CULTURE.
A graceful custom of tho Chicago Cul
ture Club has been the extonbion, since
its inception, of full club privileges to
the wives of tho resident clergymen of
the city. A similar courtesy ie shown
to the wife of tho Mayor of Chicago,
who becomes honorary member by
virtue of her husband's ofiico So far
as is known, the Culturo Club was one
of tho first in tho country to make this
admirable provision. The club was
founded in 1805 by Mrs. Ella' E. Lano
Bowes, a well known Chicago woman,
whose services as one of the judges of
awards for the Department of Manufac
tures in tho Columbian Exposition
brought her into wide and deserved
prominence. At its first meeting seventy
women pledged membership, and the
object of the organization, to have a
course of lectures under the instruction
of a chosen leader, was begun on the
spot by Mrs, Mary Hunfort Ford, who
delivered an address on Victor Hugo.
At this meeting Mrs. Bowes was chosen
proBidont and Mre. Ford took tho olllco
of instructor.
Tho forming principle of tho organiza
tion was culturo in its broadest sonfie -tho
culture, to quote from its sontiment,
"that moans maBtery over self; politonoBs
charity, fairnosB, good temper, good con
duct." After over a year's oxiHtonco tho j
club waB reorganized, and became duly
ncorporated under tho laws of tho Stato
of Illinois, Its literary work has boon
marked from tho Hrat by a high degree
of oxcolloncn, nnd few literury clubs in
tho country havo listened to a liner lint
of lecturers than that enjoyed by tho
Chicago Cultur oOlub. Those, havo in
cluded addresses by tho most brilliant
writers and Bpoakors of tile country,
and havo embraced a wido range of
topics, under tho general hoads of Liter
ature, Art and Music. A Btrong interest
in both art and music has characterized
tho membership from tho beginning. It
is its pleasure to assist rising musicians
by bringing them boforo tho club, nnd
to aid artiatB by giving their work club
consideration. Salon days are hold peri
odically, with tho object of awarding
prizes.
While tho primary objoctof tho organ
ization iB tho promotion of intellectual
and social culturo among momborB, yot
a much broader interest iB extended;
and, although uot working in philan
thropic lines, as generally accepted by
tho word, in a larger eoiibo the aim of
tho club is to do all tbo good in its pow
er. Following tin visit to the club of
Professor Frissoll of Hampton Institute,
with sorno of his interesting putiils, tho
club founded, and ha since cordially I
supported, a scholarship at Hampton
bearing its name. Among tho honorary ,
members aro Harriot Hosmor, Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer, Mrs. M. H. Ford, and Mrs.
Virginia C. Meredith. The active mom
bers number now fully two hundred a
number that is impressivo in itself, nnd
is doubly so from tho standard of mem
Lorship sot by the club. Tho club has
bson a member of tho General Federa
tion sinco 18!)."), nnd of tbo Illinois Stato
Federation Binco 1890. Its motto, ''Vib
Uoita Fortior"' (''Strength United is
Stronger"), iB symbolical of hs member
ship and intluonco.

"it's Tommy Jones'. We've exchanged
for today. Bazar.

bafore ho left?
Second Waiter I should say so; ho
worked himself up in a regular stew and
then went out in tbo office and roaBted
the manager.
Collins I don't know how it is now
but Rollins used to think be bad a mort
gage on the earth.
Mollins Yes, and since he got a wheel
he edema to have taken possession.
