XomeA About to Perfect an organisn- VI tien te Act as Antidote for
 Men's Clubs.
 Holyoke. (Mass.). Special to The New
 York World.
 Club life has aroused Holyoke wo- men to the extent that the Paola So- cial Society will be organized shortly. 2Genbership in the new organization iw1u he confined at its institution to wo- men whose husbands are associated with social organizations generally re- cogntxed as clubs. thereby tending to arregular home attendance.
 The Paola Society will primarily in- n1o1 upon the rights of wives among them being given liberty to absent themselves from home at pleasure and the adoption of rules and regulations governing their house duties in lines Of labor unions of the better class and Nfmilar organizations.
 xhe two purposes in mind. the pro- motors gay, are not to much to abolish club lffe but to impress husbands with . stronger fondness for home ties and to minimizs at the same time the labor Of housokeepers. There is no feeling exDressed against clubs as such. AS nnGtter of fact the promoters of the Paola Society recommend them for so- cial purposes among men as being far preferable to other places where hus- bands are apt to congregate; but as In eating and drinking. 1t is argued that club attendance can be carried to the extreme of intemperance, also to the neglect of obligationstimposed by mar ttal bonds
 The Paola Society will be instituted with charter list of fifty members, If lthA present plans be carried out. and immediately the campaign along the lines referred to now and again as the Eemancipation of women, but far differ ,eut fin plan will be safeguarded. 1 An important rule will be that mem Ybers must insist upon regular hours for employment. husbands to conduct themselves accordingly Men will be permitted to designate tthe hours meals Aare desired, but there must be no devil ation from this. Housekeepers will therefore feel at liberty to enjoy the privilege of few hours leisure daily and not be subjected continually to the whims of husbands
 Another bylaw will insist in recog- milton of husbands rights, that regu- liar lessons be taken infcooking. so that, If a member herself he not obliged to perform manual labor lin the household sshe can at least direct1the servants in- lteIligentiy.
 Club life has grownAto a remarkable extent in Western Massachusetts, Holy
  Many local residents are affiliated with Isuccessful clubs in Springfield as active members and as out-m-town members with similar organizations in New York Iand Boston. The home life is also in lanother sense club which ought to be equally successful anA receive similar attention.
 If isn't to the exclusion of any club that the members of lthe Paola Society will call attention to these matters at their regular meetings, but to impress upon husbands ties which they assert ought to be equal in consideration with those of outside social or business life. iThe enrollment of the Paola Society will not be confined exclusively to Ho- Iyoke in fact 1t Is the Intention of the promoters to invite honorary member ship from Northamptons South Hadley and other neighboring ' places of im- portance.
