There are clubs and clubs*—so many, Indeed, as to occasionally tempt the unwary Into be ing almost ‘clubbed to death.’ But such excess is an indlvidaul matter, and the woman who overdoes a club life would be Immoderate, whether she was running the sewing society at church or the sewing machine at home. Prob ably the record as a much-clubbed woman belongs to Mrs. Esther Herr- roan* of New York, who is a member of (Ifty-one efubs; but Mrs. Herman has time and money, and, moreover, a happy little way of giving one thous and dollars to one of her clubs every little while for Its philanthropic wojrk.

The open-air performance of Shakes peare which vraa Riven by the Ben Greet corps of acton In Atlanta re cently haa somewhat set astir ths In terest of psople all over the country to establish Shakespearean classes throughout the land and to present the plays once n year at a recurrept Sakespeafean festival. It has been suggested that the club woman take hold and put thla splendid work Into action. New York was named as the suitable placo to present the plays of Shakespeare, the performance to be given at the aaine time the festival la held In England, at Stratford-on-Avon. Ben Greet, the noted actor, could ca as he has made It a study, and versed In tho art of out-of-door plnys. Thla would be a decidedly Interesting field of work for prominent and well- known women, who could be the medi um through which all of the children of America would grow up In the per fect knowledge of Shakespeare. The result from such efforts would be high ly successful, and would also prove a source nf ever-gaining result,. THE DAY NURSERY. It has been suggested by some of the prominent club women the value and Importance of day nuroerles throughout a large city like Atlanta, a home where working women could leave small babies and children to ho cared for by good women and matrons, while the mothers mny attend to their business duties—with n heart and a mind free from worry about their little ones. In all of Atlanta, there are hut two such homes that can ho recalled, and one ts the Sheltering Arms home, on Walton street, which has hssn built and Is supported by as earneat a band of workers—foremost among thsm art the women—as could ever be found anywhere. A portion of the money which goes to keep up nn Institution Each year the women of the Sheltering Arms hold a restaurant during the month of February, and they try to realise an amount sufficient to run the home until the following year. . The other Is the Settlement home, which has moat capable women at the head of the organisation, where chll- in, dren are taken care of during the working hour* of their mothers. The club women are always desirous of placing good results In a community, and there Is surely no other grand cause where splendid work rould be done than nlong thla line of action. Take, for Instance, tha Sheltering Arms, only a few working mothers are easily within reach of this home, where they can leave their children ASHEVILLE, N. C. I Colonel nnd Mrs. Charles W.

Of fine Brussels lace are the blacks, either plain or dotted, some showing- borders of lace, others finished with double rows of thin black taffeta ribbon of Inch width between which Is set pn Insertion of Cluny or Valenciennes lace of similar width. ... In length, they are from 2 lo 1 yards, being draped around tha hat and allowed to fell straight all around like a curtain, the ends caught up In the back ahoulders. The adjustment of these veils should receive most careful at tention. else the whole effect will be spoiled. , , Those of white are made from a fine white or cream net and bor dered with fine lace and Insertion, either Duchesso or Chantilly. In the white, the veil finished with the pointed Instead of the square ends Is new. Of white chiffon, a 2-Inch pleated ruffle of chiffon la applied to the hemstitched edge. This Is worn the same as the thin ner veils, the long points reaching to the waist line In the back. In brown, the bordered lace vetla are extremly chic and go with a cos tume of any color.

Some of them are-even fltled up like small chiffoniers, with eno, two or threo drawers, while others hnve trays divid ed Into many compartments and curi ously shaped, to hold certain kinds of wearing apparel. There Is still another development nf the wedding box thot Ih partitioned off Into sections the depth of tho chest. With all these up-to-date Improve ments. a trousseau box of today resem bles but little the old-fashioned ones that hnve been treasured nnd handed down as heirlooms In many families, They were always thought to be par ticularly valuable, because they pro tected the clothing from attacks by moths—the pungent scent of tha wood being .il.J.'t, |..ii .in.- "■ - ."Ur- mid for that reason no other kind of wood was selected. This theory, according to a well- known furniture dealer, has been en tirely exploded, and now chests tire bought becau-e of ths beauty of the wood from w hich they are made, or for the handsome hnntl work used In or namentation. Though tha average chest bought now Is not any more expensive thnn the old cedar onea that were made tiy hand, the hand-carved boxes In mahog any and Flemish oak run up Into Inrge compartments. Naturally, there are women who still want to buy cedar chests and ara astonished to find tbut they no longer ara considered extreme ly valuable and ran be bought for from , five dollars up—or course, tint hand made ones—while tha least money that will buy a small Flemish oak chest that Is perfectly plain Is twsntr dollars. Practically the only points that are nd now the same between the old are the lines on which they pro made, for tha oblong shapes are at 111 used. The simplest kind of a cheat has h tiny border of le-ailing amiin-l the edges to relieve It from severity, and Instead of resting flat on tho (lour like a bo* there are small feet, plain to harmonise.
