and witio-making. When sho pleaded
ignorance of tho Biibjoct, eho was olforod
an opportunity to Hpond six months at
tho vinoyards studying tho matter, at
terms so advantageous that she was in
duced to aocopt. In six months tho
book was wrltton, and MrB. Wait be
camo an authority upon California

Bonso of tiifito 1b bo developed that b!iu
can inBtantly toll Napa valloy wino from
Sonoma vnlloy wino, although tho two
vinoyardB run almost b'kIo by eide. To
koop her palate in this exceedingly sen
sitive condition Mrs. Wait takes great
euro of her health and never takes wino
when sho is nervous or exhausted. Sho
rarely bwuIIowb tho wino eho tastes, al
though sho bolioves in it for medicinal
purpoBOs and Bays that wino drinking
nover makes drunkards. Mrs. Wait is a
brilliant locturor and a charming woman."

Tha following letter from tho presi
dent of tbo gonoral fodoration was re
ceived a fow days ago by tho president
of tho Woman's club of Lincoln. The
resolutions to which it refers were
printed inTiiK Coukikk two weeks ago,
and thoir importance con bo judged by
tho fact that tho national president fol
lows thorn with this circular lottor, urg
ing tho women of all soctiong to tako
some action:
"Tho circular letter which has boon
sontout by tho chairman of tho indus
trial committee contains resolutions that
were unanimously adopted at tho last
biennial mooting hold in Denver. I am
Bonding you a fow lines to emphasize
tho importance of these resolutions and
tho BUggostionB made by tho committee
and to speak of the necessity for pre
Bonting them in a forceful manner to all
club women.
"Tho federation has become a vital
part of tho great historical movement of
this country, and the work it has ac
complished for tho cause of education
has made a pormanent impression which
will gather force as it continues.
"In tbo light of recent events notice
ably tho discharging of all women om
ployed in tho servico of a groat railway
system in tho west, and the attitudo of
labor unions toward wage-earning
womon wo must plainly boo that tho
time has como for united action among
womon for women.
"A groat struggle is going on in the
labor world, and tho working women
must play for her part in all its phases,
and bear tho burden of tho result equally
with tho mon.
"As an organization the gonoral feder
ation is a poworful weapon to be wielded
in behalf or this helplea3 and dependent
claBS, but in order to work effectively wo
must Btudy conditions, ecoIc to know
what is needed, and-then strive to be
come helpful in discovering and apply
ing the romoJy for the wrong.
"I hope, my doar Madam President,
that you will prosent this important
subject to tho womon of your organiza
tion, and I would uigo that as often ns
possibb during tho year you will en
courage your mombors to investigation
of outside conditions and discussions in
the club of this mopt vital question in
its rolation to tho present and futuro
influence upon tba welfare of society.
With fraternal greetings, Robocca O.
Lowo."

The following extract from a letter
from Mrs. B. M. Stoutenborough, ex
preeident of the state federation, needs
no explanation:
I have just reread your article on Mr.
Bok in The Courier. It is excellent,
full of meat and good wholesome truth.
As I sometimes appear on the platform
possibly a word from mo might be out
of place. One thing I do know, my
home is not noglocted nor its inmates,
and rooms are not left in disorder. If
Mr. Bok had heard the so called "plat
form women" in the Denver meeting he
would never havo written that article in
the January number or Ladies' Home
Journal aud it is with pleasure I recall
tho names of these queenly women who
appeared on our program at Omaha
October 11,12 and 13, some of them
from abroad, but Nebraska had reason
to feel proud of her own, as she may be
of the fact, so far as I knew, a Nebraska
woman 1b the first to arraign Mr. Bok
for hisunjuBtarticlg.
Come out to Nebraska, Mr. Bok,
breathe the good wholesome air that
sweeps ovor our prairies and you will
get a broader vision of things in general
and then breathe this spirit into your editorials.
Tho following paper was read by Mrs.
rhomos Murty.of Weeping Water.be
Tore the association of women's clubs
which met in Lincoln during the week
of tho Stato Teachers' association:
If the United States woro not in need
of good citizens there would bo no need
of our public schools, but citizenship in
this great land means all that is truest
and best in tho word. Citizenship here
means moro than itdoSsh, other coun
tries and it is largely owing to our grand
pubic school system. All honor to the
pub he schools and tho teachers in the
public school of America, for as the
teacher is.so must bo the public schools.
The very first education given the
baby teaches him that he must keep out
of tho way of others and that his wishes
arosubord nato to tho will of others. This
is the earliest le.son in good citizenship.
From his ie , evolved self-respect and re-
