full of Information in regard to the
technlc and composition of the pictures
from an artist's standpoint.

Clubs organized for the purpose of
helping others, rather than for promot
ing the selfish interests of the members,
are growing In .numbers over the country
and thus is the altruistic spirit being
developed.
The Chrysolite club of Chicago Is an
other instance of this sort of Avork and
Is unique, in that it has for members
men, women and children. "Lend a
Hand" Is the watchword, and. In addi
tion to many small charities. It furnishes
and maintains rooms at the Jackson
Park Sanitarium and the Model Lodg
ing House. The members have endowed
a bed In the Chicago Orphan Asylum,
and they support an emergency nurse for
the Visiting Nurse Association. They
made and donated about 500 garments
to that organization last season.
The question of furnishing better
homes for refined women who earn their
own livings Is one of Interest to all wo
men in cities.
This question appears to have been
successfully solved by the society for
the care of women's health. In Russia,
which has decided to build a hotel ex
clusively for women. Womn will build
the house, own it and llveyn It. This
scheme isd'nitrrlltcoffie of agita
tions made by the women'sVShts party
In Russia, which is strengthening daily.
The new hotel will be locatfd In St.
Petersburg. Shares will be Subscribed
for In the foVm of rent for rxYms. At
the end of tea rears the shares M have
been paid up and tenants will be at lib
erty to sub-let their premises. This Is
on condition that the under-tenant also
be a woman. An arrangement regarding
this hotel which would not please Ameri
can club women is that men will not be
allowed in it not even as guests for
luncheon or dinner.
The suffragists of the state are push
ing the bill pertaining to the property
