ticularly active in practical social work
Reports of their various meetings make
little mention of papers Of Rome,s sys-
tenn Of sewerage and the custom of the
Aztecs, but frequent mention is made Of
organized effort toward the betterment Of
conditions of their fellow men and
women. Southern women ARE taking
particularly keen interest in the pro-

will cost, If erected, $4,000.

the example of the Thursday club and
