Womens Clubs in New York It has been discovered thatin addition to Sorosiswhich has now become an old story and somewhat prosy the women of New York have about twenty other full grown clubs not all of which have a local habitation but all of which boast a name and a raison detre says New York letter to the Philadelphia record Among these are Wednesday Afternoon club composed of severely literary and learned women of the philosophic and bluestocking bluestock-ing order the Monday club whose membership mem-bership is confined to fashionable ladies who go to church on Sunday and meet tho next day to get rid of their superfluous superflu-ous gossip the Kindly club which is composed of women who take a pledge never to speak an evil word of any one and which is not likely to ever prove popular pop-ular or powerful the Alexandra club which has a house of its own and never admits masculine visitors of which men suspect much but know nothing the Sociolocic club which follows the teachings teach-ings of Reverend Heber Newton and with him dives into the unfathomable and soars after the infinite the Clio club which always convenes at noon und confines confi-nes its members to the science of astromy the Enma Lazarus club for working girls a most meritorious institution and half a dozen Socialist and Anarchist clubs Who shall say scanning this brief list that this is notan age of progress or that the once gentle part of creation is in any danger of losing what it called its rights
