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. In addition to this club
union the Twentieth Century Club al
so invites other organlzatlor -
