great thing in a club. AS to what con

items of facts are all that should be
classed under his head. The gossipy

ducts OF some imaginative writer do
not properly belong to this branch of
club work.

acter In the average individual club
m is this a fair statement?
To be sure, there are narrow-minded.
envious women in clubs. Alas! we all
know them. One such woman is enough
to injure seriously the work OF a small
club; half a dozen Of her can give a
large club a bad name-a reputation for
backbiting and all uncharitab leness.
Half a dozen such women can keep a
club in a chronic quarrelsome state. and
by spreading evil reports outside can
destroy all Its usefulness I'm a communi-
ty. But in the most notorious of such
affairs h trouble is caused by a mere
handful of narrow-minded women. while
nine-tenths of the membership sit sad
ly by in shamed silence. Shall they be
condemned because Of the quarrelsome
few? But in the vast majority of clubs
the spirit Of petty rivalry and self-seek-
Ing which is sometimes noticeable in in
divdual cases is fast disappearing. or
never materialized. There is such a
great and splendid work for the wom-
ems clubs to do hat the earnest. noble,
unselfsh woman becomes absorbed in
something beyond sel~f-seeking; she
ceases to care whether her name stands
first on the list Of committees. or, in
deed. whether 1t is there at all. She
ceases to mind IL she is left off the list
Of after-dinner speakers at the annual
banquet. She ceases to suffer an envious
pang becauses her enemy Is asked to
write the club poem. for the simple rea-
son that b has ceased to be conscious
OF an enemy. She has ceased to feel
the Sights which may have grieved her
In the past. because she has ceased to

has come to rejoice and be glad in any
good thing that may befail any good
becauses she has grown broad
minded enough to recognize that honor
and glory falling to one woman mean
honor and glory for the cause of all
women. In short. the club
movement is to-day one Of the greatest
factors In the worlds progress: and ne
or she who proclaims q disbelief in it
because OF the shortcomings of some
few club acquaintance lacks the fac
ulty of a comprehensive perception of
the things of to-day, as well as OF a
prophetic insight into the future.
All club women should be informed
upon the subjects of the day. With
this object in view most clubs devote a
portion OF each meeting to the discus
sion OF current events. The subjects
are presented in an informal manner
in some clubs: the liveliness of the dis
cussions in this case depends upon the
subject presented or the ability of the
speaker in making the most of her sub
ject. III she Is wise she will close her
remarks by asking a question. Other
clubs follow the plan of assigning the
members to special branches of current
events. such as literature. art and mu-
sic. science. politics. etc. Each one is
expected to report whatever IL Of in
terest or new upon her subject. Some
clubs prefer taking up current events
