SATCRDA x Week's end dinner and nop
at Field and Country clubs.
At a porch party given out Benson way
one evening laat week, a society bachelor
won a box of cigars for propounding the
best conundrum. This waa It: If the
Quiet of Lent Is strenuous, what do you
call this?" Nobody attempted to answer
his riddle; tha hostess Just brought out
the cigars and started a new game and
no one objected. And no wonder. "Quiet"
la not the term to apply to society Just
at present. It Is absolutely dull, ana even
the score or more visiting glrla and Women
aeem unable to Inspire tha fashionables t
wake up and do something. Ladles' day
at the Country club haa dropped back to
place 'with other ordinary affairs; the
luncheons are not large and there are not
many of them, and the majority of the
women who get up energy enough to go
out to the Country club before the late
afternoon go to piny bridge. As for the
hop, one of the debutantes says that It
la a "dreadful drag." Out at the Field
club, however, things are some better.
There are enough who manifest sufficient
Interest In the midweek hop and the Bat
urday night affilrs to amount almost to a
crowd.
By far the most weloome announcement
that haa come to society In many a day
was that concerning the horse show. It
at least furnished something to talk about
In the absence of something to do and
the deflnltenees of It Increased the en
thusiasm which, If it continues In pro
portion between this and September, will
moke that long anticipated occasion to ex
ceed anything and everything that has
happened since the coronation of Alt-Bar-Ben.

In these Interesting books, making It Im
possible for us to draw any other conclu
slon than that muddle. Incapacity and tho
division and tho subdivision of responsi
bility among an army of officials, suffl
clent, If properly managed, to deal with a
hundred times the work they have to do,
hnve set their seal upon Russia of today
and are dragging It down to the brink of
an appalling catastrophe.
But perhaps the most serious danger for
the future of Russia Is the complete lack
of a powerful middle class which knows
what It wants and means to get It. Listen
to this description of the middle-class pro
vincial life from the columns of the Rus
sian Times the Novoe Vremya Itself:
"It Is a fact that at the present moment
not only our villages, but even our district
towns, are falling Into decay. In the first
place the number of their Inhabitants has
remained stationary In most of them for
decades past. So ancient a town as Vg
lltsch has even, like many others, de- lined
In population, Its former figure of 13,000 In
habitants being now only 9,000.
"Postal communication has not progressed
beyond the ancient stages. Two or three
times a week' the post comes and no body
think of making a change in this state of
things, although the organization of a dally
service would entail only a very moderate
expenditure.
"No libraries, no reading rooms, no thea
ter. Social life Is nonexistent. In a num
ber of towns there are not even clubs, and
where 1hey exist they are used by the local
Intelligence, which frequently consists en
tirely of drunkards, as a sort of hlgh
claes public house. Decay Is evident every
where; the streets are overgrown with
grass, the fences crooked, the little houses
of the humbler Inhabitants half In ruins;
everywhere you see unused building plats.
Trade and the revenue of the towns are
decreasing hopelessly."
The towns are burdened with taxes on
trade, upon Immovables, with the quarter
ing of the military and by ether taxes
of the government. They are deprived of
one source of Income after another in
favor of the treasury.
In many districts, where the population
Is declining at an alarming rate, the cause
Is to be found ' In the loosening of the
ties between parents and children.
Shaping; for av Revolution.
VIENNA, July 16. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) A prominent politician lp west
ern Europe wrote to a friend here a few
days ngo: "Everything in Russia seoms
shaping for a revolution, and a determined
protest against the bureaucratic regime.
Russia will have to modernize Itself, as It
stands a fair chance of having to face a
setback that will cripple It for a quarter of
a century."
The letter was shown to an experienced
diplomatist here, who made the following
remarks on It:
"I wish it might be so, but I do not be
lieve It. Where could the czar find men
In his vast .empire whom he could trust
and whom the people could trust to under
take the work of reform T There la no
Francis Beck In Russian Poland aa there
waa In Hungary, nor. Indeed, .anyone
trained In consUtutlopal Ideas; and the
masses would not understand whether re
forms meant the distribution of the land of
the nobility amongst the peasants, the
abolition of taxes, or what else. There
Is plenty of dissatisfaction and a revolu
tion may be attempted by Poles and Finns,
assisted by Jews, Armenians, socialists and
the student Claas. There may, again, be
nihilism lir its ugliest form; but an 'era
of constitutional reform there will not and
cannot be. A revolution would be put
down; nihilism would be stamped out as
before, and Russia would remain what it
l-a country In which the best lnten
tloned ruler, like the present czar, himself
the slave and the victim of the bureauc
racy system a country In which corruption
la the real ruler and will not allow reform,
which means public control.
"It was easy for Alexander II to abolish
serfdom, because that touched the Interest
of the masses, and the bureaucracy was
not strong enough to fight against it. But
constitutional reform has for Its prelim
lnary condition tho education of the people,
and In Russia they are purposely kept Ig
norant. ' "The Institution of the Zematvos may be
widened a little, and I believe that is the
csar's Intention; but that would be out of
proportion to what la expected as the re
sult of the present war. , The discontented,
intelligent classes understand by reform
a more thorough clearance than the czar
who has no direct heir and Is, therefore
subject to the Influence of those who may
have to succeed him-would ever dare to
grant. One reform, liberty of the press,
would be within his' power to give, and
from it would follow all other reforms
But a generation would have to pass, and
the revolutionist are not In a mood to
wait
"In a word. I believe In the possibility of
a revolution; but that would bring in Its
wake reaction, not reform, Just as was
the case In Austria after 184

WOUAN III CLUB AKD CHARITY
It Is a matter of genuine sutlsfac Ion
to club women genernliy that a plan has
at last been devised by which the news
of the General Federation . may, from
month to month, be given out. At the
meeting of the new executive board at the
close of the St. Louis biennial It was de
cided that each member of the board
thall have chargo for one month of the
year of preparing the news of the General
Federation for presentation to the club
women through the columns of The Club
Woman, the federations official organ.
The schedule is as follows: August, Mrs.
Sarah Piatt Decker; September, Mrs.
Charles Perkins; October. Mrs. Lydia P.
Williams; November. Mrs. J. Llndsey John
son; December, Mrs. Pelle M. Stouten
borough; January, 1905, Mrs. Vary 8.
Wood; February, Mrs. Philip N. Mooie;
March, Mrs. Joseph 13. Sowles: April, Mr.
May Alden Ward; May, Mrs. Percy Penny
backer; June, Mrs. William Orr; July, Mrs.
Charles Yardley.
The Rhode Island Federation Is the flr.t
of the state 'organizations to have a club
house. The necessary funds have been I
subscribed for the building and the work j
Is to be begun soon. The building will be
called Churchill House.
The club women of New England aro
planning an exhibit to be placed at the
fair to be given this fall at Boston by the
I'nlted Commercial Travelers of America.
Practically all of the women's organlza
tlons of that section will be represented.
In addition to the exhibit there will re a
dally program, consisting of lectures and
demonstrations In domestic oolence and
domestic arts. There will also be In con
nection a model day nursery and play
room, where children may be left under
tho care of professional attendants. A
mpdel kitchen nnd dining room will form
a part of the exhibit.
The report that Miss Helen Gould Is
contemplating the erection of a national
club building devoted to the Interests of
the club women of America represented
In tho General Federation Is received with
delight by women generally. It Is said
that the building is to be located some
where In the middle west, and that It is
Miss Gould's Intention to expend several
million dollars Id Its erection, equipment
and maintenance. It Is supposed that it
will be run on the plan of a great Insti
tution In the Instruction of literature, art,
science and other subjects to, which the
club women are giving their attention.
That the women of Amerlco had lfiO rep
resentatives at the International Council
of Women and the Qulnqulennlal confer
ence held last month in Berlin Is a fact
that speaks for Itself. In a series of
articles contributed to .several American
newspapers Mrs. Ida Husted Harper snys
In part:
' "A Berlin! A Berlin!" was the warlike
cry of Napoleon And a Berlin, a Berlin,
has been the rallying cry of an army of
women. , from the four corners of the
earth, tley have Journeyed to the seat
of the German empire. Under tho white
banner of peace those of Germany and
France clasp friendly hands. Australia and
fCw Zealand brinK KreetliiKS to Austria
and Bulgaria; the Italian peninsula salutes
the Scandinavian; ooum America presents
her 'compliments to Great Britain and the
United States benms approvingly on all.
The men of our country would feel very
proud of their women folks If they could
see the attention shown them nt these
great International meetings. "If only we
hnd the liberty you possess," the other
women say; K'lt only our men would let us
show what we are capable of doing and be
ing!" and then Invariably they end with
the inquiry, "But why is It that you have
not the suffrage, when you have every
thing else?"
The club women of Carroll, Neb., f-re
making an effort to secure to their town
the benefits of the state traveling library.
This privilege will cost 40, a considerable
sum for the women to raise when It Is con
sidered thot. their town has less than 300
Inhabitants. It Is this sort of couruge i ...d
persoverunce that has placed the Nebraska
Federation well to tho front In club work
ond Carroll is but one of many towns that J
has helped to . place it there.
It requires only a glance at the newly ap
pointed membership of the General Feder
ation of Women's Clubs to show the woman
who knows, or, In fact, almost uny other
woman for that matter, that tho new ex
ecutive board hns safeguarded the General
FederatlonVn gainst the Intrusion of at least
all the known undesirable elements that
would seek admission to It. Mrs. Percy

Utah. This Is the personnel of the commit
tee and when It Is remembered that it re
quires Its unanimous vote to elect a club
to membership, and attention Is given to
the addresses of the committee members,
there seems little danger that colored or
Mormon clubs will be admitted.
