The Club With Money To Spend
BY KATE UPsoN CLARK.
President of the Wheaton Club" New York City.

tlIOW the members of your club
II quarrel of late! remarked a
lady TO one of her intimate
friends. You must have some vicious
element there Can't you get rid of
it?"
Not at all, returned her friend. de-
spairingly. I'VE used to be as happy
and peaceful as your y club until-Ne
grew rich, Now We have treasury
full of money, and before we decide
how 10 spend it we are likely TO be torn
10 pieces. one faction wishes TO fur
nish a room in the hospital. Another
wishes 10 put up a cottage for cOnta-
giOus diseases. A third section is for
a kindergarten in our poorest quarter.
Another is for setting up lunch CLUB
for shop girls They are all good
causes. ! myself wish to put the whole
sum out at interest until. cooperating
with other clubs we may build a fine,
substantial clubhouse, where the dozen
or more clubs of our city may have Il
home. one reason why wOmen'S clubs
have seldom had the standing in the
community that they ought to have is
because they have not had any proper
~ and they have not had permanent
homes. We do not thoroughly respect
individuals. as a rule, until they amass
a decent property. and it has always
been counted strong argument for
responsibility 10 own ones home. Sta
btlity. and living income with some
thing laid up to provide for future
needs and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. things
our clubs have got to have, just as
mems clubs have them"
But how can things be permanent
when they are fashionable" grOaned
the first speaker. The very essence
OF fashion is change. our r. club is
now fifteen years old. 1t has been most
successful. Our waiting list is large
and the meetings are interesting. but
l can see that it is changing its char
acter. The fashionable ones are drop
ping away. They are tired of 1t, and
they find the attendance irksome. They
are generally the ones who have the
money, and we have depended on them
for large subscriptions when We had
any special object in view"
There ought not 10 be special sub
scTiptions. There ought always to be
a fun treasury from dues and fees"
And yet your full treasury is split
ting up your club,'
THAT is because it is new thing for
US TO have money. We have not learned
yet how TO manage il. Our treasurer
knew nothing of investments nor of
any phase of practical finance beyond
her own marketing. We are going TO
pay our treasurer a salary. One great
fault of all our clubs has been that we
have had to select our officers from
among our rich or Well-to-do women.
The poorer ones. many of whom were
admirably qualified could not afford
the time for the exacting work Some
of our officers have been fine. but some
have not. II has been seriously pro-
posed that. with the increase of wealth
in our club. We should pay our presl-
dent. treasurer and secretary each
salary"
"But viii not this make the office
holding craze more bitter than ever?
And viii not ffice-holding in our
clubs degenerate into mercenary
business
