The Twentieth Century club of Du luth, Minnesota, Is practically a city federation, which centralizes the ac tivities of all the women's organiza tions of the city. It owes its exis tence largely to the unselfish zeal of Miss Mary B. Statham, who spent a winter in Washington, and made a study at that time of clubs in general and of the workings in particular of the Washington "Wlmodaughsls." The excellent work accomplished by that society inspired her to carry home if possible, some of its leaven to Du luth. The club was organized on the 8th of September, 1898, with eight de partments and an auxiliary, and it counts several hundred members. It admits all clubs of Duluth that have a membership of thirty or un der, these clubs to enter as units but individuals to have full power to vote. The clubs thus entering form sec tions in the different departments, and their club life is in no way changed by joining the new club. Clubs under thirty in membership enter on the payment of three dollars, one dollar being exacted for each additional ten members.
