tion of clubs to be held next autumn in

dining room. It is through the efforts
of Mrs. P. S. Peterson, chairman of the
household economic department that this
Is to be accomplished. Mrs. Peterson
says:
"The tendency of the club Is toward
the real, the actual things of life and the
woman's club should be the home of ad
vanced kitchen thought as well as of the
other subjects that engross the club wo
man's mind today."

to talk to the club upon the subject.
"The American Girl in the Home." She
was listened to with the closest attention
for an hour, after which a half hour
was given for general discussion.
She thought the plain, simple things of
life were the most important and were
usually neglected in the home and school
training. , , ,
She strongly advocated the teaching of
the fundamental principles of domestic
science, ventilation and sanitation in
the rural schools, and the graded schools
of cities, beginning with the kindergar
ten, as children cannot begin too early to
absorb such useful information.
She spoke with great earnestness as
this Is her life work. Three months of
the year she spends In a normal school
at Aberdeen, South Dakota, fitting
others to teach these things in an ac
ceptable manner In the common schools.
The rest of the year she travels from
state to state addressing farmers' insti
tutes and kindred organizations, urging
the necessity of this kind of Instruction
for both boys and girls as a foundation
for other branches of study.

since its organization eight and a half
years ago.
An open meeting of the club will be
held In two weeks.
Traveling art galleries are a feature of
work of the Illinois State Federation of
clubs. Of this the Boston Herald says:
"Interest In the traveling art galleries
instituted by the Illinois federation Is
extending to other states, and letters
have reached the committee In charge
asking if the galleries could not be sent
out of the state. Two very Important
galleries have been added this year. The
first contains thirty-three original water
colors, loaned by well-known artists, and
twenty-two etchings. The second gallery
illustrates art as applied to the home,
and Is In two divisions. The first con
sists of a portfolio of wall papers, color
schemes for rooms, and examples of rugs
and textiles. The second contains five
portfolios en these subjects: 'Architec
ture,' 'Sculpture,' 'Technique,' 'Dutch
Art,' and Trench Art.' The last-named
portfolio was a gift from the Kilo club.
The galleries are sent to any club that
asks for them, the only expense to the
borrowing club being the express charges
one way. A certain number of books
are packed with each gallery for study
of the subject matter and the pictures,
and the committee has published in
pamphlet form an outline course of
study on art subjects. The fourth annual
directory of the Chicago women's clubs,
just Issued, shows a total of ninety-five
clubs In that city, the first Issue, pub
lished four years ago, showing but sixty
six. Nearly all of the clubs mentioned
in the first directory are alive and pros
pering." Women in every part of the civilized
world are rapidly making their way into
occupations formerly regarded as belong
ing exclusively to men. says Leslie's
Weekly. Nowhere Is this more evident
than in the cities of the United States,
where women are employed in almost all
kinds of business establishments. The
feminine Invasion has not In the north
ern latitudes as yet extended to the ac
tual operation of street cars. In Val
paraiso. Chill, however, women have en
tered into even this field. That South
American city is well provided with
horseenr lines, hut while the drivers are
all men, every conductor on the many
hundreds of cars Is a woman. The
cars are double decked structures, and
are often crowded. But nobody except
the conductor Is allowed to stand on the
rear platform. This the woman fare
taker has all to herself, and besides she
is not obliged to stand all the time when
passengers are few. as there Is u com
fortable seat placed there for her use.
The conductors of Valparaiso wear a
sort of uniform, consisting of a navy
blue gown, with a white apron and white
plastron. They have proved themselves
efficient, and are treated by the travel
ling public with respect. Women were
first employed in this line of work dur
ing the war several years ago between
Chill and Peru, when men went Into the
army in such numbers that there was a
shortage of them for peaceful pursuits.
By the time the war had ended the wo
men hnd firmly established themselves
In this new branch of labor. They work
for lower wages than the men would de
mand, and there has been no attempt to
oust them. Whatever conservative peo
ple may think of the Innovation, it can
not be denied that there are many wo
men engaged in callings whose duties
are far less agreeable than those. of a
street car conductor.
At this time, when the Woman's club
is making plans for the work of another
year, some extracts from an address
made by Doctor John B. De Motte, be
fore the Indiana Federation of Women's
clubs, will be of interest as It contains
many wise suggestions. In the first
place he advises all women who have
time for It and from the tone of his
article I think he believes that they have
a right to the time, to belong to two
clubs. He says:
"Let me call the first of the two clubs
to which I have referred, a Personal
Preference club. If I could talk with
you for thirty minutes, I will agree, by
the luster of your eye. the cast of your
countenance, the taper of your finger,
the definition of your gesture, your
figures of speech, and especially the ad
jectives you use, to tell you what one
thing you like better than anything else
in this world. It might be art. or music,
or literature, or some special author In
the great field of literature, or poetry, or
some great philanthropy, but there is
something you enjoy the doing of better
than anything else, and you owe It to
yourself and others to Join hands with a
few congenial souls, who, too, have a
fondness In your special direction, to
study deep and long, and to call into
your midst on occasions those who can
inspire you to the choice development
along the line of your personal prefer
ences." The second Doctor De Motte called a
Civic Duty club, and In his remarks he
enumerated several important objects of
work for this club. The first mentioned
Is "the place that Intercollegiate athlet
ics enjoy In modern education."
"There is no denying the fact that ath
letics have gone beyond the control of
the average educational board. What
was Intended at first to be only secon
dary has become in many institutions the
chief business among the students and
faculty. Intercollegiate athletics are a
moral waste of valuable time. The same
amount of energy would master a lan
'guage. put an art at one's finger tips,
enable one to specialize In some line, al
most to fit one's self for a profession.
As now conducted, athletic sports are not
intended for a physical development of
students in general. If your son Is under
size, or lacking In physical vigor, he has
no hope of a place upon any intercolle
giate team, but If he is already unusual
ly robust, pressure Is brought to bear to
induce him, often against his will, to
Increase his already abundant physical
strength to the detriment of his mental
