The reaction has howavcr set in; all over the country women are establishing their clubs in pernnanent homes, and New York is one of Inc few large cities that does not contain woman's clubhouse. Even in that city the home idea is taking root. sev- eral clubs have established permanen, homes, and on July 18th the opening of the Cosmopolitan Home Club. added an other to the list. The idea of this club originated in the mind of Mrs. Richard Henry Savage, and 1t is due to her un- tiring and selfish efforts that 1t has be- come an established fact.
