Iand of WOMEN. CInbs.

American woman's genius for
IL" organization draws a tribute Of
admiration from the London Mail,
Mr.. Harmsworth's paper. That
admirer Of Yankee institutions
has this to say about women's clubs:
TN that astonishing country. America,
there Is perhaps nothing more astonishing
than the women's club movement, its
growth and development, and the number
OF women's clubs now in existence. To take
the single state Of California the Federation
OF women's Clubs. which Is affiliated with
all the other states, includes the enormous
number of 1000 clubsl In the eastern states
there are but few mems clubs compared
with the number in this country, but in
any state in the union there are more
women's clubs than there are mems clubs
in the whole of England, excluding London.
This movement is a comparatively re-
cent one in the state. because although a
few societies date as far back as 1865. the
vast majority have come into being within
the last twenty years. The majority Of
these clubs have very different aims and OBJ
jects from those usually associated with
the word club in this country. 1t is true
that there are a few clubs. mostly in New
York and Boston, where raison d'etre is APP
proximately the same as those on this side
OF the water, but the basic idea of the
women's clubs in the United States is sup
posed to be the emancipation of what has
been caIled-perhaps ironically-the softer
sex. The phrase-supposed to be-is In
tended to indicate that In most of the clubs
the basic idea is rather apt to be over
looked--shall we say3-or buried under an
avalanche of other ideas.
Although the collective fundamental
idea Of these clubs be the emancipation of
the female sex their ostensible aims and OBJ
jects vary almost as much as the characters
of the women who compose them.
1T may be supposed that only the
Weather women are members Of these
clubs; but social conditions being so very
different, American women-even OF the
lower middle class-are able to devote a
good deal OF time to their clubs. The Gus
tom OF living in apartments and buying all
food ready cooked gives the wives of the
better class artisans, clerks. shopmen. etc,
plenty OF spare time, and many American
women being devoured by an ambition to
get into society Joining a club appears the
easiest method of gratifying it.
1.-THE buildings of the richest of these
clubs will compare favorably with any of
our best mems clubs in London. They are
luxuriously and sumptuously furnished and
upholstered, and possess-curiously enough
Inverted men servants.
About one-half OF the clubs in their
printed declarations of the aims and objects
of their being include the study, discussion
and analysis of living and dead authors,
Shakespeare and Browning being certainly
the most favored authors. Just lately Mr..
George Bernard Shaws works have been
announced for study and discussion in one
New York club. He has not yet crossed
the Rockies

In the case of a room heavily shaded by
veranda or trees, as much light as possible
must be introduced to the apartment. The
draperies take on a particularly airy
character. The valance may be piped and
rod-hung, as in the arrangement sketched,
and the side curtains are narrow, cut on

of the window. Between the side curtains

Your quiet women are the women

arrogant, self-asserting among them.
make the air hot with their voices,
and trouble the world with their
superabundant activities. But this
cannot be called real strength; it is
more generally sham and a show
which breaks down under the pressure
Of personal and private trial; while the
true power of those who, as wives,
influence the present, and, as mothers,
mold the future, lies hidden from the
public, all the more valuable because
Of it's reserve. The perfume of the
violet steals out from the dense
thicket where it lies hidden, while
the sunflower turns the glare of it's
disc full to the gaze of all passers-by,
scentless and Correspondent to all,
and without mystery or sweetness for
any.-EX.

NO WALKS, NO MAILS

Last fall au effort was made by
Postmaster Cleary to have the free
delivery limits extended SO as to take
In a great many patrons in the out
lying portions of the city, who are not
now enjoying the benefits of the free
delivery system. The effort failed be-
cause there we're few or NJ sidewalks
In the territory sought to be excluded
1t appears that there Is an inflexibIe
rule of the postal department which
prohibits the extension of the system
to any portion of the city where walks
are not built. Just why the former
council did not order sidewalks built
at the time is not known, but it is
presumed that it was largely on &C
count of the lateness of the season.
The News Item respectfully calls at
tention to the new council to this
matter and suggests that the proper
committee be instructed to confer
with the local postal officials, ascer-
tain where walks are needed, and have
the council order them built.
Amigos experience may be ours if
the city council don't take steps I'd
provide such streets as will want free
mail service to have the question of
walks attended to. The above item
taken from the News Item at Amigo,
explains itself. Let us prepare for Che
service now so as not to delay the
the installing of free mail service in
this city. -.-.-.y.. /

Chaneeable Weather Causes Disease.
Breathe Hyomei and Cure Catarrh.
The changeable weather of Spring,
with its warm days and cold nights,
is responsible for great increase in
the number of cases of catarrh. 1t is
now that Hyomei, the only guaranteed
treatment for catarrh that cures
without stomach dosing, should be
used In every home.
Hyomei is scientific method by
which pure air impregnated with
Natures own remedies for the cure of
catarrh, can be inhaled by every
sufferer in his or her home. Breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
GENES with every outfit. it's healing,
volatile. antiseptic fragrance reaches
the lungs and air passages, as no
stomach dosing possibly can do. It
gives immediate relief and makes
lasting cures.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment
will do all that is claimed for it is
found In the guarantee under
which John E. Daily sells it, an
agreement to pay back the price, If
the purchaser can say that Hyomei
has not given satisfaction. Complete

WORTH READING +.
ABOUT AT LEAST

We found aSunday school connected
with the St. Luke's Methodist
Episcopal church in Long Branch,
that is worth reading about, and its
methods may be copied to advantage.
1t has membership of about 100.
They have a fine modern Sunday
school room, where classes can be shut
off by themselves, and not be disturbed
by their neighbors. Thus the
physical advantages are in their favor.
One of the attractive features is an
orchestra of about thirty boys. 1t is
trained by one of the men of the
church, who does it for the love he
has for both music and the church.
He takes boys. some of whom have
never touched an instrument, and
soon has them playing well enough to
take their place In the company. We
specially noted a young fellow of about
sixteen years, handling the bass ,yiol.
He did it we'll, and yet three months
before did not know one. thing about
it, and could not read a note. They
play the regular Sunday school music
and lead the service Of soDg. Il was
inspiring to hear them sing.
The superintendent is wide awake
man. He keeps his hand on the
entire management. and knows what
is to take place, and when. He has a
training class in session while the
school is, who are studying a week in
advance, and from this company he
draws his supply teachers. They are
very willing servants.
When the time comes to dismiss
the school, the Primary Junior and
intermediate departments go out in
succession while the orchestra plays
an appropriate march. This is done
with the same exactness that it is in
the public school, and avoids what is
often grand rush on the part Of the
departing crowd.
There is one feature that is worthy
of special mention, and we wonder
where it can be duplicated. Every
official member Of the church, without
exception, is either an officer, teacher
or scholar in The school. There was
one person while ago who was not,
but he died, thus leaving this large
body OF officials all in active relation
to the Sunday school. This is as it
should be,
