THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. S A'IT III»AY, JII.Y It 11 Club Work Discussed Th# following »ketoh Is a part of the article written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and appearing In the Womnn's Home Companion for July. It Is un der the head of "Has the Club Woman Supplanted the Church Woman?" Within the memory of living men there were no women’s clubs; but there were churches everywhere, and their constituency was largely of women. Today we have thousands upon thousands of women's clubs, each year Increasing their number, their mem bership, and the Held of their activi ties. Some fear, therefore, that the Church will lose her main support, and be left neglected. It Is a pitiful thing, this protesting and complaining of the Church, that such ami such people will no longer malntafn It. We hear first one outcry and then another, "Why do not young men come to church?" "Why do not working people come to church?" And now even the women are suspected of disaffection. The Church must prove Its place as a leader of life If It wants followers. We are not half ns much Interested ns we used to be In what may happen to our personal souls, and not a hundredth part ns much In points than we ever were before In learning and doing our whole duty on earth. "Lines of work" of our federated clubs form a program of culture, pro gress and As briefly enumerated In the list of the General Federation, they are these; Literature, Household Economics, Education, Philanthropy, Social "1 nomlcs, Finance, Music, Current Ics.

Citizenship and Progress, Public Schools, Review of New Books, Rest Room. Penny Provi dent Fund, and one club so heterogen eous nml Irreconcilable that it an nounces “Every member chooses own subject." This tremendous array of topics Is what our women's clubs study. This wide, varied and useful work Is what they strive to do. Their service to the community Is great and growing, and the uplift to character, the broader outlook, the in crease In courage and power of 'the woman herself—these are beyond measurement. Those who criticise ami decry our women In these bands of progressive workers have nt best a nar row vision. They compare the neces sarlly limited achievements of these amateurs with the highest professional efforts, and then ridicule the women for their shortcomings. whereas, if our highly specialised professionals really did all that needed to be done In these lines there would be no need of the nmateurs' attempt to assist. The work of the women should be measured not by the special of doctrine; but we are more Interested lsts ahead of them, but tho years of " ‘ *- * ' “ Incapacity behind them. The women are coming forward to do the things that need doing In the world, and learning how by persever ing efTort, In genuine American fash Ion. Here is a body of women numbering hundreds of thousands, usually women of middle age (of one club In Massa chusetts It Is said every member Is between fifty-two and elfhty-two yeara of age), all reaching out to eerve hu manity. Even where the purpose of the club to eeKktatprovement, that en larged and enlightened mind Is of see vice to all It touches. How can It be said of work like this that It "sup plants" church work; or that the devo tion of tha woman to Iter club sup plants her devotion to the church? It Is true that certain of the clubs In our wide Hat study the Bible, and others ethics, and others practical re ligion, but If their churches had been meeting every want In these lines wa would not have started clubs for them. These beginnings, often feeble, and sometimes laughable, are but the first steps In a long ascent; In an awaken ing of women that bodes well for the world. Quite apart from this long roll of honor, this rich and growing record of good work done, and more continu ally undertaken. Is the effect of the new associations and Interests on the character of the club woman. Here Is where the piping voices of the past complain In utter Ignorance ot the facts. Venerable men, with their boy hood's prejudices all untouched by tho enlightening years, bitterly nssnll this vaBt and constantly Increasing gather ing together of women, attributing to It an Influence most Injurious. What they have In mind when they speak of women’s clubs Is a little hard to see. Certainly not the groups of earnest, studious or philanthropic women, linrd- worked hous'ewlvcs for tho most part, who form tho main body of our Amer ican women's clubs.

Sym pathy with the oppressed and nffltcted cothes naturally from one pressed and afflicted; and the religious sisterhoods show always woman's in cllnatlon to charity and service. These are philanthropy, education and social service. To do good, to grow wiser, to Join In-civic progress— these are their principal purposes. As the home-bred, home-bound, home serving woman comes Into this new atmosphere for the first tlms the effect upon her moral nature Is such as ought to please anyone anxious for human progress. A new conscience Is developed In club- work, a new set of virtues, and these qualities are precisely those need ed to live most usefully In the world. The woman at home has a husband to rule over her,'or, as sometimes hap pens, for her to rule; she has children and servants to manage; but she has no equals, no fellow laborers In the same field. When she does mingle with her kind In visits or entertainments, she Is giver or receiver—hostess or guest—but not on an equal basis. In the club, for the first time In her life, she finds herself simply a human being among others, united for some common purpose, and measured only by personal quality. She Is not daugh ter, sister, sweetheart, wife, mother, nunt or grandmother. -She is Mary Junes, and Is liked or disliked for qual ities hitherto uncalled for, qualities greatly needed to make the world what Peebles, tllilostz: Mrs. William Tift, Ttffon* Mrs A. 0 Granger.

In convention as sembled at St. Paul has been amusing herself and Incidentally other people with on clnborate game of "bluff." She has been "pretending," as the children say, that there Is not such a thing as woman suffrage. At any rate, no nice person would think of mentioning the word. Yet, although the word occurred on > program, nnd Jhe subject was studiously Ignored by presiding officers and director* the question of the vote underlay all discussions and was Indeed openly brought forward by many speakers, while any allusion was In variably cheercil to the echo by audi ences of club members. The only lively discussions there were skirted round the forbidden theme. Nay, whenever In lobby or lunch room or during the few hours when the ladles turned from "frivoll ing” seriously to ''frivolling" frivolous ly, and a knot or two or three were collected together one was sure to overheat, "We don't want It,” or "We need It badly," In a decided tone of voice, or from a feebler sister, "I'm afraid It's coming nil the seme,” while the Wyoming ladles, secure In their thirty years of enfranchisement, smil ed a satisfied smile and seemed to tnko more nervous of the sisterhood by lloanting their own jIM.,, I privilege ‘ before tnelr very- eyes and eara. Wes the subject pure food or child labor, even during a session on legislative methods, some speaker was sure to find her way round to the con clusion that little permanent good re sults would ha accomplished by the federated clubwomen till women had the ballot. When speaker after speak er recited the stupendous labor that goes to the achievement of every tiny advance, even the last new traveling library, of tho letters, tho petitions, the persuading of men to do Indirectly what women ought to do for them selves directly, one gasped over such wests of energy. Yet If you ask the average clubwo* voinan suffrage. the body ts cannot touch Can not touch It? Why riddled with It, and to one who reads the signs of the times the St. Paul bi ennial Is worth a dozen suffrage socie ties whose members echo only on# on- other's views.

Hines, tha present president, has had a steady, healthy growth In Interest, en' thuslosm, membership and results. ■ The ladles have built an artistic log-cabin club house. It Is half sur rounded by a'wide veranda upheld by rustic cedar posts, and contains two inrge rooms separated by folding doors. There are small paned windows, nnd old-fashioned stone chimneys with great wide, open fireplaces , A well- stocked book-case, A piano nnd easy chairs are among the many attractive furnishings. A matron Is Ip constant attendance, nnd the house, open to the public every week day, forms n resting place for II red out-of-town shoppers. The grounds around aro beautiful with shade trees, n velvety turf, a rus tle bridge and plants. The club motto Is: “Non nobis soltls," and the ladles strive to make It some thing mors than a mere platitude. They respond to the financial demands made upon them by the general federation nnd slate workers. They allow the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy free use of their rooms for meetings, and lest year they took charge of the exhibits In the woman's department of the county fair with great success, nnd have agreed to do Mcaulre Roach, whllt yet In her teens, had her work accepted by various magaslnsa, and she Is scarcely over ■ he twenty year mark as yet. She portrays human life In a most de lightful manner, and Is a wonderfully bright, attractive woman.
