intellectual activity of the city, is the

time to literature. The principal sub

Queen Elizabeth. AS this includes
Shakespeare, special attention is given
to his life and early writings, with the

The club also devotes some time to
educational matters. Members visit
the public schools, not as critics, but
as friends, and make reports to the

monthly subscriptions averaging about
$50. The young ladies raise the addi-

of which have been the operas of "The
Dress Rehearsal and The Pirates of

Provo has two strong women's clubs.
They exert a strong influence. The
first of these is the Nineteenth Cen
fury club, which was organized in 1891,
among the charter members being Mrs
Elmer B. Jones and Mrs. H. d. Moore,
now of Salt Lake. To the untiring eff
forts of those ladies the club is deeply
indebted.
The Nineteenth Century is a very
conservative organization, and believes,
first of all, in effect, as it's motto,
"They fail, and they alone, who have
not striven,' indicates. Its object is to
promote the highest intelligence and
spiritual development of it's members
through any avenues of study or work
that may seem profitable.
The officers are: Mrs. Lizzie Hyslop

An Organization With Aims That
Are Essentially Practical.
The salt Lake Woman's club was
organized on the 4th of October. 1892,
and was federated with in 1888.
The objects of the club, as defined in
article II, Of the constitution. are
mutual sympathy and counsel and
united effort in helping women in ev-
cry way.
The club is differed as such societies
, usually are, with a president. vice
president, recording and corresponding
Secretaries, librarian, treasurer. his
torian, critic aud advisory board OF

The aim of the club has ever been
practical. The literary attachments.
though encouraged, and appreciated.
are held suloservient to practical ends.
The year-books of the club display a,
wide range of subjects, excluding
none. yet ever tending towards a.
deepenfng interest in questions of
practical reform. The work of the
club has been the study. agitation. and
presentation of advanced ideas along
the Zines of domestic, social, and politi-
cal economies. All matters educational
have had the hearty encouragement
and earnest support Of the club.
Slowly and cautiously the club en-
gaged in practical work, remembering
Coethc's words that Activity without
insight is a dangerous thing Yet we

that we are called on to tell something
of ourselves must go to show that this
life has become a factor in the COM
munity.
We trust this something will be of
interest indeed to the many, while of
illumination to others.
We hope that at least little interest
will be felt in the pioneer literary club
of the state-The Ladies' Literary
founded some 20 years ago by hand
full of women eager for the pursuit and
diffusion of knowledge. In num-
bers they have steadily increased, till
now the roll call is nigh unto $50.
From small ways this club has
steadily grown to larger, better,
broader ones. Is not broad-minded-
ness one of the crying needs of our
humanity? And n our perhaps poor
way we are striking for t. Therefore
we recognize no limits. We aspire to
be a beacon light in cur fair city, and
may we all meet on the broad platform
Of womanhood, joining hands in a
common cause of intellectually and
philanthropy.
That something more than mere sell
fish intellectual enjoyment has already
been attained by this club can be seen
from one glance at the Improvement in
organization and methods of order For
the more practical acquiring OF knoWl-
edge the club has, within the last
couple of years divided itself into six
sections, art, current literature and
events, education, history, Shakes
peare, and tourists, chairman direct
ing the work of each. Every member
must be identified with at least one
section. These departments may be
added to at the request of any ten
members desiring to band together for
some special object, nor need they
confine themselves to literary matters,

THE REVIEWERS.
One Of the Best Known Salt Lake
Clubs.

The Reviewers is q club limited in
membership, which has for it's object
the intimate study not only of the
choicest in current literature, but the
keeping in touch with current thought
and the upward movements Of the
times as well.
Book reviews and miscellaneous sub
jects are presented at alternate meet
ings. while the continuous work of the
club for this year will be a study of
the evolution of the novel, going back
to the classic founders of English fic-
ton in the tenth century.
Although limited in membership the
club will share its privileges with it's
friends five times during the year, on
which occasions refreshments are
served and emphasis is laid on the
social side Of club life.
The invitation afternoons which the
club still holds in anticipation are

The Authors Club.

The Authors club was organized at
the home of Mrs. Nellie Little in Sep
TENDER, 1893. Its purpose is to study
the life and works of various authors.
1t is limited in number to Is members,
and during the first year each member
studied the author of her choice,
dwelling as long upon his life and
works as she chose.
Since the beginning of the second
year the members have acted as a
class, all studying the same author at
a, time. Each member takes her turn
in giving a topic from the text. 1t is
since acting as a class that the clubs
work seems really to have begun
The study of the works of anv
outhor is preceded by his biography.
Milton, Emerson, Samuel Johnson,
RusIin and Carlyle are the authors
whose works have been studied by the
class as a class. EmersOn's Essays and
Representative Men, and the works of
Carlyle seem to have given particular
pleasure to the members, as the
thoughts of these eminent men so
stimulate discussion and research. One
lady has been known TO say she gets
about as much comfort from EmersOn's
Essays as from her Bible. Carlyle'S
History of Literature has been the sub
iect so far this year. In January the
class takes up Spencer's Education
Through courtesy of Mrs. Little the
club has met since it's organization at
her home
The officers for the year are: Mrs.
Augusta w. Grant, president; Mrs.
Jane NJ. Kingsbury presides in the
absence of Mrs. Grant: Mrs. Nellie
NJ. Little, secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth G.
Crismon, corresponding secretary and
treasurer; Mrs. Elizabeth s. Viii
cox, critic and historian; Mrs. Lille T.
Richards, assistant critic.

UTAH woMANs PRESS CLUB.
Only Organization of the Kind In
the State.

The Utah Woman's Press club was
organized Oct 81, 1891, in the Office Of
the Woman's Exponent. The object
was to further the literary develop
ment and interest of women visitors,
and to foster and strengthen individual
efforts by organization. All members
are expected to do original work in
composition. and to study the best
methods with a view of doing journal
istic work in a clear and concise man
ner. The club members also discuss
the questions of the day, in order to
comprehend them the better to aid their
worl-
There are three women editors in the
club.

philanthrophy.
Then give one thought of how these
women have courageously built for
themselves g, home, having to wrestle
with business principles before I'M

thy purse can buy" have we in this
matter tacitly adopted as our motto,
so do not smile at our necessary SIM
plicity because in time we shall add
the ornaments.
Think, too. of the energetic work for
the establishment of a public library,
now an assured fact, which is greatly
due to the women of this club.
You see. then, that practical work
has gone hand in hand with the
1pleasurable gathering in of some
knowledge.

YOUNG LADIES' AID SOCIETY.
An Organization That Is Engaged In
Charitable Work.

The Young Ladies' Aid society was
organized in 1886 by number of young
ladies who felt that they might fill the
.'long-felt want of an organized char
table association. Though not one of
the original members is now a member
of the society, the work has been and
is being carried on in a successful way
by those who have succeeded them.
The officers are: A president a vice
president, who succeeds the president
in office, a secretary and a treasurer,
who are elected at the annual meeting
in October. The number of active
members is limited to 10, though there
is a large number of honorary mem
bers, among whom might perhaps be
classed the generous men and women
who so kindly contribute each month

become acquainted with the spirit Of
the times and to study parliamentary
