SO-and-So would be pleased to have me attend
an auction sale at her home giving a number

However. l would like to say that 1 do

ment that by allowing me a seat as

this evening to attend a meeting Of colored
women who are now engaged in establish
ing kindergarten work among our people

work and in other enterprises for good by
such eminent people as Bishop Sessums

present to help us on one would for mo-
ment consider that social equality was
established. Why would not the rule work
the other way when colored woman was
seated as a delegate at meeting of white
women seeking to accomplish some noble
purpose.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

Not a little discussion has been pro
voked OF late by a proposed club for women
to be established in Chicago. It is to be
Of an athletic social nature and its pro-
moters recommend among other special at
fractions bar and smoking room. A spe-
cial effort is being made to interest out-of-
town women In the enterprise, It being
held out that such club will afford ideal
accommodation for nonresident members
during their various shopping trips and
other visits to Chicago during the year
and will be a welcome substitute for a
hotel. The promoters seem immensely
proud OF their enterprise and have em-
phasized in numerous interviews the nov
city and advantage Of the bar and smoking
room, holding them out as unique" new"
daring" and, most surprising Of all, as
desirable" II is interesting to note the
class, Of women that the projectors are en-
deavoring to interest. As. matter Of
fact, there is nothing especially new in
the privileges they offer, though It must be
owned that the project is daring" and it
is safe to say that the majority of women
who would be attracted to membership in
such an organization will not be unfamiliar
with such privileges as 1t affords but will
rather have already acquired a taste for
them. 1t has to be admitted, though, with
shame, that smoking and drinking are by
no means new or uncommon among some
women Of the wealther and leisure class,
though a majority Of them have still the
grace to be ashamed Of their weakness,
but is 1t difficult to understand how women
OF refinement or culture can lend their
sanction to such brazen Haunting OF this
sort of thing by giving such an institution
the moral or financial support Of her mem
bership.

One frequently hears the argument that
It is no worse for women to smoke and
drink than it is for men. So far as the right
and wrong of it is concerned perhaps it is
not, but because a distorted public opinion
admits of men debasing themselves in such
ways, does 1t follow that women should
initiate them in this any more than in
other degrading customs? And that, too,
so long as the purity and higher moral
standards of society are so largely in the
keeping of woman, even though a "One-
sided justice" has made her their guar
dian, have women no responsibility in main
tanning these standards?
