Tribune) !, Direct afiliation between the Mems l City club and the new Woman's City club, just organizing, is the nope ex- I pressed by some of the mempers oI l the City club, who have just learned l of the proposed organization TOT Wom- en. And although some of the City l club mem bers have long had the idea to build new and larger clubhouse, giving women separate quarters, but l making them mem bers of their organ l ization. they are quite cordially well coming the new separate club. some of the members of the City club have talked and hoped for the admission of women to the club,' said W. F. Howes, one of the secretaries, "and have even said that when the time came for our new clubhouse we should bring women under the same roof, though with separate quarters, and give them full opportunity to work in the club. But the women have gone ahead and done for them selves l see.'
 But Women Don't Wait.
 Which is exactly it; they have gone ahead and done for themselves. Seven public-spirited women formed the initiatoryf committee. which has invited one hundred representative New York women to compose the or ganizing committee.
 We want a City club for women" said Mrs Norman de R. Whitehause, one of the committee, because it is positively the only way to make our selves heard. Nobody pays any par ticular attention to our suggestions; organizing 8 body of women will give weight to what we have to say. We want to improve city conditions: we want to do effective civic work. A city club is the only way.
 Join the mems City club? We'll, we never had that open to us. Indeed. we want to cooperate with them. It has been suggested that we have our close to theirs. But they have offered us no encouragement, so We embarked"
 Men Approve Club.
 Once embarked, however, the men are extending quite generous encour-t agement.
 1T most heartily approve of the Woman's City club,' said Oswald Vil- lard, and hope very earnestly that the two clubs may come together in cooperative interests. When I was an officer and trustee, I wanted very much to admit women to our club. In fact, great many members have felt that we would do well to include wo- men, but nothing has been done, you see. We need not diferentiate be- tween the services of men and wo- men, I think Both can do their share, and city affairs would better profit if women had a hand in shap- ing them. .
 Quite as hospitable was William of the committee on election law of the City Club.
 Its fine idea he said. Any thing that creates an interest in men or women in city betterment is wor- thy. I should be glad to have the two clubs come together in some way. Separate clubhouses might be but for all working pur- poses the committees ought to keep in close touch with each other, just as do the committees in the Ear As- sociation and the New York County Law Association. The value of pub- licity is the whole point; the more people interested, the better the re- suits. Women could certainly help out the City Club and I'm glad such big women have started it.'
 A Separatist.
 Mir. Martin Taylor of the City Club legislation committee, approves of the Woman's City Club, but wishes no women in his club.
 We use men on our committee
