Women
and
Club Culture
Copyright by j. B Bowles.)

(NIrs. Ad1ai Stevenson is know the
country over as the wife of the former
vice president of the United States: Dur
ing her four years in Washington she was
a distinct social success. She has served,
as president general of the Daughters or
the American Revolution and as prom
inent officer in other important organiZa"
tions.)
Through the medium of the clubs,
and by their own volition, women have
turned upon themselves the search
light of close scrutiny. The result is
that many Of the defects of character
which were overlooked and pardoned
because of the feminine source now
stand before the court of their own
choosing
The crucial test is, What have the
clubs done to demand perpetuation
and the gratitude of credulous pub
lie?
It was not a sporadic but a most in
fictitious disease, this almost spontane-
GUS uprising among women into a
higher and nobler valuation of their
capabilities and dormant powers.
Perhaps the credit of introducing
club methods to the American women
should be given to the missionary So
cieties. The first movement for or
ganized, Independent work by the
American women in behalf of heath
en- women was inaugurated in New
York, April 1860, by Mrs. T. G. Dore-
| mus.
In 1884 the Rev David Abeel re.
| turned from his mission in China and
plead ed in New York the cause Of the
zenana women. This germ of two
mans mission to woman" took root in
the heart of Mrs. Doremus. TWenty-siz
years later, when she heard the stir.
ring words of missionary from Bur.
ma, Mrs. Doremus resolved that this
appeal should find response in the
hearts of American women ii it could
be accomplished. In 1860 her fondest
| hopes were realized, and an independ
ent, undenominational society was or
ganized to send out single women tc
the east The organization took the
title of the 'sWoman's Union Mission
airy Society of America for Heather
Lands" This was the first organized
effort of woman to conduct labors o.
magnitude and Importance.
Kindred societies. or clubs, sprans
up all over the country. What these
societies have done for the church a

And let it be borne in mind that al
this was the result of organized clul

this hen is said to have laid at his

State declarations, and many local
clubs, have started travelling libraries
for the benefit of rural districts. The
decoration of the home, schoolrooms
and garden improvements, all have
received attention, and the .1home
beautiful has become familiar. IN
every department the watchwords
have been progress and education.
What are few Of the thoughts
CLEANED and acts learned by women
in the arena of club life?
They have learned a more respect
full regard for the rights of others.
Further, they have learned that a
merely self-centered woman is neither
ornamental, useful nor happy. Self
ishness kills to the root every high
and noble aspiration of the human
heart, and in this class, the insincere
woman finds her place.
Women have learned confidence In
their ability to conduct business upon
strictly business principles. They
have challenged the respect of the
business world in the successful man
agement of their financial affairs.
They have learned that correctness
in statement and absolute impartiality
are essential in presiding officer;
that personal ambition must be elimi-
mated in the discussion and decision
| of all matters concerning the welfare
and progress of the body; that the
voice must be properly modulated and
that distinctness in articulation and
correctness in pronunciation are es-
sential in addressing large audiences,
as well as helpful in speaking to
smaller assemblies.
They have learned that courtesy
and promptness are the keys that
open the door to success. Unswerv.
ing justice Is a mightier weapon in
woman's hands than all the sergeants

an itemized account of the money
due him, but that at the time if was
submitted it was in itemized form.
Commissioner Steward, as chair
man of the special committee upon
this matter, stated that it was the
opinion of the boards attorney that
it would be Illegal to pay the bill
unless an itemiZed account could be
submitted.
AS the county has the original bills
on file the matter was deferred and

through these bills and then submit

The Escape of Conviets.
Commissioner Clopton reported
upon the escape Of a convict from
Guard Hammac and stated that he
did not think that the guard was at
fault, as there was only one guard
over a number of men. He therefore
moved that the fine OF SO be not en-
forced against him in this instance.
This was adopted, but for allowing a
convict to escape some time prior he
was fined $40. Guard Majors was
