The Change in Mems Clubs.

Mems clubs do not seem to be the OBJ
jects of animadversion that they once
were. At least they do not appear in
that role so persistently in the public
print. There was time not so very
long ago, when the air seemed to be
full of feminine lamentations, and the
burden of this cutlery was the mans
club.
There is no such chorus now, and for
the explanation thereof one has not far
to look. 1t is largely because, during
recent years, men and women have
been finding larger and more frequent
bits of common ground in their amuse-
ments. 1t is not enough that they
should live, love, suffer and die to-
gether. The world will be full of JAM
giles so long as men and women do not
laugh together. That, happily, is what
they are learning to do. OF course
there is tendency to go to extremes.
Take weight out of a balance and it
goes up with a bound before it settles
into equilibrium. The weight of old
time restrictions has been removed
from the lives of women, and the new
balance has not yet been reached. They
are on the rebound now, and they show
it in nothing so much as in their
amusements. Maybe the spirit of cam
araderie with men has been carried toe
far, but no one can deny that it exists
One of the proofs is this very dying
out of the cry against mems clubs
and the arising of a new wall in its
place. This latest lamentation comes
| from the clubs themselves. 1t seem s
! that good many of them are having a
| tolerably hard time to keep going, and
that the managers are put to their wits
end to devise attractions which will
draw the members to the club, Ever
the restaurants of some of the clubs
! have become solemn and funeral places,
where few habitues sit in oppressive
and silent grandeur, except when 8
special feast is provided with "distin-
guished guests" Meanwhile the list of
cheerful table d'hote places has grown
amazing, and men who twenty years
ago would have patronized club, be-
cause it meant good fellowship and
good cheer, may now be seen gossiping
gayly with their wives across some ia
BILE in bohemia And finally, another
straw to show the way the wind blows
is the unbending of the clubs toward
women. Several have opened ladies'
annex; others have inaugurated fire.
quent ladies' days; while one of them,
and large political club at that, has

BROADYIEW.

BRoADvIEw, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Elvira
Thurman, aged ~ years, died at her
home near this place last Friday morn
lug at 2 O'Clock. The funeral services
were conducted by Elder A. S. Derry
berry at Bethel church Saturday, and
the burial was in Gibsonville Gene
terry. She had been sick with pneumo-
MIA about ten days, when death came
to release her from her sufferings.
Everything was done for her during
her sickness that a skillful physician,
loving children and kind friends could
do. All of her seven children were
with her during her sickness and death,
except Mrs. Lena Hawkins, of Mldlo-
THAN, Texas. Her little boy being Sc
riously i'll, it was impossible for her to
come. We extend our deepest sympa-
thy to the bereaved children. They
have indeed lost a TREND whose place
can never be filled. Mrs. Thurman was
an atfectionate mother and a good
neighbor. She obeyed the Gospel at
the age of % years and united herself
with the Christian church, and there
lived a true christian life.
We are glad to report Mr.. Joe Mat
