LARGEST WoMAN's CLUB.
Has Eleven Thousand Members and
Is In Barbaric Africa.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The largest woman's club in the world
Is in Sierra Leone, on the west coast of
Africa. 1t is called the "Bunda," and has
1000 members.
Their Madam President, although they
do not call her that, acts as the Bundu
devil and, attired In her robes of office,
exercises her power over spirits. good and
evil.
A couple of years ago one of the leaders
of clubdom In Chicago suggested that
children should not be raised in the home
at all, but should be placed In a sort of
asylum, where they would be assured of
scientific feeding, care, education and
protection, trained In the domestic arts
and Sciences and taught their responsible
tiles toward their fellow
Her idea created quite a sensation, yet
she was proposing exactly the thing that
the Bundu voted upon perhaps 300 years
ago, and was done every since.
The mother, who is member of the
Bundu, keeps her young children at home
during the time that her care is essential
to their well being. After that time they
are sent away.
If they are boys they are sent into the
'Poro BUSH" an encampment in one of
the beautiful dells In the forest. There
the boys are under the charge OF the an
cient and wise men of the tribe. and
there they are trained in hunting. fight
ing, dancing singing and cooking. The
Poro bush Is the mans college of Sierra
Leone.
If the child is a girl she is sent into the
Bundu bush. hidden and secret encamp-
ment In the forest, where the old women
and strong young women, slaves or paid
workers, care for them and educate them
In the domestic arts
No man can approach the Bundu bush
except pain of death. so the female
seminary of the Bundu goes unmolested
no man daring to approach. The parents
of the children must pay for the care and
training and feeding Of their children.
Occasionally there Is q public exhibition
of the girls from the Bundu bush, a sort
of commencement day exercise. The
girls are handsome If rather barbaric
looking. The dancing costumes consists
OF short white cotton skirts draped with
palm leaves. and from the edges of the
skirt are suspended thin pieces of iron
that jangle unsteady as the girls dance.
They not only dance cleyerly in ballet
formations, but they execute difficult
pas-seuls in creditable and graceful man
ner The women of the tribe members
of the club only, often show great enthu-
siasm over the grace OF some exceptional
dancer and show their appreciation by
rushing forward and embracing her. After
the dances the girls are led back to their
secret retreat.
The club women of Sierra Leone are re-
sourceful. They have made possible the
education Of all girls of good families
even when the families are not able to
pay the expenses of sending their girls
away to the college or convent In the
bush. In such cases the parents arrange
the girls betrothal to some wealthy young
man, or to a child whose parents are
wealthy, and the betrothed pays the ex-
penses, claiming her when her education
Is complete.
