If you are going to the Pacific Coast .Don't complete arrangements until you have secured information regarding the 'personally conducted excursions ..Via.. Among the progressive movements of the day, none is more significant than the widespread organization of women into women's clubs. One of the unique features of this movement is the univer sal approbation accorded it. Society has no quarrel with the woman's club, for the women who lead society are there. An occasional man ridicules the movement, but this is generally for the purpose of making conversation or to reproach an extremist. I am willing to admit that when a woman belongs to twenty-five clubs she cannot be of much use at home or of any acoouni to any club. More than all the intellectual stim ulus which each woman receives from club membership is the earnest, enthu siastic interest aroused in all matters pertaining to the elevation and beauti fying of home life, in municipal reforms iliBQt3fliBs in Eq w mm m B"?r Vp2tSv These excursions leave Omaha every Friday, in elegantly upholstered Ordi nary Sleeping Cars, illuminated by Pintech Light, Heated by Steam.

RON MOUNTAIN Route There i6 no doubt that one of the most interesting sessions of the Milwau kee biennial will be the one devoted to domestic science ' Mrs. J. D. Whitmore has been appointed chairman of this session and has hopes of securing Mrs. Fiehel of St. Louis, Mrs. Philip Carpen ter of New York, Mrs. Lamed of Syra cuse, and other notable demonstrators for this most important and practical science.
