Mrs. Heorotin in her annual address to the Gen eral Club says of woman s clubs: “The woman’s dub movement has been one of the educational factors of tbeeen tur *' Woman, being above all practical, and moat ofthec i uh , began work on phil aDt hropfc lines and they have enlarged their scope till the club calendars now em brace civics, household economies, educa tion, sociology, literature, art and science, “In many cities the clubs have formed federations which are usually divided into departments covering the interests of the city. Tbe village ^dolng and town improvement excellent work on the sanJe lines , and all te8ti f y m the growing interest of women in civics. When the older club members recall how jealously in the past club privileges were guarded, they will perceive from the advance made how rapidly the feeling of reciprocity has devel oped in the clubs. To women who live in cUie * ,h * seeming monotony of life in country places is difficult to J apprehend. A ^ berdab< to fhe , ry woman it u for Ufe with her rQni in a g^ve a „d she is in danger of dropping into the personal on all queetions, because she is not in touch with the actifi ties which are the power of life. Tbe club * axes tbe interest outside tne narrow life aad brings it in unison with the community lite, and through the state mid general fed e ration the community Ute come* into Dnit? wUh MtioMj Iife ... The life of Mrs. Poenon. who is one of the foremost women in tbe club movement de¬ votes her life to keeping boarders—some¬ thing new in its manner of business—called a ‘ family hotel’’ where all reform move¬ ments are put into practice. It seems that this dub movement has taken root everywhere in this country.
