long answer short, it is a woman's club
all the professional anC business
women want it. Last year agitated the
question of establishing such a club.
talked about it to some few clever and
busy women, and they all thought they
liked the idea, but no one wanted to take
the responsibility of saying, Lets have
one in Savannah" So, for lack of enter
orising interest, the woman's club didn't
take But lately some professional
women said to me; why didn't you
keep it up2 Why don't you get up an in
terest in it and make a start We all
want it. We busy women who
don't have time and means to en-
terrain and meet the women, of
Savannah, we want a reading room
and club room. where he can get a cup Of
tea and meet in formally each other. Fit
will be no help in business, it certainly
will be a rest mentally and physically TO
drop into the club in the afternoon and
meet many pleasant and bright women,
instead of making Journey to see one
and then find her out" Now there is
much sense in all this, and while the
women can't afford a large and hand
somely furnished club house, they can
afford one or two comfortably furnished
rooms, where they can meet on mutual
ground The woman's club is an inevita-
bic necessity, and is on the way to deyel7
opment. Then there Is something
else Savannah needs, something
again for women, and That's is
permanent class for phys
zeal culture and Delsarte The frail Sa-
vannah woman needs it. The young.
girls need it to develop them into strong,
healthy and well formed women Is
walk on the streets and notice the women
/ am struck with the fact that they are
delicate Now, there's nothing more at
tractive than an attractive woman, and
to be attractive she needs the beautitier,
health, and with that she can be indie
pendent of artifce. The average south
ern girl Is too careless of her health She
spends more time on her gowns than she
does on the study of hygiene. She Tags
herself and wears out her stamina. Del
sarte and physical culture could give her
grace, exercise and muscle; all of which
She needs.
The Tybee season is beginning with the
usual enthusiasm. Already parties have
gone out to enjoy the bree-es on the
beach and the oceans mighty roll. The
pavilion is undergoing repairs, and. with
this exception, there is no track left by
cottage clubs repairs are very nearly
completed, and with the exception of
drift of sand that inhospitably but firmly
closes the gate, it is in as good shape as
formerly. Only the broken tree tops and
the sand banks remind one of what
wreck the island was after the storm.
There is general rejoicing that Tybee is
again accessible, and the stay-at-home
club can feel independent of other resorts
as long as Tybee exists.

nual picnic at Greenwich last Tuesday,
