Mrs Stephen Davie, the presi dent of th club, is a wrain of earnest characteriEtics and she fiela the re sponsibilities of her piwi'ion. She mikes tie godof the dub her study and aim, and she is proving to bo a woman well fitt)d for the place. The reform department of the Wo men's club of Denver, sent out a com mittee of two rccant'y to look into the city and county j til. Such a move on the part of the Woman's club ct tb's city might bi productive of gcol reeultp. The appended teport was brought in by one of the women who visited the county jail: "The OLly two wh'ta women in the jail at the time of our visit begged for mateii.il for crocheting ard knbt:nr, which as afterwards supplied to thtm w'th gool remits. Tee watd n stated that from his experience a great want exis's for a prisonere ad s ciety, or of a committee ready to give a helping hand to a discharged prisoner. The Unitid Stites prisoners are furnished on lojving jail wits a new suit of clothes and 5 in money, but the county prisoners receive nothing. Such gift) would not be de sirable fcr the short term cases, but from time to time the warden finds a. en and boys, as well as yourg women who deserve he'p to a bitter life. The jail suit of blue overalls is often all a dis chaiged prisoner has; even undr wear is not furnished. Your committee feels tbat reform is neided in this matter of clo'.h'ng, ia order that a mao may not be tempted at the first turn on leaving the jail to steal clothing in which he my more readily obtain work. Might it Lot be well for the reform depart trent to study the subjret of tto prisoners" aid societies, and take steps to organiz3 one within its limits, or in that of the Woian'B club?

Orders are pourirg in for Mr. Dun roy's new book "Corn Tassels," from all over the country. He has received or ders from as far east as Pennsylvania, and as far west as California. Several eastern publications have given the book flattering advance notices which are an earnest of what the reviews will be when the book is out. The book is now in preBsand will Le out for the holiday trade. Mr. Dunroy will handle the book himself and all crder3 should be sent to him direct. It s to be purely a Nebraska enterprise. The design was made by a Nebraska a'tit and the book is dedicated to Nebraska and her people. The Ch Id' Stady department of the Woman's Club met last Saturday at the usutl place. Tne subjects ocsidered were Dress, Hygiene and Food. Mrs. Sawyer's pnper on dress and Miss Rand's on food were comprehensive and in etruc ive. The iap?r on Hjgiene was by Mrs. Dinsmore and was so valuable and forcieble and so earnestly presented as tu bring forth the unusual compliment of a round of applause. In the discussion following this paper, a question was opened to the solution of which the Idd'us wou.d like to call the attention of the School Bo.trl. And t- at is why it is nece sary that the basement should be used for the school rcotn. A Love all who is responsible that the youngest and thisa mostsutc ptibe to unsanitary influences, the kindergarten scholars should be the ones placed in these un hoilthful surroundings? The adjourned meetirg of the city fedora tion will be held at two o'clock on Monday aftrnoon in the Mat'neo Musical rooms before the regular meet ing or the Woman's Club. The dele gates of last year do not seem to under stand that their prseence is necessary in order to close up last year's business, before turning over the affairs to the new deleza'c. It is hoped that a suf ficient cumber of delegates will ba pres ent to allow a definite di c'sion as to the advisability of retaining the federation. It Ws probably the nearness of Christmas that aroused lg interest of so large a number o! the members of the Woman's Club, in the rrogram of tho depattment of Household Economies on Monday aftercoin. About fifty ladies gathered at the home of Mrs. John A. Ames to be instructed in tue atof mak irg candy. After the reading of a paper on the origin of girts and gift making by Mrs. McLennon, the ladies crowded about Mrs. Ames while she moulded the toothsome sweets, later to I o njoyed by thegues's. After the Ecrving of light refreshments the department adjourned to meet in 1 wo weeks with Mrs. Plutu mer, ZMi O street. The first or en meeting of the Matinee Munical for this ypar will be given in the club room on the evening of Deer m ber 13tb. Each member will be entitled tu two ticket", besides the uss of her membership ticket for herself and escort. It has always seemed a waste of effort for the many exc Uent papers read le fore the various culture clubs to be en j yed by so few persons. Vet in spite of their excellence ard the amount of in foimat;on patently cleaned en a'cbosen topic, the majority of such papers" could OLly have tLe interest for thoss 1 urrow ing in the same nhannils of thought. Compensation comes to the writers through self-culture, otherwise it would be disourpgng indeed to devote a winte.'s thought and study in producing an article which will be heard, perhaps, by fifteen or twenty wo en, and thei be forgotten. It has been left to tin State Federa tion of W.scocsin, to suggest a use for mis accumulated iniormauon. A re ciprocity lureau was started about a year ago, which has for its object the exchargcof par erg and trlks among the federated cluts, making it possible for each club to secure ueeful suggistions from the s:sfer clubs pursuing similar lines of wcrk or study. The fist cata logue of the bureau, issued within four months of its organizition, showed a list of nearly fifty papers loined by club wo rn n for circula ion among the other fedtratid club . In addition an excel lent list of speakers is included, who re spond to invitations fiom clubs tq.whom their subjects appeal. The movement is said to have proved helpful in promoting the spirit of good-fellowship among the clubs, and as a result all are doing better work. The bureau has a'eo assisted the work of the Educat'onal Corauittee, by offering three pap rs on Stdta institu tions, which had been read by their writers before the State Board of Con trol and Associated Charities. These papers have been in gieat demand and incn a?ed the interest in the educational work of the federation. The reports from the convention of the New York State Federaton have proved disappointing in that sj much of the time was devoted to the revision of the constitution. One point of general interest in connection with this revision was t ha voting down of an amendment which provided that clulsof n arian or political learnings should not intro duce their spe l I subjects at the meet- tM,' I IIIIMI IH IIMIMIMM RUDGE & MORRIS CO. 1118-1126 N.
