The Worcester Woman's club is to
make a new departure, forced upon it
by the transfer from Memorial hall.
Association hall. where henceforth the
club win hold its regular meetings, is
so large that ushers seem to be ne
cessity, and a system Of ushering Will
soon be inaugurated. Members coming
in late cannot see what seats are emp
ty in front, and SO drop into the rear
seats where they can neither see nor
hear the speakers from the floor, al
though the latter are often making ev-
cry effort to raise their voices, 1t is
much pleasanter for every one con-
cerned to have the club concentrated
in the auditorium, as near as possible
to the platform, and the ushers will
help in bringing this desideratum
about
Then there are the reporters. They
need locking after. If d reporter is al
lowed to meander among the members,
sitting where he likes, staying so long
as he sees fit, and hiding behind
heavyweight when visitors and others
are requested to leave, there is no
knowing what he may not say in his
paper next day. Now, with the sys-
tenn of ushering in force, the ushers
will march the reporters down to the
front row, where the president can
keep her eye on them, and when the
literary part of the meeting is done,
they can easily be stirred up with
stick and ushered out into the cor
ridors, where naughty reporters with
points to their pencils rightfully be-
long.
1t is easy TO see that the office of
usher TO the Woman's club will be no
sinecure.
Friends of Mrs. Charles H. Morgan
are specializing as to whether she will
accept the Office of elective member of
the executive board of the Woman's
club. in place OF Mrs. Zelia E. Harris,
whose resignation was read at the
latest meeting of the club. Mrs. j.. E.
Day was chosen an alternative, in
event Of Mrs. Morgans declining to ac-
cept it. In either case, the club is sure
of an efficient representative.
What TO do with that SIS is a ques-
ton that is troubling the executive
board Of the Worcester Woman's club.
T. Hovey Gage, treasurer of the art
museum, has written the club to say
that Of it's gift to the museum the
above amount has been left over, ask
ing at the same time whether the club

the hands of the trustees Of the muse
UNI to expend on some work Of art2 1t
was voted to leave the matter with the
executive board, which will discuss 1t
and then recommend action TO the
club. 1t will be recalled that the club
appropriated a sum sufficient for the
purchase of the Winged Victory Of
Samothrace and the prov upon which
she stands, with the idea of producing
in the art museum in Worcester an eff
feet similar to that which is produced
in the museum OF fine arts in Boston.
