CHICAGO HAS A GOODLY NUMBER OF THEM. They nave Able Presidents Mrs. J. C. Ilaeket Stevenson, Coonley, Sarah A. ?Iirlam White and Ida Woolley Morgan. Chicago Correspondence. LUBDOM among aswomen has sumed such enormous proportions of late that not to belong to one or more organizations with a view to benefiting yourself or mankind in general is to tacitly acknowledge oneself dead to the world. The meeting of the Illinois Federation of Clubs at Peoria last month did much toward defining the position of these bodies in regard to various subjects which are of vital importance just now. Women have now had a chance to put themselves on record, with the result that their clubs have taken on a dignity entirely unknown to the worthy Dorpas societies which were their predecessors. And . fine-looki- ng MRS. GEORGE SHERWOOD. the beauty of these Institutions is that a woman in her time may belong to any number of them simultaneously, which goes to prove that they hear one another no ill will and their relationship Is quite harmonious. Only at election times is there any display of party feeling, and then it is not of a personal nature. The choosing of their officers, especially the president, Is a matter of much moment, and she must he a worthy leader In every respect, for as is the president, so i3 the society. In a great measure. When Mrs. John C. Coonley was electthat chair by the Womans club last spring it was by a flattering majority. The office sought the woman In this case and the choice In every way was a strong one. Mrs. Coonley is admirably equipped to be the head of Chi-- " cago's leading club, and combines wide culture with her many natural gifts. I inherit a taste for clubs, she exclaimed. My mother founded the first womans club In Louisville, and she Is president of it at the present time. Mrs. Coonley was born in Virginia, but moved to Louisville when a child. Her father was a stanch union man. Her recollections of war times include many exciting scenes which as a child she hut dimly understood. Mrs. Coonley is a busy woman, and her time is much taken up with different charitable and philanthropic projects in which she Is deeply interested. She is a member of the Fortnightly club, the Contributors, Twentieth Century, Amateur Musical club and the University guild, and yet she declares she is not a clubwoman by any means. Her particular talent finds expression In very graceful verse, which from time to time has appeared in different periodicals over her name. A collection of her poems, "Under the Pines and Other Poems, will be brought out in this city at an early date.

Princetons represents tives will go to Cambridge. The Lehigh faculty has announced a new system of dealing with absences from college exercises. Of the first class, comprising general exercises, such as church, morning chapel and gymnasium, there will be allowed thirty, absences during the first term and fifty during the second term. Of the second class, comprising recitations, lectures, laboratory exercises, etc., no Absences will be excused. Any student having a certain percentage of absences in any subject, to be known as the total exclusion standard, will not he allowed toj take the final examination in that subject, but must repeat it with the next class. A smaller percentage of absence, to be known as the paytiaLex-clusio- n standard, will debar a student from if he fails In the first examination. It has also been announced! that a third examination in any subject will not be granted. Some important additions have just been mhde to at the Uniof versity Pennsylvania. Theodore Le Boutilier, a student in the medical school, who was a member of the Peary relief expedition, has presented among others a cup and ball game obtained by him among the most northern Esquimaux. George E. Scott has presented similar games used by the Arapahoe Indians! It was rumored that Professor Ames, Harvards athletic adviser, has been called to the deanship of the Pennsylvania law school. The rumor is denied, and Provost Harrison says the matter is still under consideration by the trustees. Graduates of American colleges in good standing are received into German universities without examination for A similar privilege has entrance. never hitherto been granted them In France, where foreigners have been shut out altogether from some scholastic institutions and admitted to others only after stringent examinations, held often under conditions troublesome to foreigners to meet. There is a prospect now, that the French will do better. Statistics show that the University of California is fast becoming like unto the University of Boston. The number, of women students is yearly increasing, while the number of men is diminishing in an almost equal proportion.

She considers It a very moderate sort of hobby, but one that sfie indulges as much as her multifarious duties will allow. The West End Womans club is quite a youngster compared with its older sisters, having known the bliss of only three birthdays. Mrs. George Sherwood is the third president, and feels that there is no apology needed for her club, except concerning its age, a point on which the members are as yet a little sensitive. Mrs. Sherwood Is a patriotic west slder, having lived in that part of the city for over thirty years. All her closest interests are centered there, and all her charitable work i3 confned within that district. Mrs. Sherwood believes in concentrating ones time and attention. I dont think it a wise Idea to try to do too many things at once, she says. You can't spread yourself over a very large' territory and be equally thick in all places, and you cant make time enough to enable you to belong to half a dozen club3 at once.

Th Daughters of the American Revolution organization was not founded for phil- anthropic purposes, further than that its aim is to encourage patriotism among those who adopt America as their home. A favorite plan of Mrs. Kerfoots Is the establish ment of a branch chapter for the children of tto descendants of revolutionary heroes where appropriate readings, flag drili3 and such exercises as would tend to nurture a proper pride in their native land will be given. Sometimes a club achieves notoriety and occasionally it i3 thrust upon it. The Olio, which is a small assemblage of women, comparatively, with a membership roll of about 100 names, sent a representative down to Peoria, who, by ter emphatic remarks onthe subject cf partisanship, drew all eyes toward tbi3 club. Mrs. Miriam A. White Is tho of president, and is also the Chicago Newpaper Womens club-Mr- s. White is actively engaged In journalistic work and is associate editor of the North Shore Suburban. Her writings are principally confined to questions of the day, particularly those pertaining to matters sanitary, hygienic, educational and social.

The Kilo club has said its seven times one and one over, and each year finds it stronger and better able to extend Its field of usefulness. The noonday rest is an idea of this organization-whichas found practical expression and its popularity .amply testifies to the want which It fills. Mrs. Ida Woolley Morgan Is the president and one of tho charter members. Mrs. Morgan is In Chicago comparatively a New until eight Ycrk in lived having years ago.

Of all the clubs In the city the most wonderful, in many respects, is the Alpha, which, with its sister club, th Beta, numbers close on to a thousand members. They differ from all other-clubs- , inasmuch as there is no board of directors, no executive committees, nor red tape of any description. It is really like a dream club. Mrs. John C. Thomas is the president and founder, and the whole plan is to furnish, for a price so small as to he oply nominal, meals for workingwomen, lodgings for strangers passing through the city, or belated suburbanites, and to afford instruction in an endless number of subjects, from cooking to music and French, all to he within th8 reach of the very slimmest purse. I have had such a club as the Alpha in mind for ten years, Mrs. Thomas explained, but, not until my children, married and went away from home did I feel myself free to establish It. Them I had to convert my husband to tho plan. He was inclined at first to think, it visionary, but now he is as enthusiastic as I am about it. We have given up our home on Ashland boulevard and live right here, so I can give my personal attention to the work. The clubrooms In the old Athenaeum building are fitted up with all the surroundings that are met with in a refined home. Such a decided success has Mrs. Thomas made of her club that she has received an urgent call to explain its workings before the Southern Federation of. Womens Clubs. It is expected that similar clubs will be established in the largest cities in the south. Little Street Waif.
