire all she
does.
The very first woman's department
| of a daily paper was started as an ex-
pertinent some years ago in the Toledo
Blade, and Mrs. Emily S. Bouton was
put in charge of it. That it was a sue
cess the hundreds of papers which de-
vote some space to subjects of especial
interest to women clearly demon
strate, and the credit of that sue
cess belongs to Mrs. Bouton. Mrs. Can
sior, who has the name of being the
brightest speaker in that club of bright
women, "Sorosis," is as charming per-
sonally as she can be as a talker, and
her delightful manner would easily win
harder hearts than she is likely to en-
counter anywhere in the West, where
women have wider swing than in the
more conservative East, and can do
about as they please, providing they do
it in a pleasing way.
| Miss Davis accompanies her brother,
William Davis, of the Pittsburg News
league. She is pleasant woman with
the full soft voice that the smoky city
seems TO encourage, believer in the
pride that springs from success won by
honest effort, ana confidence in the
ability of Pennsylvania to accomplish
what she sets out to do that is delightful
to one who has moved about until she is
not able to tell just where she does be-
long or what she believes.
Miss Maria Parloa, of cooking school
| fame, has done more to make economy
popular among those to whom il should
be necessity than any half-dozen other
women the world has ever seen. She
looks fair exponent of her own
theories, provided always that she lives
up to them. PoOrly-fed Americans who
are dying of hamilton amidst profusion,
| should begin to save their pennies at
once, so that when she is done with her
work Rere she may have monument in
| proportion TO the debt of gratitude they
owe. She is our guest also.
Mrs. Waught, of the Buffalo Courier.
is beautiful singer, and is gracious
with her gift, and so makes happy
many hours that otherwise would be
heavy for her fellow travellers.
Among the many incidents of the
! journey, one mysterious event was
often referred to. This was the disap-
pearance, OF rather the dematerializa-
ton, of Mr.. Meekins, whose non-appear-
ance at the time of leaving Chicago
produced among his friends sort of
tho lost to sight, to memory dear"
sort of feeling, that was only quieted
by his appearance IN corporeal form
when the train reached st. Paul.
Among the ladies at the Press club
yesterday morning appeared kindly
man with serious visage and dignifed
mien, sort of 'Pll-be- your-brother''
air, that would have deceived the very
