The subject is one that has vexed every

EVOLUTION OF THE woMAN's CLUB.

1t is five or six years since the woman's club
at the very zenith Of its glory. 1t was city
institution. 1t the fad, fashion, of the day.
The club woman Of she present is not the same
as the club woman Of five years ago. There is a
vast difference between the two women, and it mast
be said the change is greatly for the better.
Then the year books revealed the most compl-
Gated course of study. Nothing too deep or too
broad for them to attempt, and before these cir
cles wherefrom wisdom was distributed the different
papers read were waded through with but little re-
gard to the fitness of the subject to the woman who
wrote the paper
Remember then it was the proper thing-the
fad-to be a club woman, and although some of
them might not have known the difference between
Venus de Milo and Nine. de Stael, thought that
Scott's Emulsion was much better than his 'Ivan-
hoe" they managed to keep up with the procession
and imbibed culture by the yard.
If these women went through second year and
had a subject given to work up through the summer
vacation, the thought of it hung over their heads
like nightmare and the article was only written
when it could be put off no longer
A third year saw this type of club woman back
in her home, where she gladly resumed the place in
which her domestic abilities made her more of a
success than she could ever be in literary way
This is changed now almost completely.
Clubs still flourish and they are not confined to
the larger cities But the membership now in
cludes as Il whole, only those women who love
knowledge for knowledge's sake, who don't care
how culture as long as they get enough of it,
and who take their papers seriously and put into
them their very best intellectual efforts.
To this kind of a woman club is not stepping
stone to society. 1t is body to which she brings
as much good she receives, and that is saying a
great deal, for the conscientious club woman the
one who feels that the writing of paper entails
thought and care and time, is a valuable member Of
the particular circle and brings into it just much
she gets out
1t has been the custom to laugh and sneer at
club women, to make them the subject of funny re-
marks and funner pictures but to their energy Cal
be laid of the most notable municipal reforms
and no woman can be prompt regular attendant
at the meetings of her club and not be materially
bettered by it.
Long live the womans club, and may thei
numbers increase.

A HERO IN RAGS.

there would be a great disaster Without consider
ing his danger he eaped fearessly on the track

But if you can't see the pathos of it why tell
more or picture the grief of the little Mexican hut?
And if your heart is big enough to understand
that God hath made of one blood all the nations of
the earth, then you can take off your hat to the
bloody bundle of rags by the side of the track and
understand that under the cut and mangled bronze
