NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Tha Women's
T7nlTrtty club has a membership of some
TM woman and U fast disproving all the
theories of the sterner sex aa to the ability
of woman to manage a business organlsa
tlon successfully. It la alao ruperlor to
the "13" superstition. Organised In Octo

Vail for a time, but the place where it
flrat really assumed a local habitation and
a name wn at 13 Eaat Twenty-fourt'.i
street, of which it took possession In 19nt
From here the club went to a flue old
home on Orammercy Park, No. 10, which
It aoon outgrew, and in October, 1906, It
moved Into Ita present quarters at 17
Madison Square North, the former horn
of tha Tale club. Aa one of the member
expressed it: "A rolling atone gathers
no mng and what we need la greenbacks,"
ao tha members hope aoon to acquire a
Dnrmanent home and one far more
epacloua than the present, for they have
already found tt neceeaary to annex the
two upper floor of the adjoining' house In
' order to provide for their needs.
Thla club la a purely social organisation.
To be aura one of Ita purpoaoa, according
ta tha constitution, la "tha promotion of
literature and art," but the member let
others do most of tha promoting and they
enjoy It. They don't have to prepare
papers to be read at their august assem
blies; In fact, thst don't join the club with
tha lda of working, they belong In order
that they may enjer in the most delight
ful way tha relaxation of spacious rooms,
the social intercourse of many charming
women and all tha advantages of an at
tractive club home.
Horn of tha flab.
The large room on the first floor Im
press one with an atmosphere of colonial
days, particularly aa you have been ush
ered In by the most realistic of old south
ern darkles. The furnishings aro of old
mahogany upholstered In green, the walla
are of the same soft, dull green, and the
roomy chairs and davenports are Inviting
and restful. Tho dining room, which looks
out upon an old-fashioned New York, gar
den, sees many an excellent dinner served
at the little tables set for four, with their
tall colonial candlesticks and dainty china.
I'patalrs Is the library and writing room,
where one finds several hundred volumes
at her disposal as well aa tha best dallies
and tha current magaslnes. The whole
piece Impresses you as being particularly
quiet and peaceful, but In thla room the
only "don't" known to the organisation ap
pears upon a amall placard set upon the
mantel piece which reads "Silence In This
Room."
Beyond thla Is tha lounging room with at
least half a doaen comfortable lounges and
big chairs where one may steal forty winks
from the busy day. Because these women
are learned does not mean that they are
not distinctly feminine, and In a convenient
place. Is the little vanity room where a,
stray lock msy be pinned In place or a bit
of powder carefully applied.
If you ahould ask to aee the amoklng
room your escort will reply, "We haven't
any smoking room, nor do the women
smoke here, though they might do bo If
they wished, for 1here Isn't any law
against It."
If you are a member you may live here
at any rate from 112 a week up. Or If you
live out of town you may atay over night:
while any member may put up a guest for
not more than two weeks, so long as the
guest la not eligible for membership.
There are some twenty sleeping rooms
for the use of members, twelve of which
are leased permanently and the remaining
eight reserved, for transients. These rent
at from tl to 12.50 a day or from U to IK
a week. No tipping Is allowed and the
members sign checks for their meals.
Advantages Are Many.
tub anvantagea or the club are many.
The bachelor maid may find the comforts
or a home here. It Is a pleasant place for
her : men friends to call and an excellent
place to be Invited to dinner. She may
even be married here, for, such things have
happened within the last two years.
The alumnae rluba of the varloua col
leges meet her for business and pleasure.
Tin Smith college graduates have a day
and the Wellealey and Vaasar alumnae
clubs want to do likewise. If a new and
permanent home la acquired a room will
be set apart for thla purpose.
The midday luncheons are a 'popular fee-
ture. If one would look In at this Ume
any weekday she might see a bright
nappy, wide awake group of women who
nave come rrom the varloua publishing
houses near by, from their work with the
Charity Organisation aoclety or from their
homes to enjoy good home cooking and
agreeable companionship.

wsy to take luncheon at the club every
day, so ah selects two days a week when
sho goes up from her office on lower
Broadway, and her frlenfs make a point
of going the same days so that they may
keep up their old associations. A very
excellent luncheon Is served for B0 centa.
The hour of afternoon tea Is another In
teresting time at the Women's University
club. The members msy meet thrlr friends
hare snd chat over an excellent cup of tea
and sandwiches. Friday Is the club's at
home day, when tea Is served gratis and
poured for you by some one of the mem
bers. To become a member you must be a
graduate of a university or college of good
standing. If one joins within two years
after receiving her first degree she Is ex
empt from the 116 Initiation fee. There are
some twenty-nine homo colleges repre
sented besides the universities of Toronto,
London and Zurich and Qlrton college, Eng
land. Not all of the members live In and around
New York, some having their homes so far
away as California. About' 400 aro resident
and the remaining-3tt) and morn nonresident.
The latter enjoy all the privileges of the
club home, but they do not vote or hold
office. Their dues are $10 a year, but It Is
wull worth the money when one comes to
town.
KntertsJnments Arc Fine.
During the season from October to May
about two entertainments a month are pio
vlded. These take the form of receptions
to noted persons, mustcales, lectures on
live topics of current Interest or picture
displays. Among the well known persons
who have been entertained) within the last
wo years are Mary Oarden, Mme. Qadakl,
Mme. Schumann-Heinle, Mark Twain, Edith
Wynne Mathlaon, Maj-garet Wycherly, Mtb.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, Dr. Mary Pat
rick, president of the Women's College of
Constantinople, and Sir Caspar Purdon
Clarke. Many of these have given talks on
the subjects most or Interest to each.
But the club does not have to go outside
Its lists to find people of note, for such
women ss Anne O'llugan, Harriot Stanton
Ulatcli, Mrs. George Itaven Putnam and
Miss GUI. late dean of liarnard college;
Mrs. Arthur II. Scribner, Mrs. Vladimir
Slmkhovltch, lesder of the work at Green
wich House, and Jean Webster, who WTote
"When Patty Went to College," are all ac
tive members. Mrs. William Reynolds
Brown Is the president of the club.
Only about one-quarter of the members
are married, so the men can scarcely claim
any of the glory of Its support. They boast
that they have solved the problem of run
ning a club better than men have, for they
can do It without the revenue from a bar.
BELATED XMAS FOR JACKIES
Battleship Globe Glrdlers Mast Walt
for Christmas Tree Five
Weeks.
Somewhere between Colombo and 9uci.
on Christmas day, the sixteen men-o'war
of the Atlantlo fleet, with sttendant col
liers and supply ships, will be bucking their
way home, fir trees lashed to mastheads
and Jollity unmitigated on every craft. But
withal, there will be something missing.
It Is not Important how It happened, but
Undo Bam sllppod up In his holiday cal
culations for tha 11,000 Jackles who are on
the beginning of the lost lap of their world
encircling voyage. lie forgot to allow suffl
clcnt time for the Bants Claus ship of the
navy to roach Its destination. The result
Is that the supply ship Oltlo la lying at
the Brooklyn navy 'yard, now, taking on
its Christmas load, with the prospect of
not getting away from Ita dock until Christ
mas Is long past, perhaps not even before
January 10. At that rate. It will be Impos
sible for the Celtlo and the battleships
to come together until February 3.
And all those long weeks, from Christmas
day to February S, the bluejackets must
wait, wondering what on earth the folks at
home have sent them. It isn't muck fun,
as every one will admit, to have such a
siege of anticipation. Waiting until Christ
mas day Is bad enough. But to have to add
about six weeks more that will be really
trying.
Christmas Is Christmas In a double sense
when you are far away from tho place
where Christmas seems to center. Perhaps
that Is why the stlffest executive officer,
according to the bluejackets, unbends on
that particular day, with a hearty "Merry
Christmas!" to every one, from his watch-
officers down.
All this, however. Is very far away from
tho supply ship Celtlp, hugging closo to
Its berth at the old coal dock In the navy
yard, with Eust river sephyrs nipping In
through porthole and open hatch. Open
hatches are a necessity because long lines
of freight cars have been run up beside
the vessel, nnd from them stevedores are
hoisting aboard. In nets, the BOO tons of
fresh beef, In huge slabs, which will go
to assuage the hunger of the battleships'
crews. Later on will come the turn of the
turkeys to descend Into tho Celtic's ia

Lots of other eatables, too, are included
In the cargo of tho supply ship, vegetables,
fresh and dried, sweets, everything, in
short, thst rsn aid In satisfying the appe
tltes of 14.0U0 more or less hungry men
Not, of course, that the crews of the battle-
hlp fleet must wait until the Celtic ar
rives for their Christmas dinner. Uncle
Bam 'was not quite so forgetful. Another
supply ship left for the eaat some time aga
with the materials for the spread, and It
la expected that It will connect with the
fleet In ample time.
Claim of the Celtlo to the honor of being

When the travel-atulncJ battleships steam
Into Gibraltar harbor, under the shadow of
the Rock of the Lion, about February S.
there will be the Oltlo waiting for them,
with a wreath of white steam puffing out
of Its whistle pipe for a Santa Claus beard

material for turkey dinners. Being a

PARSON FIGHTS ROAD HOGS

CLASS FEELING UPHELD BY THEM
lew Crusader Makes Appearance la
Kb la ad and Start Manraslae
Against Motor Car
Given Rapport,
LONDON, Dec. 19 (Special.) A new
crusader has made his first appearance
In Lngland. ltn Is a well-known Ameri
can citizen, whose mother Is a urand-
nlece of President Monroe, at present
working as a parson In the North Lon
don parish, said to be the resort of the
most select body of thieves and burglars
In the world. The Rev. George Monroe
Royce differs from most previous cru
saders in that he Is leading an attack
of the many against the few of the nine
hundred and ninety-nine against the one,
If we accept the estimate of FreJuick
Harrison, the posltlvlst philosopher, vho
is In full sympathy with Royce's ciu-
sado. The American parson. In fact, as
editor of the Non-Motorist, whose first
number Is soon to be Issued, stands forth
as the champion In his country of all
who do not possess motor cars iigalnnt
"the common enemy of man and beast,"
and In particular, the road hog.
Increases Class Prejudice.
I found Mr. Royce at St. Mary's vicar
age, lloxton, brimful of enthuelaim for
his cause and confident In the future of
the Non-Motortat, which will commence
life aa a monthly magazine, but hopes
to become a weekly If It attracts public
Interest. The editor has been much en
couraged by the promises of support
from the Highways Protection lciisue, of
which the leading Bplrlt Ia Lord
WUloughby de Broke, who lias declured
that "nothing sets the poor against .tho
rich so much as motoring" and has writ
ten that he "will do everything in his
power to support the Non-Motorist from
the Road union, which was formed ex
pressly to combat the motor car, under
the guidance of Dr. Shadwell. the well
known Times writer and author uf the
book on "Industrial America." and from
Lord Halsbury, ex-lord chancellor of
Kngland, whose words, "Wo are living
In an actual rc'gn of terror," appear In
the place of honor on the cover of the
Non-Motorist.
Here Is Lord Halsbury's letter to me
when I wrote asking him If I might use
the sentence as our motto," said Mr.
Royce. It reads:
Dear Sir: You are heartllv welenme
to make use of nnr word that I have
spoken uriil ct orld, and I hope your
publication will tend to abate a verv
dangerous nuisance. Faithfully yours,
HALSBURY.
Plans Public Demonstration.
"We want to have a public demonstration
this winter,'" continued Mr. Royce, "with
Lord Halsbury In the chair, and supported
by the Highway Protection league and the
Uoad union, which are In cordial c.o-opera-
tlon with one another. Dr. Shadwell has
written to mo that the two societies will
further co-operate to support my venture.
The Road union, you know, this year pro
moted a memorial to the prime minister,
which was signed by more than 210 district
councils in Kngland, calling attention to
the Intolerable state of things produced by
the increasing number, size, weight and
speed of motor vehicles. Why, according to
Lord Montagus of licaulleu, there are 0,000
automobiles on the roads In this country.
At the present rate of Increase we shall
soon have 200.000, and what shall we see
then? Already 60 per cent of the upkeep
of the road goes to repairing the damage
done by motor cars, especially by those
chains which they have round their wheels.
"The abuse in England is worse than In
other lands, owing to the small Blzo of the
country. Tho county of Kent is already
ruined by the cars, and when you have
tho 200.000 It will be the same all over. I
am speaking of what I know by personal
experience, for I have traveled for five
years up and down England, taking min
isterial duties here and there.
"Perhaps the namo 'Non-Motorist' mny
not strike you as being so appropriate as
'Antl-Motorlst,' for Instance. Hut wo make
our appeal n everyone who does not own
or ride a motor car. Still, we are (rankly
hostile to the automobile. The position Is
this: The motor enr Is the attacking power.
We ordinary people ore living In a perpet
ual condition of fear and danger, as great.
If not greater, than an actual state of war.
The motorists themselves Invite the use of
the word war. Do they not employ 'scouts'
to meet the legal checks on excessive speed,
and for what are scouts used except as pre
cautions against an enemvT Tho motorist
Is a foe, deliberately setting at defiance
the laws of his country an outlaw. There
fore the wsr against him must Ih unre
lenting. We must carry It on without
quarter and exterminate the car, whose ex
istence threatens our lives, heulth and prop
erty." Auto Modern Outrage.
Mr. Royce waxed warmer, and he moved
restlessly about his small study In the
lloxton vicarage, shaking rapidly and In
cisively. "Why. the motorists must be
dreaming If they think they can monopo
lize the roads, bringing death to men,
women and children especially children
and spoiling the whole countryside. Tho
automobile Is the grentest outrage upon
civilisation within the memory of man. Irt
ters have appeared In the press from all
clashes of people, presenting the outrage
In all Its phases. It Is simply amazing, af
ter reading those letters, to think that wo
have put. up so long with 'the common
enemy of man and beast' (as the car has
so well been called) which disfigures the
town, defaces the country, menaces 11
other modes of motion. Imperils life and
limb, and Is everywhere and under all
conditions a dread and danger to society."
