A Worthy Memorial to
Jennie June


It is a tickle and forgetful world.
Humanity has SO many troubles of it's
own that it cannot long hold in mind
even individuals who have helped it.
That the remembrance Of Jennie June
Croly may not pass so speedily from
the thought of the living the Women's
Press club of New York city has pre-
pared beautiful and fitting memorial
to her, 1t is handsome and artistic
book dedicated to the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs of America.
Mrs. Croly was the originator of the
federated Woman's club idea She was,
Indeed, practically the originator Of the
Woman's club itself, Sorosis, Of which
she was the chief founder, having been
the first incorporated woman's club.
Mrs. Croly was also the founder and
until her death the only president of
the New York Women's Press club.
After her death a committee of that
club, headed by Mrs. Caroline M.
Morse, made collection of sketches of
their lost leader prepared by various
writers, also of many of her own pa
pers and letters to friends. These con-
st1tute the contents Of the beautiful
| book recently published, which is call
ed "Jane Cunningham Croly, Jennie
| June" Mrs. Morse, Jennie June's in
innate friend of years, has edited the
book with sympathetic discrimination.

Smile! Oh, yes, smile at everybody
and everything, and if you can't smile,
grin!
| Already no doubt the majority of
womankind are preparing to break
their New Years resolutions gracefully.
But the following let us hold fast to
for the whole year through thick and
thin: II will put forth good will and
helpfulness to everybody, and I will
mind my own business strictly

Wherever a woman IS really popular
| you will note that she has hearty, af-
| fectionate, natural manner which puts
| to fight and to shame all the kangaroo
hand shakings, the artificial society
| smiles and all the conventional small
talk in the universe. The woman whose
life is spent in an effort to do the con-
ventionally proper thing shrinks into
pitiful smallness beside the woman
who is sincere and naturally warm
hearted and sympathetic. This makes
a woman magnetfc-to be sincere, warm
hearted and sympathetic.
Blessed be the woman who does not
know what everybody else ought to do!
American girls going to France to
study ought to get passports before
leaving their native land or they may
be mistaken for spies, as Miss Eugene
Ulrich of New York was. Miss Ulrich
was an American teacher and lecturer
who spent some time in Limoges,
France. Soon after going into the
town she was summoned to appear be-
fore the authorities and present her
credentials. She had none, not think
ing them necessary. But the French
authorities held her under surveillance
| as Russian spy, and she was not al
lowed to go free till the state depart
ment at Washington interfered in her
behalf.
Mrs. John D. Sherman has been in
v1ted to become instructor in parlia-
mentary law at a Chicago law school.
Mrs. Sherman was official parliament
tartan at the last meeting of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs at st.
Louis. Many Of the most accomplished
| parliamentarians Of the time are Wo-
men. They are versed in all that per
tains to the holding Of any meeting,
from political convention to the ex-.
| ecutive committee meeting Of a wo-
mans club. Yet even so late as 1852
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton could
| lind no woman who she thought knew
enough to preside at the first woman's
! rights convention. Once more ''the sun
do move"

In recent English magazine wife
writes to the editor asking him what
she can do with husband who drinks
up all of her earnings, leaving her
nothing with which to support her
children. The editor can only tell her
that nothing at all can be done. The
law gives the husband there the right
to his wife's earnings, to do with them
exactly as he pleases. How would you
like to live under such laws as those?
American women do not half appre-
c1ate their own country.
