WOMEN WANT A CLUBHOUSE
Efforts in Tacoma Are Worth Imita'
tion In Every Town and City In
the Country.

The clubwomen of Tacoma, Wash.
are making a quiet but consistent eff
fort to have a clubhouse. Their as
sociation has already more than $1,000
in its treasury, and is constantly add
ing to the fund by means of entertain
ments, sales, subscriptions, etc.
Tacoma has a larger number of
women affiliated in clubs than any 9th
er city in the state in proportion to
its population, yet 1t has no clubhouse.
In Seattle the clubwomen have a fine
structure that fills many wants as a
place for lectures, concerts, regular
club meetings and central gather
ing point, uniting the interests and eff
forts of women. Bellingham has two
woman's clubhouses, and Olympia has
a woman's clubhouse that serves many
needs in the capital city.
The Tacoma women feel certain
that their activities and their useful.
ness in civic life would be increased
had they a meeting place of their own.
The experience of other cities has
taught them that. outside the initial
expense of purchase or erection of a
building, the revenues from rentals
make such a clubhouse self-supporting
after it is once completely paid for.

Wild Flowers In Your Garden.

Wild flowers, always so attractive
in the spring, should be taken up later
when the weather becomes warmer,
with roots attached, and planted on the
north side of the house, where they
will bloom for years to come. If not
planted on the north side they must
be sheltered in some manner. Take
up considerable amount of earth with
each plant and do not disturb the roots
any more than can be helped, and
plant as soon as possible in deep
trenches partially filled with fertilizer
and rich garden soil, for they demand
rich soil. Violets will flourish in al.
most any part of a garden, but the
spring beauties and other fragile bios
SONS demand mixed shadow and sun.
shine. All wool ferns should be plant
ed on the north side of the house.
Maidenhair fern does best when plant
ed in a crock and kept on the porch.

M HELPS
DECRY THE WOODEN FENCE
Many Cities Are Working for the Abo.
Iitlon of What Is Generally Called
Nuisance.

War is being declared upon the
wooden, tight-boarded fences which
| disfgure the back yards and alleys of
80 many cities. Such fences are de.
clared to be "time-honored breeders
Of fires, crime and disease" and Off
cials of the health, police and fire de-
partments everywhere are urging that
they be prohibited by law.
The wooden fence probably came
| into use when lumber was cheap and
privacy seemed attainable by this sort
Of screen. But with the building of
rows of two and three-story and even
higher dwellings, privacy is invaded
by the eye of the neighbor in the upper
story and is no longer valid excuse
for the evils promoted by the wooden
fence.
Statistics show an unusually high
percentage of serious fires in localities
where the wooden fences abound. A
fire starting in one block may easily
be carried through a whole block BY
the fences.
These fences also are great him
drance to the police. They prevent
the proper inspection of a neighbor.
hood, serve as screens behind which
crimes can be committed in safety
and supply hiding places for burglars
and sneak thieves while waiting their
opportunity to break into houses.
Other charges in the indictment of
the wooden fence are that it is un.
slightly, that it encourages the accu
mutation of disease-breeding rubbish
and that it shuts off the light and air
from what would otherwise be attrac.
tive Fairgrounds for children.

even over the sense of hurt which It's

that you have given up the best
friend a woman might have for what
you told yourself was your golden
hour and found it was only tinkling
brass?
l think at this moment l am not
hurt and bruised and torn so much
over the fact that Dick has been false
to me as l am that another woman
has betrayed me-and that woman
the one perhaps that l could have
loved best of all that 1 have ever met.
Strange, is it not, that you and
l can sit down and write to each other
in this way when if we should see
each other we would still say the
things we do not mean.
AS l sit here this morning l am
wondering what there is in Dick Wa
verify that you and 1 have loved. You
will see that l say have loved" for
1 don't love Dick any more, and even
after reading your last letter to him
1 don't believe you love him any more
either.
1t hurts me most to think now,
that 1 a see clearly-am able to
write in this way to you. 1 wish l
could feel the awful desolation that l
would if l still loved Dick. Truly /
want to love him and 1 can see by

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
MY SECOND LETTER TO ELEANOR

thrown them away lightly, for they
meant as little to him as the immola-
ton of your heart and love on the
pyre that lighted his vagrant holi-
days.
told you in my last letter that l
pitied you and now l tell you that I
pity Dick, because he has sold his
birthright for a mess of pottage and
even yet he does not understand what
he has lost.
Twill he ever do SOP" 1 do not
know.
I'm going to send in this letter my
check for $500 that you may go to
your mothers friend and still have
enough money to make you comfort
able and give you a feeling of indie
pendence for a little while if you find
that you can live with her.
l give it only as from one woman
to another in trouble, and 1 want you
to understand that / would give Dick
to you just as freely as l have this
check if he had intimated any slight
est desire to leave me. 1 write this in
all candor, because, although he tells
me he is choosing me because he
loves me yet, l am not sure that he is
not making this choice merely to pre-
vent the fuss and scandal that would
ensue had he or 1 decided that we
must separate.
Why do Iforgive?
1 do not forgiveI have only ceas-
ed to feel
Goodbye, Eleanor Fairlow. Ihope
l shall never look upon your face
again, and 1 wish that 1 could, like
you, put this whole life that l have
been living behind me and begin
anew. .
1 told Dick this morning that he
would have to gain my love all over Z
again if he wished me to live with
him as his wife.
It's all mixed up. It's all mixed I'D,
Eleanor, and l a not be sure that
