The work of the Ruskin Art club mas
been for two years in history, archaic art
and primitive 6recian architecture, until
1t has finally reached that match ess
period where its temples, sculpture and
literature made for Greece a name i'm
mortal.
This year the club takes up the great
schools of art whose masters we're Phid-
las, polycleitos. Myron, Scopas and
Prayiteles; explores the temples whose
wonders are ever source of mysterious
fascination to the student of archaeology.
To study the best thought OF classic
minds, expressed in the silent cloqucncc
OF their broken marbles and ruined tenn
Piles has been a continual delight, but the
elimination OF this intellectual pleasure
awaits the student IN the realms of Greek
Literature, whepe the living words OF an
cent sages have come down to us-a
deathless heritage.
II is the intention of the club to re-
view, sucessively, the tragedies OF Aesch-
ylur Sophocles and Euripides; the come-
dies Of Arlstopbsnes, the historical works

it has now mem bership of nearly two
hundred and is on sound financial as
well as literary basis.
The club sprans into being well armed,
well equipped from the beginning, and
while it is not exactly an outcome OF
the senior society in Oakland, the Ebel
in the north was its ms piration and help
ed very materially in its organization. Its
aim is "sdvanceinent in general culture.
and as no discussion of either politics or
religion is permitted, it must remain a
purely non-partisan, non-sectarian society
interested only in literary and scholarly
pursuits.
"A very pleasant feature of this club is
monthly social meeting, when papers
or themes different from those studied by
sections are presented and discussed
"over the tea cups"
No papers are prepared except by men,
bers OF the Ebeel. Lecture courses are
arranged for the coming year when per-
sons of acknowledged talent will address
the society and its friends.
The organization and management OF
this society are due in large measure to
the efficient and never-tirng labors OF
its president, Mrs. II. W. r. Strong.
Earnest workers have helped her and the
Ebel STANDS today a strong. young
woman, ready to help all women who
need and recognizes that they need intel

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON CLUE,
ALEXANDRIA

On an aftern Don in November, 1873,
eighteen women assembled in response
to one hundred Invitations and organized
.his club for the purpose OF social enjoy
msnt and intellectual improvement.
This Nom bership roll very soon num-
bered sixty; the interest and enthusiasm
were in direct proportion.
No special line OF study was taken up for
1898, but each weeks program was ar
RANGED by . committee of three.
For lS94.5 . schedule of study WAS
al opted, each months work being In
charge of one leader, one meeting every
month was devoted to our country, ns
history, resources, etc, and one TO a
paper or lecture. The women of the Fri
Cay Morning club have given us valuable
and appreciated help in this way.
At present the Wednesday afternoon
club is taking a course in Shakespeare,
from Mrs. Kate Upper Galpin. During
Deccm Der a series OF lectures will be
given under its auspices by Mrs. Mia
Topper Maynard. The vaIue OF wo-
mans club III a country towh cannot be
overestimated. Little prejudices are
overcome, reserves are broken, com mu-
nifty of interests is established, tolera-
ton, self-control, ana mutual friendship
are developed, the mental horizon is en-
larsed and the mind given an occupation
far better than dispensing current gossip:
No village or country neishborhood
should be without club.

SANTA BARBARA's wOMAN'S CLUB.

SANTA BARBARA'S WOMAN'S CLUB.
The Woman's club of Santa Barbara,
now three years old, and of which Mrs.
Frances A. Baxter is president, has been
doing soma very excellent practical
work recently in municipal affairs. &
was desired By the owners OF some as
pnalt mines that the roads of Santa
Barbara should be paved to the extent OF
a strip uf crude asphalt in the middle OF
each street, at an expense OF SoO, Oo0 to
the taxpayers of the city. This. as 1t
WAS proposed TO do it, would have been
ruin to the streets or a waste OF much
money which is sorely needed for other
purposes. The expense OF an election
was great, but although members of this
woman's club interviewed all the voters
they were not able to prevent the calling
of one. But they did succeed in arous-
ing the interests of voters, who had
neither thought nor cared about the mat
ter and the result was the defeat of the
bill which If carried would have proved
disastrous to the best interests OF the
city. The club, through the courtesy OF
the Independent newspaper, edited the
Saturday edition of that sheet, and the
result was all shat could have been de-
sired.
The Wuman's club OF Santa Barbara
though eminently q social one, stands to.
day for all that is best, intellectually and
morally, while extremely conservative
and practical in its spirit.
