We are not, OF necessity, such Marthas
as our grandmothers. The leisure gained
by the elimination # spinning, weaving
and other old time duties has been given
that We may lift the home life to
higher intellectual and moral plane.
The woman's club has, primarily, mn
educational purpose, it stands for some-
thing more than amusement.
In the work OF the year just passed we
have had formulated course OF study
that required concentrated effort. "A
History Of the Nineteenth Century" was
the basis OF our work. About this we
grouped works OF fiction, studies OF great
characters, and other topics bearing
upon the country and time under con.
sideration. We spent an instructive
period with SieD&iewicz and his great
historical novel, Quo Vadis, we had
happy season with the learned "Prince
OF India" we had great day with the
unhappy "Gadhy" aud were both
charmed and instructed with study OF
Tolstoi, the gentle apostle OF peace. Our
temerity eliminated in an afternoon
given over to the consideration OF The
osophy and Spirit Communication.
From this height We quickly dropped to
things more p-osalc and better under
stood. Our club has been school IN
which each member has been both "A
pupil and Il teacher. We have had the
courage to be ignorant of man, things
that We nigh; avoid the calamity OF
being ignorant OF everything. From
this system OF study and our association
with ench other We hope to acquire by
and by. that spiri: OF sweet reasonable
ness and charity that characterizes nll
people OF great soul and wide experience.
1t is prophcsied that the club OF the
future will not be composed entirely OF
women for the highest type OF society
Is made OF both men and women drawn
together by mutual respect, harmonious
tastes, and common interests. Together
in the clubs OF the future they will work
to solve the many problems OF labor,
government and social life TINT today
are cro~ding aside merely aesthetic
topics. They will address themselves to
the great problem of living and from
them will come in great measure a better
standard Of social, intellectual and moral
life.

THE TOWN

The result of the town cleo
ton Monday cannot truthfully
be called a RepublicanvictOry,
as some have tried to put it
up. 1t is only what's httinglv
expressed in the old song:

Politics was not it. The
citizens ticket came out vic
toriOus. 1t IS true, the May
or and one commissioner on
this ticket are Republicans,
but three Democratic COM
misSioners were also elected
as good Democrats as Mr..
Anybody and with as clean
political records as any on
the opposition ticket. 1t was
not a party fight and we have
no idea that the other elections
this year will be effected in
the least by it, without it will
be to strengthen the vote for
the amendment.
