taken in tbe'meetines, and the ladies are
preparing for a winter of good hard
work. 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? '
The committee made fome good sug
gestions as to improvemen p, arroi g
them beirg betttr ventiution, ham
mocks instead or raat'ressee, to rid the
jail of vermine, the treatment of habi
tual drunkards as diseased, empIojmeLt
for the wonj9a and li'eraturo for the
children who should Le detiiced at the
matron's room.
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-
