1 the American Museum of Safety, who
 gave an interesting lecture with stereop- ticon views on "Now Let Us Conserve | Human Life"
 After the lecture met Dr. Tolmon and told him of the Red Mountain anti-tuber- | culosis camp, amid the Alabama pines the first one in Alabama and the only free camp for tuberculosis in the south
 and gave him the name and address of Dr. Wyman, who lived in a city renowned for it's conservation of human lives. I
 think the last census will bear me out in my assertion.
 I also met Mrs. Frank Leslie, who was
 most cordial, telling me she was a south
 ern woman, born and bred in New Or leans.
 Sometimes I wonder if the public fully appreciates the newspaper woman. These
 society writer's" as they are sometimes
 called To high ideals they are always
 subservient, and often with few lines
 of praise have helped to success the strug-
 gling writer and artist; often with few
 lines of recognition they have shielded or
 swept away the web of islander entangling the fair name of some girl or woman.
 What a debt of gratitude the women of
 the south who, forced by necessity, to
 go out into the world to work, owe to the memory of Catherine Cole (Mrs.
 Freld), of the' New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat and Mrs. Nicholson of the Picayune.
 These two women by pen and example
 broke through barriers of pride built around the southern woman and swept away the tradition that hemmed her in | from the outside world.
 And I saw other women in New York, the ones I have mentioned belong to
 the favored few, who are in position
 to help their less favored sister. In all
 cities, but more noticeable in the big
 cities, there Is squalor and splendor; there

Some how or other Artemus beat the ladies and walked in with a four to one count.
 But the meeting of women that im- pressed me most was the anniversary ex- ercises and. installation of officers of the Woman's Press club of New York to which I was fortunate enough to share an invitation with another friend.
 The exercises were held in the Astor gallery of the Waldorf-Astoria.
 In glancing over the programme and standing committees I saw that this press club and the Woman's club of Birming- ham founded few years ago by Mrs. Crozier-F French, Mrs. R. H. Pearson, Mrs. George c. Ball and Mrs. w. B. Leedy, was organized on the same principle. The upll1tlng or humanity ana the upDuliulnS of the community. This board of women not only represented the press but liter ature, progress and current events, art, music, citizenship and the legal interest of women; in fact, just what the press in it's best effort does and should repre- sent.
 The president, Madame Won Klenner (Marquise di Patten), was most gracious and tactful chairman, and in introducing the newly elected officers and chairmen of the various committees, made some happy personal allusion about each one which drew out the best of responses. Evidently this club has had no friction for the treasurer responded to her sixteenth reelection, and the auditor said her of- flee had no duties to perform.

Mu- sic and flowers, woman's needs, auued sweetness and fragrance to a brilliant assemblage of women to finish and dem- onstrate their work. The president intro- duced Dr. William H.
