CLUB NOTES FOR FEBRUARY.

(By Mrs. B. V. Cushmon.)
 'Woman-citizen, the latest and most ominous word to proceed out of the mouth of club women, is arousing considerable unnecessary alarm among the folk who regard woman suffrage as the worst form of anarchy. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette invokes the die tionary and the constitution of the United States to quiet their fears and proves by the high authorities that it is perfectly good form for every mothers daughter, living loyalty under the flag to style herself as a woman citizen"
 She quotes Webster's definition of citizen: Any native born or natural iZed person of either sex, who is en- titled to protection in the exercise and enjoyment of the so-called personal rights" Furthermore the constitution declares Al persons born or natural ized in the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens thereof" If any timid sister is in doubt about being a citizen she can clear the matter up by declining to pay her taxes. Jurisdiction will fol- low in due time. When we turn the crumbling leaves of a copy of the Ladies Companion and Mirror of 1894 and read the tales of tears and hys- teria among the females" of that period, we say, "Woman-citizen" just
