 The women's Educational and Indus- trial Union. of Boston. is about to follow the example set by Chicago women in regard to rest rooms for tired shoppers. The activities of this set of women will be directed to making some downtown place comfortable for women worn from any cause. The union. which Is a model tn its especial work. conducts classes in bonnet binding and other pursuits distinctly feminine. Its class rooms are always well filled, and during the summer months just closed the pres sure for instruction was so great that they were kept open through the hot weeks.
 Miss Helen M. winslow. who last spring was made state regent of the D. A. R.. of Massachusetts. is already mak- ing herself felt.

 No woman's club in this country prob ably has accomplished more practical work than the womans Board of Trade, of Santa Fe. New Mexico. Started at the time of the Columbian Exposition. it has since establised free library and read ing room. maintained visiting and re- lief committee. which looks after stran- gers and gives them hearty welcome. This is great boon in a city to which so many victims of tuberculosis bend their steps annually. They have carried on a work for the prevention of cruelty to animals and brought about many needed civic improvements.
 The most important work along the last named line has been the restoration and beautifying of the plaza, which throughout Mexico and New Mexico is always the center of the town. The plaza of Santa Fe is of special historic inter est, many salient events in the history of the city having occurred there The board Is entitled to no public funds. but because of its efficiency and wise admin prises it's members meet no difficulty In raising money for its work.

 As soon as New York club women come together In the autumn the labor problem as 1t relates to women and chill dren will engage their attention. This activity will result from the summer work of the committee appointed by the general federation at Milwaukee. of which Mrs. Florence Kelley Is chairman The committee has been in correspond ence with club presidents and secretaries, presenting the subject to them from va rious points of view. Among other things the committed states:
 It As the object of this committee to bring to the attention of the clubs some of the ways in which the industrial prob lem affects women and children. and sone of the ways In which we may af- fect@t the industrial problem. It is be lieved the vast power of intelligent wo- men to contribute toward peaceful and beneficent solution Is not generally appre- ciated
 The industrial problem as 1t affects women and children was never so com plicated as at present. The very exist ence of the General Federation or Wo- mems Clubs, and of the clubs which form 1t. Is due to the fact that the in- dustries have gone out from the homes of the prosperous. leaving to the women !n such homes leisure for study, recrea- ton and travel.
