The opening Of the regular club sea-
son an over the country reveals the in
terestlng fact that, while the summer
season Is supposed to furnish no special
actvity to club members, In number
OF places the actual work OF the clubs
by no means ceased with the approach
Of warm weather A paragraph i'm a
Maine paper says "The seats about the
streets Of Lewiston and Auburn are n
comfortable evidence of the work of the
ladies OF the Civic Improvement this
summer" The Williamsburg, Pa, Wo-
mems club did good work towards in
creaslng the drinking facilities in their
town by the establishment of fountains.

dens, backyards and flower boxes, a
work IN which the Era club OF New Or
leans was conspicuous this year, In
P.usburg many clubwomen remained in
town until the closing of the public
Fairgrounds and the vacation schools
and In cities east and west the work OF
the vacation schools was. to a greater

women. The Louisville, Ky, Woman's
club, cooperating with the park COM
mssIoners, maintained six of these play
grounds. The civic committee OF the
