THE IDEAL OF wOMEN'S CLUBS

Such are the visible immediate evil
dences of the work of woman's clubs,
and yet it must be urged that these
labors are secondary in Importance to
what the outsider may consider the
more selfish features of the club. The
Improvement and reform of its own
members is the first consideration of
the well-organized club. To make en-
thusiastic woman out of those of lam
guild and weary mind, to help to larger
thoughts those narrowed by long do
nestle toll, to put to practical use the
accomplishments and charms of those
of social grace or especial talent, is
what the club does when it attains its
ideal. The educated woman gives of
her knowledge to the ignorant one,
the talented lends to her of poor i'm
aginatiOn, and those who cannot give
of their abilities, give of their atten-
ton. As appreciation is half of the
success of any achievement, it must be
insisted that the listening women have
their distinct value. Some clubs are
opposed to the admission of woman
who cannot Immediately and brilliant
~ contribute to the entertainment of
the members, and there is no cause to
quarrel with clubs of this sort. If
brilliant and witty woman wish to
have an exclusive place of netting,
they have as much right to their en-
joyment as brilliant and witty men,
nor are they under obligations any
more than are these men. to surround
themselves with a large number of
quiet and unimaginative companions
who would not understand the spirit
nor the letter of their ambrosial after
moons. But the work of the large
club with many departments is dis
tinctively different. and the women
unframed in thought, inexperienced
in study and in social usages, ought
to have a place there. The club should
be her school, and the beauty with
which she would become acquainted
in the poetry, the musical, and the art
classes. the habits of systematic
thought she would acquire in the
study classes, and the courteses she
would meet with at the social gather
ings, the tea-drinkings and recep-
tiOns. would make up deficit in her
life.-From Self Culture for Septem-

A SKETCH.

All day IL had raned IN cHafacter-
istic November fashion, feebly and at
intervals. The gold colored foliage of
the trees, turned a sombre brown by
the rigorous weather, drifted from the
boughs and branches at each sharp
beneath with sodden covering. In
the hollows of the battered pavement
r.iuwater rose TO the brims, pools OF
shining steel, broken into slow ripples
by the raindrops. Between these the
Philosopher slowly picked his way.
When he reached his room a gray
dusk had shrouded every object there.
Only the bursts on the brackets gleam-
ed pearl-white in the gloom. Inc
pvase was cold and the hearth untidy
with scattered ashes. When he CROPPED
for matches, there were nome to be
scmnd. and he sank YEARLY into
chair by the window at last, too spir-
,t,rss to call the landlady, or change
his muddy boots.
Outside lights were beginning 10
,remble through the darkness and one
window across the way was a oiaze
az radiance SO that from his lonely
uo,.t ne could see everything that went
ON within. The family was at supper.
. He recognized the fact mechanically
nj first. and then with growing inter-
est Uncunsciously, because he had
nothing else to do, he watched them.
They were a large family. He was
.ccustomed to seeing the different
members fitting back and forth and
I'M and out of the house, and TO hear
ing their voices as they called to each
other, or sang about their work. he
would have said, if he had stopped TO
think about them, and this he never
did that they were rather a happy
family in a commonplace way, and
that there was an extraordinary num-
her of children. But it was tonight
for the first time that they held an I'M
portant place IN his sight.
Yes. the family was at supper. Tney
had all trooped in with good deal
of noise. and little of ceremony, and
had taken their places around table
of great, but necessary length, and
two big boys and a father and moth
or and a girl. There was little
maid servant. who supplied their
wants with energy. if not with skill,
and there was a skye-terrier,, who
frisked around the table and upset
the maid servant, and furnished the
family. including the maid servant,
with innocent hilarity. They all
seemed rather excited over something
tonight. The four little boys, who
had scarlet cheeks. and very brown
eyes, and tumbled jackets. gesticulat-
ed wildly. thereby displaying their
muddy cuffs. The two big boys were
in a jocular moui and they drew
shouts of laughter from the rest OF
their witticisms. They toasted each
one in lemonade. and baited the fran
tic skye-terr;er. and seemed altogether
mirthful and careless. The girl was
young and pretty and general favor
lite, and she jumped up once or twice
TO run around and shake hands
with her father. who regarded
their merry-making with cheerful toll
