The president, Mrs. Thompson, presided. Nine members were present. Mrs. Johnson gave a very concise and comprehensive review of two chapters of Prescott's Conquest of Mexico," which constituted our reading of last year. Miss Plimpton, in a carefully writ- ten paper, took us on a Balloon Trip to the Klondike," or at least she represented our worthy president as contemplating such a trip and the other members of the Club as deeply interested in the undertaking. A description of the country and interesting facts concerning the recent discoveries there, were brought out by imaginary conversation. A large map of Alaska made the journey more instructive. The roll call was responded to with quotations from those present, and the reports of current events led to interesting discussions. Some of our club members seem especially interested in the political tangle of Greater New York, and are eagerly watching the papers for further developments.

It is the only club organized and carried on for and by young women for their especial interest and benefit, as a social, literary and business organization There are hundreds of young women in this city who come here for the purpose of finding employment who have but few acquaintances or friends, and to whom the club organization would prove invaluable, both as a social and business factor in their comparatively isolated lives, and there are also many girls residing in this city, engaged in more or less exacting occupations during the day, who would find in this club association, social intercourse and sympathy that would lead them to nobler, higher views of life, for humanity grows dearer, being learned the more." The objects of its organization are, To as stated in the constitution, emphasize the dignity of labor, and the necessity of thoroughness in all work. To promote union and good fellowship among all working women, and demonstrate that the real sisterhood of women exists only in recognition and of the true interests of all."

What clubwomen wait for, and what we promise so-call- ed to receive in all humiliation and weigh carefully as the issues of life and death, is the article showing the mistakes of the club movement, written by a woman who knows exactly This has what she is talking about, not yet been done. Now and then some woman rises and remarks that n and would she is not a not be for the world, but she thinks With serious-minde- d so and so, etc. people such talk ought to receive the same consideration that a woman would get who prefaced an essay on the higher education for women by saying that she knows nothing about the subject and would not know anything for worlds. To have the gift of a power of observation is a good thing; but on no other subject than the club movement can a woman get a hearing who has only that to recommend her, and who proceeds to show that she has not even exercised it properly. In short, ignorance of the actual facts of the case is club-woma- well-cultivat- ed |
