Chicago, Feb. GA club to take
| care of the children of club women
while the mothers are discussing pub
| lie affairs and tea-such is the sug-
| gestion which Rev. Fred V. Hawley,
pastor of the Unity Presbyterian
church, advanced before the Progress
| sive Health cuban organization of
women.
He declared Ii was a much needed
| philanthropy, and, needless to say, the
| ladies present politely contradicted
| him.
I'm the neighborhood where live"
| said Mr.. Hawley, Il have noticed that
\ the children are hurried away to
school after late breakfast, so that
their mothers can leave the house for
club meetings or shopping, or both.
They come home at noon, and find
| that their mothers are absent and
that they are at the tender mercy OF
the maid or governess.
| After school mother is still away,
and the children are free to roam the
| streets as much as they like. The
mothers are very seldom at home, be-
tween their clubs and their social en-
gagements, and as consequence
some of the boys have grown up with
manners and morals that shock me
and cause lump to rise UP In my
| throat.
You women have your clubs for
this and that, many of them, | admit
devoted to worthy purposes. Well,
wish that we had in our neighborhood
a club which would take care of these
orphans while their mothers are away
They have luxurious homes, good
clothes, plenty of toys. and fathers
and mothers-but they are orphans
Just the same.
What they need, more than any
thing else, is some one who will come
closer TO their hearts than the schoo
teacher or the governess. That place
is best filed by the father and the
mother, but club OF motherly womeI
might help them.
You women to whom | am talking
have all reared your families, ant
, probably reared them well. You fee
that you now have time for your club
and are right. | am only speaking
of conditions in my own neighborhood
: and of certain kinds of clubs which
are not as useful as the Progressive
Health club.
