by women from the Colonies or by those
having relatives, interests or connections
there. This is very quiet, exclusive and
extensive, and. too. a very difficult club to

members unless they are wives of British

OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION.

This club was founded in 1903 Ito pro-
vide meeting place for men and women
OF varied shades of opinion, united by a
common desire for the enfranchisement or
women" 1t was the first OF several suf-
frage clubs TO be organized in London
Originally started in Russell Square, IL
now occupies commodious and comfort
able quarters in a convenient location on
Grafton street.
IL numbers now 1850 members and has
for president the Right Honorable the
Earl Of Lytton and for vice-president
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. 1t is not
residential. The dues are low and within
the reach of all Dinners. teas, hot
lunches are served at a moderate rate.
In the large drawing room on the second
cretonne chairs. are tables covered with
literature concerning the suffrage in all
countries. and particularly OF the different
societies in London. OF which there are
thirty three. 1t possesses an excellent
library composed OF books dealing with
every aspect OF the feminist movement
and numbering over a thousand volumes
in French, German and other languages
as we'll as in English
The secretary was very emphatic when
she told me that officially the club did not
stand for the militant movement found
that no club, society or person does. eX-

LECTURES OR DEBATES.

The following are the subjects OF lect-
ures or debates given by the club last
spring: "Co-ed education in Finland" "Flog-
gng and the White Slave Traffic" tde-
bate), Family Life on 81 n Week" Il
Vivisection Justfiable?" and Woman and
the Fall of Man." II goes without saying
that member must be a supporter OF
the cause cf women's. .enfranchsement.
The American Womans Club / did not
visit, but member gave me the follow
ing details.
The Society of American Women in Lon
don Is especially organized TO promote
charitable work. II has been in existence
but a year and now occupies house in
North Audley street. Mrs. Fox and Mrs.
Jennings are prominent In the organiza-
ton and working of the club.
II is also social In nature and aims to
bring together some of the 5000 Ameri-
can women resident in London as we'll as
those visiting it,
IL aims to encourage them to be philan-
thropic, and to that end dinner Is
planned to be given every Easter to poor
men belonging to a mission In which the
club Is interested.

The Dam of Paddy the Beaver
Grows.

Paddy the Beaver kept right on work
ing just as If he hadn't any visitors. You
see. ii is "A big undertaking to build dam.
And when that WAS done there Was "A
house to build and a supply Of food for
the winter TO cut and store. oh. Paddy
the Beaver had no time for idle gossip,
YOU may be sure, So he kept right on
building his dam. Ii didn't look much
like a dam at first, and some of Paddy's
visitors turned up their noses when they
first saw il. You see. they had heard
stories Of what a wonderful dam builder
Paddy was. and they had expected to see
something like the smooth, grass-covered
bank with which Farmer Brown kept the
Big River from running back on his low
lands. Instead al they saw was great
pile Of poles and sticks. which looked
like anything but dam.
POOH" exclaimed Billy Mink. II guess
needn't worry about the Laughing
Brook and the Smiling Pool If that Is the
best Paddy can do. Why, the water or
the Laughing Brook will work through
that in no time.
OF course Paddy heard him, but he
said noth;ng-just kept right on working
Just look At the NAY h. has laid those
sticks, continued Billy Mink. Seems as
III amy one would know enough To lay
them across the Laughing Brook, instead
of just the other way. | could build a
better dam than that!
Paddy said nothing-just kept right on
working
Yes sir Billy boasted, II could build

of sticks Mill never stop the water

Paddy still kept at work, saying nothing.
He was digging IN front of the dam now

nd the little pond above the dam began
to grow faster. 1t wasn't a great While
before il was nearly TO the top or the
dam which at first. of course was very
low. Then Paddy brought more sticks.
This was easier now, because he could
float them down from the place wheIe
he was cutting. He would put them IN
