The subject under consideration was
Goethe in connection with German
philosophy. The committee corre'

asking them for speech to be used in
the discussion. The discussion was
preceded by the "Jswel Song from

report OF this meeting is from the Wo'
mans Weekly:
Miss Louise Kellogg has sung fire..
quently before Omaha audiences, but
never to so good an advantage as upon
last Monday afternoon, when she sang
the Jewell Song" from Faust, before
the Omaha Woman's club. Miss kel-

Designing men, through alluring and cum

endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them ito write

best sympathy is to be had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object Of the sick is to get we'll.
and however precious sympathy may be, il
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy Of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more SO, than sym.
pathy from a stranger, yet 1t can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman.
1t is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
wornan's ailments" and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman"
and get the benefit Of a woman's advice.
Thu sort of understanding of her ailments
wanted by a sick woman is a trained medi.
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments not as a uoman, but as q
Phys1ci1n. If she is not a doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
