WOMEN'S CLUBS THRIVE.
Pessimists Say They Are Fad, But
They Go On Increasing "a
Numbers.

The late st edition of the official di-
rectory of the woman's clubs of Chi
cago shows that the pessimists who
say that women's clubs are fad, and
that they die soon after they are Gre
ated because of the members being
extremely tickle in their allegiance to
their clubs, are entirely and totally
wrong, says the Chicago Tribune.
There have been four editions OF
the official directory. The first one
printed, which covered the years 1899
1900, reveals that there were &c clubs
at that time. The next years di-
rectory shows that the number of
clubs had leaped to 112. Then the
pessimist would naturally expect that
the directory of the following year
would indicate a slump back to some
thing like the number of clubs given
in the first directory. But the book
for the year 19O1-1902 reports 81 clubs
in existence, and the new directory
for the year 1902-1903 gives the names
of 95 clubs.
A comparison of the book just is
sued with the one first published
shows that almost all the clubs given
in the first volume are alive and pros
porous. The biggest change was be-
tween the years 1900 and 1901 and 1901
and 1902, when the number of clubs
slumped from 112 to 81. An examina-
ton of the directories of these dates
will show that few of the clubs actual
ly died, but after the phenomenal
Jump from &c to 112 it was found that
many of the clubs could do better by
merging under one name,

style and nothing more. White with a
fine unnoticeabla raised line in self

narrow silk stripe or a satin effect stripe
is now the more exclusive fashion

fronts, ribbed Diauesr and all the en-
broidered effects are still beyond the
pale Of good style As to waistcoat but

style while jeweied designs are the ex-

that Mr. Hakuolc was able o. translate.
There was never any occasion however

own observation, any thng lnceinins
this qualification.
There are "a large number Of Jlpa-
nesc In these Islands and they are com
stnntly in litigation. In one form or
another. a competent japanese inter-
prefer Is therefore, an absolute neces-
sity. The Importance OF the position
Is very great. trust that the legisla-
ture will bear this fact In mind and
not reduce the SALARY Of the japanese
interpreter to such a low figure as
will preclude the possibility OF secur-
ing the competent man that the bust
ness of the courts and the interests OF
he public, demand,
II understand that IL is proposed by
the House to cut the salary to $50 a
month. have always maintained that
the salaries OF officials should be such
as to secure the employment of first
class men. | do not believe that such
an interpreter can be secured for such
a salary. 1t certainly stands to reason
that a man who is first class could not
be secured for such a small amount.I
do not see how Mr.. Doyle could be in
duced to remain for such a salary and
II the court is deprived of first class
man, the business will suffer 1t would
be we'll to bear in mind the fact that
the position not the man, is concerned
in this matter and if the salary is put
down to such figure that competent
man can not be secured, it will be the
position and through it, the public, that
will suffer.
so far as the contention that Doyle
Is not able to translate is concerned. l
will say that I am perfectly willing to
do without the translator if in doing so,
a competent man for Interpreter can be
secured. There is so little work for
translator to do that this work is not
worth reckoning on. | desire to see Mr.
Doyle remain as Japanese interpreter
of the courts for consider him a most
competent and efficient man for the
place"
