Clubs for Women.

Berlin Cor. New York Sun
Germany will never be a country of clubs
IN the English and American acceptation
of the term, and 1t is small wonder that
German women have been among the last
to establish clubs for themselves
To American women belongs the distinc-
ton of having established the first woman's
club in Germany, in 1895. This club was
organized for the purpose of beneftlng girl
students by opening to them house where
they could hear their own language, have
access TO American books, newspapers and
maya zines, and above all receive advice and
sympathy to help them along the unfamiliar
ways of life in foreign city.
From a very modest beginning the Amerf-
can woman's club has grown to be one of
the most important organizations OF It's
kind on the continent.
Although possessed of no great capital.
the organization is self-supporting. any
deficit being made up by a bazaar or enter
tainment In the winter q reception Is
given once a month and musicales or lee
lures are frequently held. The club owes
much of its literary activity to the EFFORTS
of Mrs. Andrew D. White, wife Of the for
mer ambassador to Germany. who during
her residence in Berlin was president OF
the organization. The present president Is
Mrs. Charlemagne Tower, wife OF the am
DdSS2QOT, anu the VICE pitSideHi -
Frank H Mason. wife of the United States
consul general.
The membership as whole Is variable,
but averages between 400 and 500 year.
The fees are 10 marks and marks, the last
for students. Glasses in German and
French, open to members. are 80 pfennigs
a lesson charge of 90 pfennigs for
guest to the reception is made this idea
having been borrowed from the practical
German.
Three years after the American Women's
Club was organized the Deutscher Frauen-
klub came into existence, being founded by
the wealthiest and most influential women
in Berlin This Is pre-eminently the smart
club Of Germany and counts among its
members and supporters one royal princess
and two or three xcellencies and ladies in
waiting at the German court Marie Won
Luyden Is the president.
Once year this club opens It's doors to
strangers, when large reception Is given,
to which members permitted to invite
husbands brothers or friends. This is
the only occasion upon which men are al
lowed to enter the house.
After this club was well established It was
decided that its fees were high for profess
sional and seif-supporting women, and a
second club was organized These two. the
Deutscher Frauenklub and the Frauenkub

Numerous attempts are being made
to intimidate Andrews Some of the

least. Some seem purposeless. A few
days ago young woman, petite and
pretty, went to the office of the Grand
Jury. She was in trouble, she said,
and understood that Mr.. Andrews
sometimes made loans. Would he lend
her some money on her Jewels? She
was told that Andrews was not in the
loan business and left, after shedding
a few tears of disappointment. A
Grand Jury detective followed her and
found that she had been sent by some
one who was interested in trapping the
arch enemy of graft.
Andrews was given to understand
lately that If he did not quit a paper
would be got out for the purpose
of knocking" him. He smiled when

Monday, the jury returning a
verdict of ''not guilty" to the
charge of murder. Although the
other members of the mob will be
held for trial until courJ conyenes

cases will probably be mol pressed.
1t is likely that some of them
will ask for bail, as the fall term
