DREAMS GO BY coNTRAa,Es

Quarreling in dreams is accounted
fortunate. You have had a heated ar
gument with an intimate friend or rela-
ton. and so vivid was the dream that
the feeling of resentment remains with
you for some time afterward II is
difficult to dispel until you receive.
during the next day or two. a kind and
loving letter or some particular mark
OF affection from the identical person
who seemed SO insolent to you in
dreamland
Madness also is distinctly a favorable
omen in dreams. 1t precedes some sue
cess gained entirely through your own
skill or discernment- To find yourself
or one of your friends-an inmate of
a lunatic asylum is indicative of the
offer of some responsible and coveted
position in which you or that other
individual will prove capable of doing
the work satisfactorily

Women's Clubs
THEIR GOOD POINTS and THEIR
FAILINGS.

DOES club life benefit the average
woman?
Yes and no. It all depends on the
woman.
The woman who leads a marrow life.
who has been weighted down by the
cares of domesticity and who has not
kept in touch with the events of the
world-with literature. music and art
will find the clubs a great benefit
They will teach her a great deal and
bring her once more into communica
ton with -hings she has been too busy
TO cultivate
The musical and literary programs
will be Just so much mental food to
her and If she shows any promise at
an she will be brought forward and
gently assisted to do her share. which
will give her confidence in herself: also
by making her prepare papers to read.
etc, her mind will be awakened from
its lethargy. and II will be like going to
school again for her, The woman who
is lonely. who has no particular social
set or friends. viii find the club a
greet benefit Clubwomen are easier
10 get acquainted with than others.
They have friendly feeling for the
stranger and are most hospita BILE But
here the benefit ends The woman who
has high social standing or many
friends will not belong to clubs, for her
time is too much occupied elsewhere.
and then too the class of women in
clubs is apt to be pretty mixed, and
that makes a difference to many wo-
men
Also the woman who is very we'll
educated who is very well read. trav-
eled and Informed, will not take so
much interest in club papers and pro-
grams for she will easily detect the
fact that many of the papers arr
copied from encyclopedias and that
most of the members know far less
than she does
Ai-o the well bred woman of the
world will object to the continual at
mosphere of "scrappiness" to be found
in women's clubs. to the backbiting pol
1tics and even SANDER to be found
there That is the great fault of club
dom It keeps the clubs from doing
the good they might do and from hay-
ing the membership they should pos
sess
Let us hope the day will come when
the woman's club will be even more a
factor for intellectual development and
VIII possess more of the feeling of sis
ternood and good breeding
