WOMEN'S CLUBS
PARLIAMENTARY LAW FOR
IRVING CLUB MEMBERS.
President Of Post Parliament Club, OF
New York, Defines Subject Before
Interested Audience.

The feature of the meeting of 1 he irving
c1,1b held at tie residence of MIS-. Harry
l3erefels. s6e Clinton avenue. yestarday aft
ernoon, was drill in parliament ary law
bv Mrs. John Fowler Trow, of New YORK
Mrs. Trow is the president OF the fost
Parliament Club of New York citys ana Is
the author of a book called The Paria-
,nentarian' She prefaced her drill with
Jew remarks in which she said that there
cpoe was time when club woman
wished to do and say In meeting just as
she liked. and that in consequence things
were i'll done and Illegally done. But the
time has passed" declared Mrs. TOW
..wfen the law pays no attention TO woin-
ems clubs Every club election must pe
held under the laws of the State In Wtncn
the election takes place And, too, under
the new regime. even though II is not pos
sibIe that every one In club Will oe
pleased with certain procedures, IT is pos
sible to hLve every one go away with the
feeling Of having been treated fairy
EVERY club member has two RESPONSE
bilities under the law They are to pay
dues to the organization to whicn uiey DE-
long and to attend its meetings.
Mrs Trow asserted that the firsn duty
az every club woman was to uphold It's
president, and that the presidents duty
Ia the club was to see that its will and
not her own. was carried out in all busi-
ness.
.'Elect the president as an officer, not as
a woman,' said she. "Clubs suffer more
from misplaced friendship IN the ehec,iou
OF officers than from dissenson.
During the business session which pre-
ceded the lecture Miss Rose Egbert was
elected TO the membership of the club ana
the resignation of Miss Edna Drake ae-
cepted.

LET THE ECONOMICAL
WOMAN BEWARE.

OF the pretty. fancy sleeve forms. be-
cause they have already en1oyed long
favor and are decidedly on the 'wane.
Frocks of too decided color, as once
seen they are always remembere6k
OF elaborately trimmed skirts, for the
same reason.
She must avoid bargains offered IN dress
materials. No one ever gets a genuine
bargain who is not an experienced buyer
with an educated sense of selection
The economical woman must beV rare Of
clinging to old materials and wearing ap-
parel and rernodeling them season. after
season.
This habit is as dulling to the mi pd and
appearance as the continual serving of one
meat is to the palate.
There Is no economy In 1t, either
The woman who Is repeatedly remodel
ing dresses long past their prime with
costly trimmings in order to frezhen. them
up is extravagantly wastefuI instead of
economical.

NEW VELvETS.

One would scsxeely think there were so
many beautiful velvets If survey Of the
new creations did not give the impression
that they were nunberless. The newest
tones are lovely. being rather duh in color
ing, though extremely rich in the somher
shades. There are in the market specially
good shades OF duh blue, purple with a
touch or red IN IT. and Of brown with
more than strong color Of green inter-
woven with the duh color Velveteens arc
seen at the same time and they, too, are
very much Of the same rich type Fortu-
nateiY the material IS no heavier than
cloth. for which reason hpth kinds arc
easily fashioned jim any Of the prevailing
styles for winter wear.

I'd really not rather associate with
those people; they are not in my social
class, you know" said a girl at a social
gathering not long ago. Il know them
very well, of course" she added, "but I
never associate with them because do
not consider them my equal"
Gould anything be more foolish or, to
put 1t q little stronger, could anything
be more ridiculous? This poor girl is
filled with empty pride, and the pity of
it is, she has nothing to back up her
pride. People know her for what she is
and shun her, so that on the whole her
life is very miserable.
People who can boast of family and
social position are never the ones to
draw the line of caste, that is, If there
position is a true one and If they are to
the manner born.
Tt is only the newly aff1uent who have
nothing in the past to be proud Of that
are always fearful lest some one whom
they consider their interiors shall find
out how little their pretensions really
amount to. People of assured standing
never give their positions moments
thought 1t is not necessary for them
to draw lines between them and others,
for no words are needed to prove they
are gently born.
1t behooves those who would have
others look UP to them as superior be-
ings to learn first of all that the true
gentleman or woman never by word or
action permits others to feel beneath
them.
Depend upon it, Just as soon as you
hear a person declaim his social posi-
ton he is not sure of 1t himself. The
person Of social rank is never heard to
say, "He, or she, Is beneath me. They
are not in my set" People of assured
position and fine breeding never ignore
those not born to the purple, because
they know and realize they do not have
to be on their guard against interiors
1t is only the social climber who finds
1T necessary to pick and choose.

WHO WON THEPRIZES
WHIST CLOSES BENEFIT
FOR HOSPITAL.
Feature Attracts Many to Fair Gotten
Up to Help Womens and Chill
dren's Institutions.

| The fair that has been in progress at
The New Auditorium since Thursday
\ under the auspices of the board of
managers Of the Hospital for Women
and Children, came to a successful
termination last night with q public
Il whist, in which several hundred per-
! sons participated. So splendidly did
the committee arrange the final nights
1 program that, although there were a
host of people playing cards for nearly
| q half hundred prizes, the booths in
Nthe main auditorium did not suffer for
want of patrons.
The whist was held in the annex in
" thich the fair supper was served 1t
is the first time that the annex had
be ven used for such purpose, and the
ex pertinent was good one, for it en-
alb led the fair management to carry
out its plans. When the fair came to
a C lose last night nearly all the booths
had been depleted of their stock of
sala BILE articles. After the whist, at the
requ est of the younger folk, indorsed
by n tany Of the matrons present, not
few of whom were interested In the
fair, the committee arranged for an
inform hal dance of five numbers. This
was a good adjunct to the evening en-
joyment. and was the means Of holding
many persons in the hall with the re-
suit that the booths and ice-cream par
lor did a good business.
The w hist was under the direction of
Dr. r. S. Hopkins, and was most pleas
ingly COZ iducted. Everybody found a
delight in the games that made the time
pass by q uicl1ly, and at every table the
struggle vas waged with a good-na-
tured rivai Wy. Eighty-four tables were
in use by the card players.

CONCERNING WLlMEN
AT HOME AND ABROAD.

There isoa new club FORMED in Paris, a
woman's club, in which sNnoling will be
encouraged and literary subjects discussed.
The order of precedence is no doubt inten-
tional. 1t is called La Scott lie des Femmes
Savantes. and 1t is said to ! " very hard to
gain adnlittance to its sacr Vi portals
Society women both in the United States
and abroad undoubtedly are b acoming taller
with every passing generatio D. There are
in the present decade many who are of
good height and it is noticea l1le that the
debutantes Of each succeeding a'ear appear
TO have gained a little In their average of
stature.
The modern girl can do everything a
man can do and do 1t on less food and
with less sleep, says writer. No man
could live the life the ordinary society
woman leads and not be wreck at the
end of the first season Certainly no man
could run the risks the average woman
runs in the mere matter of health and not
become confirmed invalid on the spot.
The home of the future, according to
the architects. will consist of large living
room, q small kitchen, with electrical ap-
paratus, and a great enclosed porch with
facilities for outdoor sleeping 1t VIII be

the new penitentiary at Atlanta Ga,
which she will inspect and report upon.
Mrs. Foster has tried murder cases and
all sorts Of legal cases, and is a very sue

An odd bracelet seen at Frank
Hollis, ard one that lends a touch OF
the Oriental, is of dull silver heavily
chased. 1t has five amethyst pendants
of graduated sizes that are very ef-
fective.
Lingerie petticoats are lovelier and
more fluffy than ever before Among
those seen at L. S. Plaut & Co.'s fine
hand embroidery and masses of ruffles
to wear with the daintlest evening
gowns.
Pony sweaters, the most approved
style, are among the cold weather bar
gains offered at the David Straus
store. They are made with two hip
pockets and are shown in all the lead
ing colors.
Evening scaffs of the most delicate
gauze and crepe de chine are offered at
w. " Snyder & Co.'S Among the
prettiest are those of pale Lavender
with borders of purple violets and PAN
sizes.
Thanksgiving favors are among the
pretty novelties offered at Hahne &
Co.'S. There are small bonbon boxes
shaped like roast turkeys and dainty
little crepe paper boxes of assorted
coiors with naughty barnyard gob-
bier perched on top.
The new high-laced boots which will
be SO popular during the season are
offered in wide variety at Marshall &
Ia lfs. They are shown in dull black
or tan leather with cloth tops, and
SOME have heavy pebble leather tops
for stormy weather.

pity We have grown so used to see

Bangs are horrors, compared TO
pretty, soft ppmpadours, and If you
want to be Convinced of this just look
at some photographs which were
taken twenty years ago.

N.Y. but prices ate high just now!
Shoes, gloves, materials, everything,
seems to have beent marked away up,
and it takes all kinds OF contriving
for the most of us to make ends meet.
Clothes have most exasperating
way of wearing out just when they
are most needed, especially the little
things. upon which the success of our
appearance depends.
You may wear the nattiest suit in
the world, with perfect dream" Of a

shabby you will not look nice. Always
see that your heels are well built up,

members OF the art department OF the
Womans Club of Orange and their friends
at the regular meeting of the department
yesterday afternoon, when she gave
highly entertaining paper entitled "Some
Notes on English Art ~
Miss Ward said the object of her paper
was TO decide what the world owes to
English art. She gave a history of the
ROYAL Academy of Art in London, and
a critical estimate of the status OF the
artists. including Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Constable Turner, Watts and Whistler,
and paid a particular tribute to Burnes-
Jones.
The latter, the speaker said. is appre-
ciated more than any other English artist.
Ellis portraits" she said. appeal to the
pride of the family which is a strong Eng
lish characteristic.
In tracing the influence of the water
coiorist, the speaker said: 'Burnes-Jones
and Watts are full of idealism even in
their portraits. and the Whistler pictures
are bit of nature seen through tenn
permanent"
Speaking directly of Whistler, Miss Ward
said. "What might he not have been haa
he been less self absorbed
In conclusion she spoke of England S
wonderful appreciation of the great works

The Selection Of q Husband.

From the North American Review.
Because 1t is the duty Of every woman
to marry some nan. 1t by no means fol-
lows that she Is deprived of the privilege
Of making acute discrimination: on the
contrary. to fulfill hel mission as COM
pleteiy as possible she should exercise
the greatest care in selecting a mate.
Time was when she had no say in the
matter, and in some countries she has lit
tie or none today. but in this happy civil
lied Land she still Possesses: and will I'M
doubtedly hold for al time, the right first
to choose and then ensare 1t is a noble
il our Judgment. that
should be appreciated and cherished above
all others. And yet as We have observed
1t should be exercised with caution. Let
nothing be left to chance, as Plato would
have had It when he decreed that pairing
should be done by lot; while not over
nice, be at least particular, in order that
the one chosen may feel honored by the
distinction conferred upon him. and SO be
the more readily induced to show his un-
dying gratefulness. -, .
Much that was thought and written
years ago on how to choose a wife was
good enough for the time. but the recent
reversal Of the relative attitudes of seeker
and sought renders it vaIueless. Never
theles despite the fact that, in con-
sidering the points to be needed and the
precautions to be observed by woman
kind. We find ourselves in a faIlow fed,
certain general principles may be regarded
as established. 1t is best, for example,
to capture q husband while he Is sill
young, doci'e and plastic. Preferably also
he should be in ,ove- He may then be
trained afteH the manner best calculated
to serve the convenience of her for whom
thenceforth he must and should toll.
