CLUB WOMEN.
Especial to Bystander.) }


Organization and united efforts for
good are the instruments of progress
for women today in elevating human
ity. With the enlightenment Of a
progressive age comes the knowledge
to every true woman, a spirit to work
for humanity, in ameliorating the
condition of Others How deplorable
to see women joining clubs simply to
be known as club woman, with no
other object than to have their names
enrolled, while others try to grasp
every thought explained as the object,
and the meaning of the motto, Lift
ing as we climb" The writer, with
the assistance of number of co-work-
ers, is putting forth every effort to
induce the local clubs to unite for
good in uplifting-to lay aside preju-
dice and petty jealousy, for these
things hinder the progress. When we
look around and see what is so much
needed we should forget self, but
unite and do our best. The woman's
club is blessing to womankind; it
gives an opportunity for her to spend
her leisure hours in this profitable
work. 1t is clearly seen that wo.
mans clubs have accomplished much
good in the mental development Of
woman. When the mind is trained
the hand is also trained. The clubs
are also making better wives and
housekeepers, purer homes; the wo-
man is becoming alive to all inter-
ests which surround her. Much more
in our local clubs could be accom-
plished if they would unite with a
club spirit to progress and not re-
tard. There is the lack of co-opera-
tion. Mrs. Helm so beautifully spoke
at a reception given by one of the
clubs on the home improvement work
in the city of st. Louis and the train:
ing Of the young, and urged co-opera-
ton. Miss Gibson of the same club,
when speaking of the work at any
time, advocates united effort. In the
Gate City here is talent lying dormant
for the want of encouragement. II
many Of US could "see through the
glass clearly and not darkly!"
While the writer is weak instru-
ment in the hands of so many, she
is trying to do all that she can in
helping to train the minds to Ggh-
er plane Of thought by reading good
literature, discussing subjects which
will fit them for many avenues in
life. AS has been above stated, or
ganization and united effort are the
instruments of progress for the wo-
mans clubs. Belle Banister.
