The club women of this city have
plan on foot for the establishment of a
woman's club, house that will be home
for the various wemen's clubs of ST
Paul. The Woman's Civic league have
taken the initiative in the matter, and
yesterday a communication from them
was received by the members of the
Schubert club, asking their cooperation
in the matter. The old Fairchild resi-
dence, opposite the Marlborough, was
suggested asa convenient and suitable
home, and the league requested the Schu-
bert club to discuss the matter in order
that 1t might be ascertained whether the
members of the latter club would con-
slider the residence mentioned a conven-
lent one for their rehearsais, studio
! teas etc.
The matter was discussed at some
| length at yesterdays meeting, but it
seemed to be the general consensus of
! opinion that the locality mentioned would
not be SO convenient as one further down
town However, it is probable that the
other club women in the city or a ma
Jorlty of them, may vote fayorably upoD
the plan. Should this plan of nnion
