women are not blue stockings, but
simply full-orbed human beings. From
my observation and experience I will
say that here the literary women are
much more literary than the men. I
find that the discussion of books is one
of the chief subjects with our young
persons; not novels, but scientific theo
ries like evolution, art, ethics, etc.
Many of our women are conversant with
naeckel, Wiseman, Tarde, Spencer,
to put on paper that we heroically, un
eelfbhly suppress. If the club women
were but. wise in their generation they
would congratulate themselves on what
we don't do, rather than complain about
what we do. I think we're rather in
the position of the little boy who
begged his mother, 'Mamma, please
don't spank me for swearing this once.
Just, remember bow many times 1 didn't
swear.' There's one other feature that

read George Moor-,
Thomas Hardy, a Meredith; that they
really get to the bottom of literature;
that they love it for its own sake. I only
wish the men were as. literary as the wo
men, but, alas! money-making is too ex
citing a game to be given up for the
harmless study of literature."
Mrs. J. B. Gietzen, leader of the lit
erary department of the Columbus Wo
men's clubs, entertained the members
Saturday afternoon. Officers were
elected for the coming year, the depart
ment divided into literary and histori
cal sections. Miss Lyda McMahon was
elected leader of the historical studies
and Miss Bessie Sheldon leader of the
literary. Mrs. Gietzen, the leader for
this year, has made one of the best
leaders of the Woman's club and her in
fluence has been felt throughout all
the departments. Mrs. Gietzen present
ed each lady with a tleur de lis, the
French national flower. The club has
Btudied French history the past year.
Quotations were read from hand-painted
cards, with the fleur de lis in one
corner.
The parliamentary deparment ot the
Chicago Woman's club has organized
its members for extemporaneous speak
ing. The leader ip a bright and ready
talker who is instructing the membeis
how to talk ten minutes consecutively.
The leader has told the ladies that they
may, choose their own topics,, only she
would rule out curtain lectures, dress
and reminiscences of their own children.
Every other subject from the Boer war
to cooking dandelion greens is per-missable.
The following cogent reasons for he
longing to a Woman's club I clip from
the Kansas City Star:
We. like this comradeship
The warmth of .heart we find revealed
Besides the brightness of. each mind
Puts searchlight, on our own, to find
If any thoughts lie nestling there
That we, perchance, with friends may
share
And though we find the little new
Is not arranged, but.all askew,
And small results our search attains
It clears the cobwebs from our brains.
I find that they impresses us about the clubs. It's their
George Gissing, feminine 'inconsistency. Mrs. Jones of
the 'Fuss and Feathers club' wants to
know all about the stormy session of the
'Gabble and Gossip club,' and Bhe will
be the first to buy the paper that
prints it in most graphic style. But
when her own club is the scene of a rare
and racy squabble Bhe is righteously in
dignant if tbo reporter's conscience
can't be cajoled into prevaricating the
facts."
ART HISTORY.
The Palmetto club of Daytonia, Flor
ida, has projected a plan for erecting a
building, where little colored children
may be taught and cared for vhile the
mothers are out doing washing and
house cleaning.
The New York Tribune has been pub
lishing a series ot articles ot. the occu
pations of woman which shows that
while there is a decrease in percentage
of those employed in the more laborious
occupations, still one-fourth of the wo
men employed are factory girls. From
these articles the Tribune has compiled
some valuable statistics under the head
of "What Women Can Earn." These
figures show that of the 4.000000
women in the ranks of labor, 65,000 be
long to the professional classed, as
against 14200,000 in the manufactories
Among the many bright women in
the New Yoik State Federation is Miss
Mabel Potter. Being a Lewspaper wo
man Miss Potter was recently asked to
give her views of club women from the
reporter's standpoint. It is the knife
which cuts sharply and to the very cen
ter ot the disease which brings relief,
health and strength. This may be the
result of some of the sharp truths she
expressed, and the free, yet tactful, ex
position she made of the vulnerable
points of clubdom. Its benefit may be
far-reaching, for what is true in one
locality is more or less true generally.
MiBS Potter said in part:
"There is a humorous side to the club
proceedings, although the members
themselves are so deadly, seriously in
earnest that it never strikes them. We
reporters, on the other hand, who are so
thoroughly in the.club world, if not of
it, are impressed most forcibly with just
that phase. It is fortunate that we are,
too, for it is the only variety that adds a
zest of enjoyment in our monotonous
club rounds. For yoiv must remember,
and 2.000,000 in domestic and agricul- ladie3i that goiDg to C;UDB aB a buBineBfl
tural service. The lowest wagbF are to
tbo shop girls, the scale of remuneration
increasing through the various clerical
branrhee to the highest paid salaries in
the learned professions. There is a
constantly growing conviction that it
does not injure a woman to become a
wage earner, when misfortune or ill
health overtakes the legitimate wage
earner of the family.
"Old Bichelor," who adds, "don't
print my name," writes from Greencae
ile, Indiana, to the New York World:
"Do women like literature? Well,
judging from this city, I should Bay they
do; but this town being a university
ton. may make it an exception. We
have no less than twenty women's clubs
here and all of them doing literary work.
All classes of women are interested,
from the girls to the old women. A
glance at the catalogue ot the public
library will show that mostot the books
are, of a Lnavy class, and an examination
ot the books will show that the clubs use
every hour in the day and every day in
the week, ae newspaper women must, is
slightly different from going for recrea
tion aa club women do! It is alwaya
possible, you know, to get too much of a
good thing, and a steady diet of eveu the
best of papers and addresses is apt to
pall upon one's taste. We get rather
an overdose some times. That is why
we do so thoroughly appreciate what
ever of humor there is in the situation.
Moreover it's our business to give to the
publicwbat we see. Just so sure, though,
as we liven up a report with a bit of the
humor which a meeting afforded, we are
accused of 'making fun of club women,'
and there is an immediate consultation
held on the advisability, of excluding re
porters from the session! Right here I
might drop a gentle hint to the. ladies,
that that's ju6t the way how not to do
it. A dozen reporters inside, let me
assure you, ladies, are ten thousand
times safe- to your interests than a
single onr shut out! I think one of the
most glaring impressions we get of, the-.
