WOMEN's CLUBS.
These Are the Conditions Under Which
They Are Entitled to
COmmendation.

That many of the women's clubs in
America are doing valuable work in
many directions admits of no doubt.
And so long as woman's club keeps
within its sphere-that of the social,
mental and educational improvement
of the sex and the children-and does
not extend and take up political ques-
tions and go into maelstrom of pure
ly municipal matters, the conduct OF
which it is not given women to right
ly understand, and in which they can
do no good, but, on the contrary, eff
feet much harm, it serves a purpose
high and mighty. There is no ques-
tion at all of the benefit which woman
derives from getting out of the atmos-
phere of the routine of domestic ma
night, according as she is able to spare
the necessary time, and coming into
the different surroundings of a number
of other women at the meeting of
sensible and well-conducted literary,
social or educational club. Womens
clubs, like the clubs for men, are use
full institutions so long as they are
considered as q means toward an end,
and that end be social or mental i'm
provement. But when they are taken
in the light of an end in themselves,
then they become an evil which should
be corrected. For woman to make
her club the all-absorbing element in
her life is wrong. But used as we'll
directed means toward her own devel-
opment, her own exhilaration, to the
companionship Of the sexes, and not
their further separation, the woman's
club is commendable.-Ed w. Box,
in Ladies' Home Journal.

Quite new color 1t just beginning

Of the very lightest tone of sand used

materials it has a great deal to recon-
mend it. Being exceptionally soft, it
is far better without any trimming or
color, but blue, pink or yellow looks
well with it. 1t is becoming more and
more the mode to veil one tone with an
,ther, and we are certain to have more
and more demand for neutral shades,
which is all very we'll for the pretty
woman, but not so acceptable to the
mass of the community.-St. Louis Re-

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Sept 16.-Bradstreets Ffnan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: Prices have
reflected the changing opinion of the specu-
lative market as to the prospects of a dis
turbance in money. In the early part Of the
week the bad bank statement of last Saturday
and the expectation that the continued draw
ing of money in tho treasury would result IN
n contraction of loans caused more or less
liquidation by bullsh spectators and gave an
opportunity for bear operators to attack prices
The failure of interest TT "a to advance TO hg-
ures indicative of a scarcity of funds tended,
however to throw doubts on this view. while
the decline of exchange, the engagement OF
$1,000, 600 gold in London for import, the IN
crease by the New York banks Of their Govern
ment deposits and the fact that loans were
being shifted from New York to other cities
contributed to create an easier FEELING ABOUT
the money market which on Wednesday and
Thursday caused sharp rally in prices. on
Friday the rise continued and was helped by
the engagement for import Of about $1,000 GEO
more gold. In the latter mart OF the day, now
ever, the exceptional weakness of American
Sugar stock brought about general reaction
ury in declining to consider that the New York
money market exhibited symptoms Of pres
indicative of serious arrangement of bust
ness or calling for action by the treasury had
no doubt a share in bringing the stock market
inclined to believe in the po-~ihlIity of a sharp
furry in interest rates. This has not occurred,
S and the highest bs fE call ca wa r has
borrowings securities at fully per cent
lower. Besides the fact that an advance OF
rates would bring gold from abroad. probably
in large amounts. 1t is -ecognized that the
heavy payments for the new Government bonds
are nearly finished. and that an extremely I'M
favorable bank statement to-day is unlikely.
This has led to covereing of the traders
short sales put out early in the week, and
has probably induced more less repurchas-
ing interests which sold stocks fear OF tight
money, while 1t also, to have led to re-
newed support by cliques and large operators
in their specialtes.
Londons action in our market has been

the renewed political complications in Europe

the decline here there was foreign buying, al
though the money markets abroad were sitter
