The club women x.i Denver arill join the visitors UDon this excursion, which occupies a 'ay, wi'h dinner at a mining town in the hills. Othe.- routes will be left to visitors' own choosirg, very cheap rates prevailing throughout the State. Never was such intei eat felt by the women of the West in any event of the kind, and never will there be such an opportunity for the women cf everj section to learn to know each other.' The groaing importance of the club mneuent among women is shown by then.a-y references to it in the leading publcatious of the day. The current number of Lippincott's contains an ex cellent review of this sul ject by Emdy Tohnan from the organization of the General Federation in 18S9 to the pres ent time. The whole trend of th article shows that while clubs originate in the desire for general culture, in the broad ening of the mental horizon, an interest in questions of a more practical nature is sure to be aroused, and literary top'cs soon become sreondary to those affecting the community at large. Many lilraries hive been started in couu'.ry towns, and much attention given to the subject of edudtidn. Kindergaitscs have te-n established, school-rooms decorated with picture j of a high order, and worctn placed upon school boards. "Other club3 have been interested in village approvements, in planting shade-trees, c easing streets, and laing out side walks. An enterprising c'ub in Florida his fenced and improved the town park, driven a public well, lighted the streets with electricity, and planted more than a hundred shade-trees." Hospitals hav bean opened and training schools for nurses. The 6tudy of current erei ts has led to a greater .in'.erest not only in municipal affairs but in i tate Ie ;isiuuon and already some much needed reforms have been acc mpli ned throu, h me in fluence of clubs. "To crette a healthy public spirit" seems to be the mission of the club woman of tod y, and io tn8 altruistic movement ehe will still 1 ava time to preserve her own love of art and literature. A late issue of the Club Woinin, which is a paper that app-oachee near t th 1 official organ of tin niti onal feo'e ation,' since the demisj of the Lotus, has the following to say in regwd to the western womin: -Not but what the element of conservatism is a good thing in a club. Without it the over-zealous would doubtless rush to extremes and bring the club movement ijto d sgrace in certain quartern I doubt if our Wet:rn sisters know the full terrors of
