These walks have been an inter-

a moonlight walk each month was

cursions fathers, husbands. and

Organization Thoroughly Demo-
cratic, With Wide Social,
Intellectual, and Civic In
terests.

A womdn's clubhouse may soon
be added to the list of attractive
club homes in Washington.
The College Women's Club has
set out to erect a building for the
organization. This is one Of the
most flourishing clubs in the Capt.
tai. 1t is truly representative Of
every sort of college and every
section of the country.
The clubs activities, aims, and
plans are outlined in this article
from Information furnished by its
president, Miss Elizabeth v.
Brown, and its secretary, Mrs. John
r. Weyich.
By ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
THE object Of this club shall be
to create and maintain, among the
college women Of Washington, an or
ganized center of thought and action
for the promotion of social interests.
Intellectual culture, and educational
enterprise"
This sentence from the constitution
of the College women's Club ac-
curately sums up the aims OF one of
the largest and most active of the
Capitals women's clubs.
There still are women whose con-
seriousness was arrested In the day
when college attendance by women
was looked upon with distrust and
suspicion, who might regard IN or
ganization Of college graduates as an
exclusive and a distinctly class af-
fair. The yare. wrong. The College
Women's Club is essentially demo-
cratic, as shown by its make-up<
of women from all types rf womcn's
colleges, coeducational, denomina-
tional, non-sectarian, State and city
universities, and by its activities,
which are along the line Of civic
betterment as well as of personal
culture.
Has 400 Members.
Organized about eight years ago, the
club now has a membership exceed
ing 100, representing eighty-seven col
leges. These colleges are in all parts
Of the United States and Canada.

A RUSSIAN RICHELIEU.

The notorious peasant monk
Rasputin, one of the three or -four
most powerful men in Russia, has
been murdered. Few people outside
Russia ever heard of him before. He
was a peripatetic monk with little
education when he was brought to
the note of people who found him
interesting; they introduced him in
court at St. Petersburg; Gar and
Czarina were drawn to him; he rose
to power; and now that he has been
murdered by woman he is referred
to as a Russian Richelieu" and
roundly denounced as a peculiarly
wicked adventurer.
Perhaps he was; it is curious how
different the picture seems when the
viewpoint changes. This uneducated
monk became the trusted counselor
of the Gar. While he was feared
and dreaded by the court, none spoke
ill of him; but he is gone, and now
he is denounced as mountebank,
fakir, hypnotist. Where lies
tho truth?
This son of the people, rising to
power, seems always to have been
a vigorous supporter of the peoples
cause. 1t is said that last year his
influence alone prevented a war be-
tween Russia and Austria. The
grand dukes and big-bugs of the
court were for it; tie wicked, in
monk Rasputin was against
it; and the monk prevailed. His sue
cess in determining a state policy
Of such tremendous importance is
now cited as proof of his danger
Gus character.
But it hardly proves just that.
To save Russia from war in which
enc would have had to face Austria
and Germany and almost certain
defeat, was hardly the act of dan
gerous mountebank. 1. would seem
rather the patriotic service of very
big and useful man.
Later, Rasputin induced the Gar
to dismiss-so the story runs-the
that had wanted war. This,
again, is set forth as more proof
that he wielled a mysterious and
baieful influence over the weak
Gar. But need we take it as more
than evidence that the sturdy monk
convinced the Gar that such ad-
visers ought to go?
Rasputin, it is declared, became
80 powerful that he dared defy the
Holy Synod of the Russian church:
he conclusive and final evidence that
he was a very emissary of the Evil
One! But why? We know of the
Holy Synod as the very citadel of
in Russia, the enemy Of
all liberty, intelligence, progress; the
chief inspiration to persecution OF
Jews, the procurer of -itualist trials,
the instrument that so long served
pobiedonostseff's purpose of keeping
Russia under the absolute sway Of
Ultimate toryism. Wherein did Ras-
putin offend in breaking it's power?
So powerful did thus dangerous
person become that people Of all
classes thronged tc his house in st.
with petitions; and he
was very often able to get them
granted What could De more con-
elusive proof of his essential malev-
,lence and calculated villainy-espe-
cia!y when it is learned that he
vas especially given to getting
favors for the poor and oppressed!
Truly, the hand of 4 fanatical
woman served Russia we'll in remov-
ng so dangerous a malefactor as
his!

said in part:

have the work done again. If every
