THE PEN AND BRUSH.

WOman's Club That Has No Mission Ex-
cept to Make Its Members Comfortable.
The newest thing in women's clubs
is the Pen and Brush Of New York.
1t is nothing if not unique, and it is
trying to be just as different from other
organizations as possible. To begin
with, it is not going to have any es-
says, papers or speeches for the improve
ment of the mind. 1t just means to
have good time, like mems clubs,
which must not convey the impression
that these women intend to stare out of
the windows, smoke, play billiards, gos-
sip and drink. Heaven Forbid The
members arc too intensely respectable
for that. They are mostly all we'll
known in the realm of art and letters.
The clubrooms at 26 West Twenty
second street are the daintiest, most
cozy spots imaginable. A large plat
form at one end holds couch piled with
pillows and a Turkish tabouret for tea
things. Bookcases, shelves and furni-
ture are painted a dull green, and orien-
tai rugs are on the floor. Curtains of
yellow silk drape the many small win
dows, and hangings and pillows repeat
this charming color The room is full
of cheer and sunlight. And what is
still better, it is not shut up for occa-
sions. 1t is open all the time, with a
maid in attendance.
The fair members drift in, drink a
cup Of tea, meet friends by appoint
ment, leave parcels or bags, read the
papers and generally find the club so
convenient they wonder how they lived
without it.
But listen! They have done some
thing-these daring Pen and Brushes
at which the other omen IS clubs stand
aghast. They let men into the sacred
precincts of the club every Sunday.
nay, they even invite them and give
them tea, and these men, brainy, bril-
liant fellows in art and letters, seem 80
like to go immensely well and quite
jump at the chance of getting peep at
the yellow room of ''The Pen and
Brush. "
Another innovation is no blackballing
in this club. The name of proposed
member is submitted to a committee
and either accepted or rejected as quiet
ly as possible. There is no president
all power being in the hands of gov
ernihg board of seven.

Beautlfying Alabama Towns.

The village improvement associations
are increasing in number in north Ala
bame. Florence and Huntsville have
them in full and successful operation,
and the Guntersville Democrat brings
news of the formation of such an asso-
citation in its town. In each town the
good women are foremost in organizing
and conducting the associations, man
or two coming in as a helper. The plans
are all made by the women, and SO are
the steps taken to carry them out. But in
every case the men stand ready to second
the efforts of the women. The beautify-
ing and cleansing of the towns in the
state is neither small nor an unimpor-
tant task. 1t is not only benefit to
every resident, but it will prove an at
traction that will secure more residents.
A town in which the paint brush and
whitewash brush are freely welded, in
which fences are kept in repair and
yards, both front and rear. are neatly
kept, will be preferred, other things be-
ing equal, to one-well, the other kind
can be seen almost any day. The less
said about the latter the better. They
are not pleasant to look at or to talk

MotormaD Hard to KIN.

According to a daily newspaper,
George w. Arberry, a motorman Of
Montgomery, Ala, fell i'll Of the yellow
fever and, it was thought, died. The
body was put into box which two
negroes undertook to cart away and
bury on hill. The mule team ran
away, and the box was overturned and
broken. When the negroes tried to fix
things up, Arberry came back to con-
sciousness and yelled to know what was
being done to him, which caused the
negroes to Gee as fast as their legs would
carry them. Arberry managed to crawl
to the nearest house, and, although
nearly dead from exposure, he recovered
