Lee Mantle was to have delivered a
lecture on civil Service Reform" but
the serious illness of his mother prevent
ed it. There was an interesting discus
sion on Practical Work for Our Club
and many helpful suggestions were made
by members. The college settlement
work, direct legislation, club settlement.
were among the subjects discussed un-
der that head.
Mr.. A!britton called the attention. of
the club to the Tha anksgiving dinner
which is to be given at the Rescue Home.
AS chairman OF the Social and Domestic
Science department.. Mrs. A. c. Newill
had charge of the programme. DR.. Har-
ris read a clever little skit sent by Mrs.
Vaile regarding the average club wom-
ans paper. The writer thought that
many club women were certain they set
tied any subject they had in hand forever
in the fifteen minutes allotted them.
Whereas their essays were simply NINA
ture encyclopedias. Somebody calls her
clever God save the mark! And then she
becomes insupportable. By and by the
woman with real mission comes to the
'front.' Club women should remember
that the best Substitute for wisdom is ST.
lence, and lots of it,
In the discussion of general topics.
Mrs. j. C. Knox spoke of the efforts now
being put forth in Cuba for a permanent
government. Mrs. Newill spoke of the
Porto Ricans. Miss Pettibone interested
the club by a description of an electric
car line in Chicago, founded by prornl-
nent woman every employe of which is q
woman. The line is very popular too.
Mrs. Charles w. Paine in speaking of

w X. Vanderbilt is having woman
architect. Elsie Mersey of Pittsburg, re-
model the first floor of his house SO as
to put in an automobile room. Miss c. l..
TURNKEY spoke eloquently of the recent
Colorado horror the burning of the ne
gro, Porter. Miss Slemnlons alluded to
the recent dismissal of Professor Ross,
who had the chair of social economics at
Stamford. She was a student there and
thought he offended Mrs. Stamford by
his opposition to Japanese and Chinese
immig,a ton, Leland Stamford, her hus-
band having always encouraged such
immigration am hired such labor.
Quite a discussion ensued, many think
ing that hts We'll known socialistic ten
denotes had something to do with it. Miss
TURNKEY struck a key note to which
many responded when she went into the
subject of the founding and endoWing of
colleges and institutions by rich men
and trusts She thought it was men
ace to the young who were reached
ton, that president being the instrument
ton that prsident being the instrument
of the multi-millionaire, or practically
trust. Young men so educated were
easier 20 control.
Mrs. Maud Flavin being out of the
city her vocal solo could not be given
and no one had her place on the pro-
Eram Dr. Sara s. Harris read an inter-
esting paper on "Club Women and Wage
Earners.' making it applicable to the Wo-
mems Club and to Butte wage earners.
DR.. Harris started with the assertion
that the employment of women in the
various departments of labor was one of
the most interesting as we'll as import

mills and shoe binding, almost all to-

From this era she took UP the period of
the civil war.
.Afte rthe civil war the conditions
were vastly changed A million men
lost their lives or were SO disabled as
to be incapacitated to support them
selves The south suffered more than
any other section. and many women
were left se1f-dependent. 1t was new
thing to see white women in the south
ern states start out to seek work in
avenues that had been previously closed
to women. They could take no domestic
service, because such places We're mo-
nopolized by negroes who had been
brought up to that sort of work. Prob
