The Woman's Club of Jersey City with
the other clubs of the State Federation

inspector in New Jersey. AT the time
the agitation for woman inspector
came up last May there was no woman
available for the position. The New Jer-
sey Review of Charities and Corrections
for November mentions the names of
Miss Sayles and Miss Dinwiddie, former
workers at Whittier House, and Miss
Thompson, all three of whom have re-
Gently been appointed tenement inspec-
tors in New York. The Review further
states that had the agitation for wo-
rather than in May, it is probable that
it would have borne more fruit"

New York State is going to elect her
Federation president next week, and it
looks as though it was goirg to have as
much fun over it as did New Jersey last
week $
of the Woman's Club will give its an
nual charity euchre in the Jersey City
Club Theatre. Although such an over
wheln,ing crowd as appeared at the first
of these euchres given three years ago,
an unwieldly crowd numbering three hun,
dreo, is not expected. accommodations
are being made for two hundred in case
some extras should turn up at the last
moment. In all probability there win be
between hundred and a hundred and
fifty players, netting the Department
cf,s' hundred dollars, for the benefit of
the Day Nursery.
This year the Philanthropy Depart
ment, while giving the euchre for the
benefit of the Day Nursery, reserves the
right to use the proceeds as it sees fit.

noted the tickets do not read "For the
benefit of the Day Nursery exclusively"
as the Department feels it needs some of
