at II o'clock is crowded to the utmost.
The club is self-supporting. 1t is
not philanthropic venture, but rather
a cooperative enterprise, and each one
is supposed to make himself as COM
Portable and agreeable as possible. In
the evening classes are held in the diff
ferent rooms. and the best of teachers
are secured for this purpose. Among
the studies are French, German, art,
travel, physical culture, Delsarte, dane
ing, elocution, literature, stenography,
bookkeeping, china painting, music
vocal, piano. mandolin, guitar and
banjo, millinery, dressmaking, art
needle work and parliamentary law.
Any OF these lessons may be taken for
10 cents. The resident physician, DIR.

Alpha, and may Re consulted by the
members for small price.
In the early part of the summer Mrs.
Thomas secured for the benefit of the
Greek Letter club large, comfortable
house near South Haven, Mich, that is
now known as the Delta beach. This
house is for those members who wish
to take a vacation away from the noisy,
dirty city; and here they may stay for
the modest sum of 81 a week. The
house is situated in a nest of peach and
apple orchards. On one side its broad
piazzas command an unbroken stretch
of the lake, and on the other the beau
tiful prospect of country. Many a
young woman who would otherwise
have found it impossible to go away has
been able to avail herself of the privil-
eyes of this resort, and returned much

Women from all walks in life hold
membership in this club-clerks, stem
ographers, secretaries, housekeepers,
women of leisure, teachers, writers,
artists, musicians and professional
women. They meet, chat over their
luncheon about the current topics of
the day, listen to some good vocal or
instrumental music, discuss the latest
books or pictures, talk shop, and on
the whole have an hour or so of real
enjoyment. Many lonely women look
upon this club as the greatest blessing
that could possibly reach them in their
lives. 1t IS at once a rest and a source
OF knowledge from which the thirsty
may partake and be satisfied.

Nor is the young and very beautiful
president of the Atlanta exposition I'M

men of her family. She has for some
years been regarded as the social lead

Even before her marriage she was

his every interest, and gave as much Of
her time to the entertainment of the
influential strangers who came to At

father as she did to her own young
friends.
a few years ago any fine afternoon
one might have seen that charming girl
in an open carriage, seated beside a
silver-haired financial magnate, from a
distance, showing him doubtless the
city of Atlanta, with genuine pride,
and revealing to him its prospects, and
possibilities.

WOMAN AND HOME.
CHICAGO ENTERPRISE.
Clubs for Working Women Conducted on
GnnaIl,Ia plan

Clubs for Working Women Conducted on
Sensible Plan.
Much has been said and written
about the young women who are
obliged TO earn their living by working
down town. At best their lot is not a
bed of roses, but, says the Chicago
Chronicle, with the cooperation of the
club known as the Alpha club-or,
rather, Alpha branch of the Greek Let
ter club-these young women are made
as comfortable and happy as one who
is domiciled in the lap of luxury and
ease. The organization was formed
December IS, 1894, under the personal
supervision of Mrs. John w. Thomas,
who was a member of the Klio club.
She thought the quarters at the Moon
day Rest" too small and determined to
open another establishment of the
same kind. The two upper floors of
the new Athenaeum building on Dear
born street were rented and fitted up
in excellent and comfortable style. A
large, perfectly appointed reception
room and an immense room used as a
library are tastefully equipped with
everything to rest the body and de-
light the eye. The library contains a
large number of the finest books, the
latest periodicals and daily papers,
while on the tables boxes of paper and
writing utensils are placed for the use
of the club members.
Great rugs, dainty bits of bric-a-brac,
old mosaics, Indian pottery, antiques
including an old Dutch clock-choice
paintings, large collection of curios
arranged by thoughtful and refined
hand give the club the appearance of a
splendid home rather than the cold,
uncomfortable feeling of the usual
clubhouse.
The north room is used as a refectory,
and here. seated at small tables, at the
noon hour from 800 to 500 women take
their luncheon each day. The bill of
fare is n curiosity as far as the price
list is concerned. Soup with crackers
costs cents; all kinds of hot meats,
cents; vegetables, cents; pies, per cut,
cents, and so on, no one article ex-
ceeding the sum of five cents. The
usual cost of a meal for each woman is
IA cents. This is the maximum cost.
While the members are eating others
play the piano or go into the library to
read or rest, and still others sit in the
great chairs in the drawing-room or
rest on the comfortab BILE touches. In case
of a storm or for other good reason the
members are permitted to stay at the
club all night for the meager sum of %
cents. This small amount entities
them to all the privileges of the house
"a bath, clean, warm room and plenty
of light and air. The club is never
closed to members. The morning meal
is served from to s, the noon meal
from IL a. m. to , p. N. and supper

rust will destroy the metal. If the sur

the labor of keeping them bright will
