q CLUB wOMEN's WORK
 FOR COMING SEASON.
 The interest Of Montgomery club wo- men in their work does not diminish and for the coming season is specially attractive. Prospectus for the coming season have been gotten up by the i've organizations working on educatiopal, literary, philanthropic. and charitable lines.
 In all these clubs the social side. though delightful to the members, is . rich issue, and to earnest purposes asfs the way with women's clubs Will their ,enorts and study be directed. It is a singular fact that while mems riubs are usually devoted to pleasure and relaxation, women's clubs, with the exception of the card clubs are on sdesds of kindness and instruction bent. THere are several mems literary clubs sn Montgomery and t Is said that deep ,.--aamest fathomless papers are features of their meetings, but # ever 1t comes one of your neighbors turn to entertain this august body and you are unprincipled enough to peep through tho ,bltnds while the gentlemen aFe igathered about the festive board, after tho paper is read, you vii! discover !ne real reason d. etre of the masculine c1rib And 1t Is not the conversation either, for men as a rule do not care for conversation excepting on tFads or politics. They don't talk scandle much in punches, and they are not given 70 spending their energies in solving iife's upsolvabie problems as Is woman's wont. So while the same number of women gathered together would talk! talkl rattiel tattle all at once, none listening, each interrupting the others. none listening; all, however, having q good time expressing her views, the men who are timed creatures would all be silent save one who would be making a duty remark, at the c0nclu- sion of which the others disconcertediy swallowing their Adams apple as well Rs the delicious viands would each be hoping some one else would take her turn and venture a remark to fill In the gap On such an occasion the villain ous peeper blushed in the dark for the embarrassed men. There were twelve of them, and during the dinner only ten remarks were made. Two of the party only contributed sickly smile to the brilliant (?a conversation of the evening.
 The average man speaks when he has something to say-or thinks he has.
 The average woman makes talk and 80 fixed is the habit that she enjoys the making of 1t. And then there is the sometimes insane giggle, giggle, giggle, that helps out 2 dining when women are the guests This fills in many a space that might otherwise be a vacum.If man ever makes a remark at a mans library club dining because he wants to, he just axerts his brain power to such extent when he has to. At a dining where there are both men and women he has the incen- tive of making an impression on the ladies and that spurs him on to noble efforts. No man hopes to make an im- pression on another. Knowing him. self, he realizes the impossibility.
 Going back to Women's Clubs:
 The prospectus of the No Name Club for the season 1so4-1905 shows In part a contemplated study of cur rent history in the Far East and Af- rica and in part two studies in the will be held on November 2. when Mrs. Dames Anderson the president will de- liver an address, Mrs. Forbes Liddell and Mrs. Alex Garland will furnish hvacation Echoes" and Mrs. W. A. Gayle will render some music num- bers.

 The plan of study of the Tintagil for 1so4-1905 is to be on Opera" and
 current events and current litera- ture." The first meeting will be held on November ', and it will be devoted 10 Italian opera. All during the sea- son there will be two meetings devo- ted to German, French or Italian Op- era followed by one devoted to "cur- rents events and current literature. !" This is a most excellent course asswe are apI to allow ourselves to be ignor- ant of important events of the present while studying the great things that come to us from out of the past. His tory is being made these days" as is machinery and electricity and 1t be- hooves us to be watching the rapidly moving panorama. That the young women who compose the membership of the Tintagii should take up the stu dy' of music and musicians is an evil dence of the steadily growing inter- est here in the best music. A person uoes not necessarily need to be a musician to feel the need of an educa- : tion on the history of music or musi- cians. It would be a sad thing if no one felt the need of the education concerning Shakespeare save those
