Amazing Growth of Women S Clubs--Their Varied

Mrs. Henrotin, long associated with
women's clubs. made this statement several
years ago: In no place in the world can
wom1n come so easily 30 the front as
in a large woman's club"
This being the case, It explains TO some
extent the amazing rapidity with which
women's clubs caught the feminine fancy.
A desire to come to the front is undoubtedly
a strong American trait.
At any rate, from the founding Of Sorosls,
which gathered to itself at the outset some

was in full swing. One year later the
Brooklyn Womans Club, which now has a
membership Of more than $50, was organized,
and almost simultaneously womon's clubs
sprang up in several Of the larger cities
OF the countr.
What was called by some the John Baptist

under the name Of Association for the

can women best associate their efforts for
the amelioration Of society," Although
the members Of this club, with but few
exceptions, we're living in New York, no
fewer than eighteen States were repre-

never had been done and it could not and
would not be done on that occasion. Women
must resign themselves TO forego listening
to the great mans speech.
Naturally Mrs Croly and her intimAtes
were highly Indignant. Az Mrs. Charlotte
B. Wilbour tells the story, at a st. Valentine
party given by her soon afterward, a woman
writer asked:
why can't we have a club Of our own?'
we can, and we will, replied Mn. Croly
Alice Cary, Mrs. II. NJ. Field and a few
kindred spirits. with the result that Sorosis
was organized few weeks later with If
teen members. Before the year was out
there were sixty-two members, and the club
was incorporated in December, 1893, Civ
ing as a reason for its being these objects:
THE promotion Of agreeable and useful
relations among women Of literary, artistic
and scientific tastes; the discussion and
dissemination OF principles and facts which
promise TO exert a salutaTy influence on
women and on society; the establishment
Of an order which shall render the female
sex helpful 20 each other and actively
benevolent TO the world
Miss Alice Cary was the first president
and served just once; then. overwhelmed
by the adverse criticism poured out upon
her and the club, she resigned TO make
way for Mrs. Croly.
IT we had announced an intention TO
start a soup kitchen, feed sick babies OF

we proposed b meet and eat in a public
restaurant and conduct ourselves with the

US the jeers OF the entire country. Even

term meaning many flowers in one, was
used az a handle for reproach.

Up to this time tho literary club had been
TO the front. Civic, patriotic and social
clubs were yet TO be heard from.
Miss Grace Dodge, in 1883, rung in a change
and stamped the club movement with her
approval by organizing what was prob
ably the first working girls club in the
world, under the name of The Thirty-eighth
Street Club Of Working Girls. There we're
