mm IX CLUB AND CHARITY
In no department of her activity can It
be more truly said that "woman's work Is
never done" than In clubdom, and with a
year Just closing, and another about to
vin. for the rest of the world, the club
woman finds herself only In the midst of
her work, and knows, too, that this Is not
because of lack of system or of plans gone
wrong, but only because, aa he world s
housekeeper, her efforts muat -not cease
with the year any more than with the day.
A resume of the year Just closing shows
to the credit of the clutr woman a list of
achievements of which she may well be
' . . . 0,. h - I
proud, and that by comparison with a few
years bacH seems strangely full and big, I
but altogether worth while. . ' I
In the national effort the work aocom- I
Dllshed in last "winter's legislatures stands
first, for few state federations failed to
secure the passage of at least one bill for
the regulation of child labor, compulsory
education, traveling libraries, or some
other measure for the promotion of - the
publlo welfare.
In Nebraaka the women have ,not been
less active than In other states; In fact, In
some respects they have more to ahow for
their efforts than In the majority ot atates,
particularly In their recognition by the
superintendent of tha Nebraska, educa
tional exhibition at the St. Louis exposi
tion aa an educational factor worthy of a
place In the atate exhibit there. Nebraska
la the one state In tha union to ao recog
nise Ita club women.
Tha atate meetings of the varloua or
ganisations last fall show every one In
creased materially In numbers and
strength. In September the (Women's
Christian Temperance union held Its an
nual meeting at Lexington, at which was
represented every part of the state, each
with reports of something accomplished.
In October the Nebraska Federation of
Women's Clubs met In annual convention
at Fremont, representing 116 clubs and
over 4,000 members. The same week the
Nebraska Woman Suffrage association met
at Nebraska City with 1.SO0 women repre
sented, and tha P. E. O. sisterhood held
Its meeting at Lincoln.
With each organization representing some
particular purpose, all hava worked to
gether In the main things, chief among
I
these being the effort for the establish-
meni jor a juvenile court, for a better pure

In Omaha the cluba have gone on grow
ing In strength and numbers. The Omaha
Woman's -club has rained materially In
membership, and with a liberal allowance
estimated for the year's expense will come
out in tha aprtng with fully 500 over and I
above Its expense, in addition to ita In-
vestment of $1,000.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
union, while not as noticeably' aotlve as
last year, has accomplished quite as much.

a great part of the work conducted at the
