will in appearance mimic real home . house built for one family.
 Ct course, the size will be considerable 50 feet front, as many in height and near. ly 100 feet deep, but, surrounded by buildings of great height, it will look like a modest two-story -and-a-half CO lonial mansion, with the hall in the mid. dle, in the good old village fashion There is even the semblance of a front porch" and upperveranda running along the entire front. But tho rooms are un' usually large and lofty, two stories near. ly equaling four in the adjoining brown stone houses, and the dormer windows cunningly conceal the fact that there are four stories in front, not three and five behind.
 Is 1t strange that New York should be so slow to possess clubhouse built for women? am not sure. In the first place, not every organization is rich enough or sure enough of permanent life to put $500, 1000 into land and building. and it is hardly feasible in good quar- ter to do with less In fact to attempt to do with less would be to invite failure from the start, for the woman who would take to club life in any form wants nothing less in the way of accommodations than she sees in the mems clubs. There is really a matter of competition among clubs as in other lines.
 And then-women are conservative! They really are. Never mind if Mrs. Wharton, in her new serial. does repre- sent society heroine as soothing her nerves with an occasional cigarette. There is less smoking among women than there was ten years ago. There was always less than many writers tried to make out. On the other hand, there will be wine on call in the new club, just as there is in the mems clubs. I do not believe that it will be obtrusive. For that matter. even of wine drinking there is less in society now than form erly. And as the wine room" is to be about six feet square and dark except for electrics, 1t is easy to see that the de- sign is rather buffers pantry, whence to dispense cellar stores, than anything in the nature of a a"barroom."

The only thing in clubdom of like pleas antness is the roof garden of the New York Yacht club. with its pergolalike ef- feet of overshadowing vines.
 There are several clubs that admit men and women to equal membership, of which the Fine Arts club is at the moment the best known, owing to the constant stream of visitors who have gone to its pretty rooms on Thirty fourth street to see the alleged Prax- iteles Aphrodite, about whose genuine ness there has been such a war of the critics. This club is very modest, with . cheap restaurant for members-in a word, . great convenience for men and women of simple tastes.
 That the membership of this club is large is not to be wondered at, for there are thousands who appreciate the refining influences which 1t offers. This membership is recruited. to a large extent from that element in New York's population which comes from the smaller towns, and especially those of the central states. Young men and women who come to New York to study or to engage in literary or art lines take naturally to the Fine Arts. club.
 The women's University club, . very conservative and wisely managed or kanizatfon with . limited membership chosen along scholastic lines. is likely to build . clubhouse within . year. For economic reasons, if it does 60. it will erect a building of eight stories. of which the lower five may be rented for business purposes or for casual meetings of wom- en's organizations. Probably the ma jority of the members are teachers in public and private schools.
 The Brooklyn woman's club. one of the largest in the country. and the old est except Sorosis in this vicinity. has . number of very wealthy women mem- bers. and could have had its own club house long ago. at . cost much cheaper than in Manhattan. owing to the lower price of land. but it has always held that 1t was more conservative policy not to challenge scofnng by making it's meet ing place conspicuous.
 The venture of a New York club as . householder is rretty safe Even if the original organization aoes go to pieces, those uho have put money into tie building are safe as investors The ero~th of the city does that Years go the Reform club linen of courseD bought what was then a modest site just north

 any other in ths s.sy answers ths Lon don idea Jf such sn institution. Itsnew House on Fifth avenue supplies me with an occasional practical joke on visitors from my old home in the country. It is three stories high, has three windows on Fifth avenue on each floor and twice as many on the side street.
 How wide do you suppose it is?" casually ask the visitor, after naming 1t
 "Oh-three windows, three stories perhaps 30 feet" he replies. It is really 75 feet wide, 15O feet deep on the side street and enarly 100 feet high. The three stories in front are divided into nine behind, where are cozy rooms for resident members and for the servants who live on the premises. It is as big as 30 small two-story houses in Brook lyn; but it doesn't look it. The average Union club member does nothing for a living. He proposes his son for mem- e bership as soon as he is born. Under this system the waiting list is long. Yet the membership and other fees are not so. high as those of the Metropolitan, commonly called the Millionaire's club, farther up the avenue.
 The University club is about the same size, but looks bigger because there is no such attempt at calm exterior. There are more and smaller windows, and the number of stories is apparent. Its mem- bership is larger, but not less select, scholarship being rough test. The Union League club, founded by Frederic Law Olmstead, head of the sanitary con- mission during the war, take rank among social organizations, though it has not altogether, lost it's political pur- poses. The Calumet, Lotos, Century, AL dine, Players, have social and literary or artistic lines. The Grolier club, mem- bershiped by lovers of rare books, is a type of hundred special organizations. Its rooms are very beautiful, but do not supply home comforts" Even the En- gineers' club has beautiful house, built by Carnegie. The St. Nicholas has To- cal habitation as well as pame; it's annual banquets are the finest in New York. and it is type of hundred lesser organizations. including gatherings from half the counties of the state and from as many colleges, which meet only for an anual banquet. At the banquet of the St. Lawrence club this year $50 persons of both sexes were present. Such rush of the country people as it has taken to fill New York!
 In the Amen Corner New York has an organization similar to the Washington, Gridirop, ,and the Philadelphia Clover. club. The first Amen Corner" was the sofa in the corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel, where Senator Platt received the confidences of his leaders of a Sunday night. Started as joke by Eddie" Riggs, the New York Suns political re- porter, it has proved too good to die. For two years now its meetings have been of almost national scope in the number and quality of the guests.

TO DESTROY WILD CARROTS
Legislation in Massachusetts, for the
determination Of Noxious
Plants.

A bill is pending In the Massachusetts
legislature to prevent the spread of wild
carrots or parsnips Il provides that
every person or corporation owning
lands within the state shall cut down OF
otherwise destroy all Wild carrots grow
ing thereon, or growing In the high
ways adjoining the land. on pain Of
fine for every day OF neglect. This,
says the Portland tMe) Press. Is q
matter which should receive attention
in other states. The weed in question
Is comparatively new In these parts.
II is but a few years since It's appear
ance in any quantity was noticed. but
already 1t has spread through many
parts OF the state and infests the now
ing fields and roadsides far and wide.
What is everybody's business is no
body's. While many farmers keep
their land free from the pes, to a great
extent, their Efforts are OF little use
so long as careless and lazy neighbors
allow the weeds to flourish and go 20
