My visit to her had started me once moro
investigating. 1 had always heard and al
ways believed that c~lubwomen's children
| were neglected and ~!ll-behaved, and I had
found one case where directly the opposite
prevailed.
I had become so interested in this phase
of the club question that I was fast allow
ing my interest in It to absorb me entirely
to the detriment of everything else. I put
on my thinking cap and went over all the
clubwomen / knew. trying to think
which ones had any children. I finally re-
membered a woman who was very promi-
nent In club work, and hastened to call on
her.
I found her at home and busy. es she
explained to me. experimenting a luncheon
she was preparing to follow a club meeting

I can call again."
Indeed. you are not" she replied. "and
II you care to remain I should be delighted
TO give you a peep at this meeting and to
enlist your help as attendant at the lunch
con afterwards"
OF course, I consented. She took me up
stairs into the back room, and then, guild
ing me through a closet. she bade me peep
through the portieres. I peeped, fully pre-
pared to see 4 body Of clubwomen in ses-
sion. What I saw was this:

I wanted to take her into the bathroom ana
tub her. I wanted to make her as clean and
well cared for as those model children I had
already seen.
And then I wondered whether she would
thank me for my solicitude on her behalf
and whether She was not Just as happy IN
her fanny condition-aye, even happier
than Mrs. Free Silver's immaculate five
and the little club members at whose
luncheon I had assisted.
I havs studied the question Of club
women's children very closely sinos
I first started out to satisfy myself a. t.
their actual condition. and I have found
hat In nine cases out of ten they are wen
cared for. well behaved and beautifully
trained.
I have been told that the club trainine
which their mothers receive has helped
them in the upbrinsing OF their children.
Whether the children really have aria
mentary law applied to them. and II they
are any the happier for II, is what I have
not yet decided to my satisfaction.
I nave found husbands happy, contsnto0
and commanding respect, as a rule: chill

am disposed to predict that all the OLD
myths about clubwomen are rapidly being
dispelled.
