And they seemed to be quite an important and delightful part of the club house. The secretary said that the ten- dency among womens clubs in London was to have their apartments really too luxurious and that the Pioneer had en- deavored to have rooms cozy and entirely for use, and not to care if the carpets did have few spots of ink on them. I couldn't help thinking how delighted our own club members would be if we had club rooms furnished half so well
 The secretary very kindly gave me the bylaws and syllabus, and other printed matter of the club, which, of course, takes time to investigate. But I am quite sure we would all like to attend the evening's debate. opened by Madame Sarah Grand. one of the most enthusiastic members. upon the subject: "On Chiffons. and the Progress of the World"

As a member, I want to urge my fellow members to go forward in the noble work they have undertaken under the able guid- ance of our president in the early closing movement for the relief of the clerks, and will say for the relief of our merchants as well. for would you believe it that in the south we work harder than any set of peo-

 The club occupies the entire building and l had three. yes, four, flights of stairs to climb before I saw all the building.
 The entrance hall was most inviting and near the door sat a tidy-looking maid who is ever ready to receive all visitors. On
 the ground floor was the cafe and charm ing place, with the library in the rear; up the first flight was the large drawing room and parlor adjoining, with the secretary's office, a dear, cozy. little, busness-like place, adjoining the parlor l noticed par ticularly the notices painted on the three large doors, and Lady Hamilton in show ing me the presidents picture-the late Mrs. ssingberd-remarked that she loved notices. The first one was "In great things unity; in small things liberty; in all things, charity" Now is that not splendid motto? The next one leave the club members to figure out, for I really have not the time. It was: "They say, what say they? Let them say!" But we can all understand and appreciate the last one-"Love self lastr' By the  president since the first one; it is their method of showing respect to the founder and organizer of the club. In the drawing room was a large and beautifully colored oil painting symbolical of the birth of the "New Woman" It represented the figure of a woman enveloped in clouds with a smaller figure of a woman just above, also in clouds, and so far as I could judge in sun burst of glory; but I couldn't see that she was any improvement upon the "old' woman, and Lady Hamilton remark ed that she didn't like it that the figure of the new woman looked as if she were fall ing down. The furniture had covers which bore the initials "P.

DEwEY'S RECEPTION
The Admiral Will be Highly Honored
 on Arrival at Washington

Washington, September 5.-The arrange ments for the reception of Admiral Dewey in this city are rapidly assuming shape and from the programme even in its present : incomplete condition the celebration will be one of the most noteworthy that has ever occurred in Washington. The ad- miral's reception here will be largely in the nature of an official function as its central feature will be the presentation of the magnificent sword voted him by con- gress The celebration will take place on the night of October 2 or 3. There will be an imposing parade at night in which all the available naval and military forces of the United States, the district national guard, military bodies from states through out the Union and many organized civil bodies will participate.
 There will be a general illumination of the city and the procession will be reviewed by President Mckinley and Admiral Dewey.
 The governors of all the states and ter ritories have been invited to be present. The presentation of the sword will take place upon a stand erected at the east front of the capitol and it is believed that the admiral home, which will be purchased by popular subscription, will be formally presented to him at the same time.

PAUL PRY WRITES
 OF LONDON CLUBS Some 0t the Notable Women in
 Club Life Abroad. A FIVE O'CLOCK TEA At Mrs. Chants Town House-Social and Practical Advantages Which
 the English Club Wo-
 man Enjoys.
FIVE O'CLOCK TEA

London, August 22.-(Special Correspond ence.)-Generally speaking, find that the womens clubs are only four, five and six years old in London. great many of them have been organized for social and literary purposes merely, and like the mems clubs, they own most sumptuous apartments. Such a club is the Empress club" which 1 visited. The secretary, who by the way is man. very kindly showed me through the rooms, which are luxu- riously furnished The club numbers among it's members many of the most notable people of London and women of rank Next to their present abode they are building new quarters, where they will no doubt be even more luxuriously housed.
 The "Alexandra," which has over thous- and members, and the "Grosvenor Crescent club" of which Mrs. Phillips is president, are organized more for social purposes also But the Pioneer club" as it's name implies, was organized for practical pur- poses as well as social enjoyment, so that I took more interest in the details of it's organization. Like our own clubs at home the clubs of London discontinue en- tirely their regular club work during the
The age-herald., 1899-09-06

ioy the advantages of membership The membership card of the Pioneer was large, something like our membership certificate to the General Federation-quite nice to frame and hang on the wall of ones own boudoir On the wall of the Pioneer club hung the membership card of Mrs. Ellen Henrotin, which the secretary showed me with evident pride. In fact, the Pioneer is very desirous of obtaining American members.
 By the way, must tell you of my meet ing with one of London's most earnest workers-Mrs. Ormiston Chant well known on both sides of the Atlantic as a pro- gressive and earnest worker for the good of mankind. After a very pleasant call, I enjoyed that most delightful Of all Eng fish customs-the five o'clock tea. Socially, 1t is charming. The guest is thus taken right Into the home life and in the most informal manner is graciously waited upon by the young daughters of the household, while the hostess chatters away and makes you feel so welcome that you forget en- tirely that you are a stranger in strange land. Then Mrs Chant who is very fond of Americans, by whom she has so often been delightfully."- entertained, invited us to spend an evening with her, which she most gra aciously called 'an American even- ing" There were present other American friends and several English friends, all very charming and entertaining people, but I was most charmed by Mrs. Chant and her three charming daughters. May Wright Sewall at one time spent month with Mrs. Chant and playfully nicknamed the youngest daughter, about fourteen, "Prince Charlie" The name suited her wonderfully we'll and so all the family nv call her Prince Charlie Mrs. Chant, as we'll as her daughters, are musical, and they entertained us most delightfully."- with music and recitations. Mrs Chant, who is one of the most accomplished and ver- satile women I have ever met, in fact, seems able to do everything, has written a number of songs which she calls faction songs," which are wonderfully original and captivating. One was the Sea Gulrs Song" another the Autumn Wind," which the young ladies sang and acted, but Prince Charlie" was so busy flirting with young America that for the life of her she couldn't whistle where the autumn wind grew shrillest. Then Mrs Chant sang '"The Star Spangled Banner" and

pie on the globe? Why. here in London, where you would think they would work twenty-four hours day rather than miss a few good American dollars. they leisure ly saunter down to the shops not minute before 10 a. m., and by o'clock every store is closed and on Saturday they close promptly at 1 D. m., and every one goes out to his country home and has afternoon tea and enjoys life. But poor old Birming- ham people just work and work their dear selves to death. Just picture to yourself a merchants countenance if you asked him to close at 1 D. m. on Saturdays? So club members continue to battle for the early closing hour for the merchants" of Bir- mingham as well as for their patient and long-suffering clerks. Our men work too many hours a day, but it Is so hard to make them believe it! notice in my latest home paper that the Woman's exchange had decided to have lunch rooms in con- nection with the exchange h would be simply delightful if the exchange could be in the same building with the club especi- ally as the exchange Is under the auspices of the club. I think we have cached the point where we need our own lunch rooms in the club and out-of-town members would no doubt find it a delightful conven- ience Then. too, the idea of having few cozy bedrooms is a capital one, where club members can entertain visitors. and where visiting women may find agreeable accommodations. Lady Hamilton said 1t was quite a source of income. In short, the woman's club has made a noble and splendid beginning and has filled need and answered purpose in Birmingham which would have been filled by no other club with less democratic ideas or less broad and lofty aspirations. But there is much yet for it to do and If 1t must go forward and forward until it meets the needs and requirements of the Birming- ham women, socially and professionally, no matter In what business she may be en- gagged.
 That is capital idea, too, of having out-of-town members who pay about one- half of the regular dues. I've no doubt there are any number of men in Alabama who often visit Birmingham and who in the years to come would thoroughly en-

Washington, September 5.-The indus trial commission reconvened today, but heard no witnesses The commission de- cided to authorize the attendance of Pro- lessor Jenks and one member of each of Its sub-committees at the trust conference of the federation, to be held in Chicago beginning on the 18th This decision was reached by the adoption of a resolution which also amounted to instructions to the delegates.
