Club Ladies Develop Curious Desire to Steal What They Can Lay

The club epidemic which is sweeping through the world of women has developed some ex- traordinary propensities. The London Gentle woman remarks. When the various clubs for women in London could be counted on the fingers of one hsnd. each with a moderate members list. the fact that petty larcenies here. an umbrella there-was a matter of com paratvely small importance. Now that fash ionahle quarters abound In womsn's clubs. that more than of these clubs rejoices in 8 members list of close upon 1000 women and that another will occupy 6 club house which cnnatns 300 bedrooms. the quality and quan tity If women belonging to them can no longer be regarded as negligible
 IL Is an open secret--altheugh 1t is, of course in the interest of each club to avoid ans open scandal within It's eatss-thst no day passes without the disappearance of articles varying in value from few pence to q few pounds, the loss of which. from the time and manner of their disappearance, can in single in- stance be ascribed to venality of the staT. They adroitly lifted in the ehh and flow Of members and their visitors.
 Tn some clubs so eemplets is the undsTstand- ing that findings are ksspbgs'' that it Is considered inadvisable to leave a tempting sable cape, an engaging nun or a particularly smart umbrella under the envious gaze of communicating eyes.

 All this goes to show that the members Of the Confederate Government were a pretty long lived race of men. Every man who sat at Lincons council table has been dead for years past. but John H.

Several men are or were in the United States Congress who were there during part of the Civil War days, among them being Grow of Pennsylvania. who stepped down from Congress last Wednesday and Allison of Iowa and Stewart of Nevada It will prob ably be found that in proportion to the mum bers in the two bodies there are today more survivors of Davis's than of Lincoln's Con gress.

important and, if possible even pleasant CT than the one in Georgia was For one thing 1t comes in March, the worst month of all the year in most parts of the north. While people of Boston, New York and Chicago shiver in furs and far nels under the visita ton of snow and icy wind, of sleet and blizzard, in fair New Orleans the suffrage lady visitors in white dresses and straw hats are moving about in the sunshine under white parasois, They will tell when they return home how they feasted on strawberries, fresh pine apples and bananas, how they drove through mile after mile of streets whose air was scented with the fragrance of or ange blossoms from trees growing to the right and left of them.
 March is the season of glorious flowers in New Orleans-mag gnolias, roses and lilies The old markets are as interest ing as ever they were. and tourists jour ney to Lake Pontchartrain in the cool of the day or cross the historic lake to the pine wood of St. Tammany's parish. The old creole city is as attractive as ever. To those interested in the advancement of women 1t is more interesting now than 1t ever was. for New Orleans women are making a fine. living impress on civic af- fairs, notably the women of the Era club, some of whose members are promi- nent in the suffrage movement. There is also the Local Council of Women of New Orleans These two have done so much for civic hetterment in the city that al great public meeting in the princi- pal theater of New Orleans two rows of seats were reserved for members of the Fra and the Local Council.

School House to Be Built Tn Kanea&
 City for Teaching Socialism. Kansas City telegram.
 A contract has been made to buy for 4s,00 tract of twelve and ons-haif acres on whieh to build the International School of Social Economy. The school opens the second weak in December. by which time the buildings wtIa, be ready for occupancy.
 The tract is partly on a high bun of lims-l stone and the material for the construction oe ing of the stone has already begun. though the purchaser nominally does not take pcs-l session until May |.
 The proposed building win be only. one eerryg high but will spread out over seven acres oA ground. The first part, which will bs ereoteN this year. will contain fifty rooms. The planw fof the completed building provide for t.ooW rooms. These will have outside dooFs and wln-s dows and will be grouped around\e great cep- tral court. The building will be in the s'ol6 mission" style of architecture, well knoWu imi Southern California. The ground will be grad-l ed into four terraces including in this n,irn., Der the part on the street level, serpantiuo road 50 feet wide will wind through the grounds from the front entrance and up the, easy grades of the terraces. There will ha nol stairways or halls in the building, though stairR will be built at the base of each terrace.
 The building will be constructed by trades union labor exclusively, and t is expected that nearly all the labor will be contributed. AL
  a large part of the masonry work. This item and the amount already assured for students assure the cost of putting up the building.
 The house will be availabIa especially foP Socialist workers and their families. For this class of tenants a price of s2oo a room foF a Aftyyear leasa has been made, and already ten or twelve have been engaged. Two hum dred students are expected in the Fall, and each of them will pay $50 for the term of twelve weeks which VIII pay for the room and board well as tuition. 4 This school is entirely a private enterprise" said the promoter. While it teaches Social ism. 1t in no way attempts to practice it. I {, contend that Socialism cannot be praetioea un- l tl the establishment of the cooperative Com- monwealth. There Is nothing eo-operatiye os sociaiistie in the examination of this school. All the contracts are purely personal business contracts. such as might be made by any landlord. It Is my scheme, though I'm trying by 1t to forward the interests of seciallsm."
