i ITS WOMAN’S CLUBS.

BUT IT WAS ONE OF HER OWN sex
WHO DID IT.

 

she Says Members Are to Blame for In- ,

accurate Reports and Cites Cases in
Point—A Breezy Paper by a ‘Voman
ReportermNoSyinpathy With Theories.

The addrcs: given by Mrs. Josephine "
Woodward before the Ohio Federation ‘

of Woman’s Clubs has aroused con-
siderable interest throughout the
country. Mrs. \Voodward is on the
staff of “The Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune,” and her subject was “\Vo-
men’s Clubs from a Reporter‘s Stand-
poin. ” She said in pa1t:

“Newspapers lie so much—you all
say we do; we all know that we do—
that the prospect of being permitted
to speak the truth for twenty minues
looms up before me with all the seduc-
tiveness of a wild dissipation—a. mad
orgy—a debauch. I shall revel for a
few moments and then hereafter I
shall know whether you mean what
you say,whe11 you wish from the bot-
tom of you1 hearts that newspaper
reports could be depended upon.

“I would like to call your attention
to the fact that the title of my paper
is “Woman’s Clubs from a Reporter’s
Point of View”—not the reporters’. I
don’t wish to interfere with the in-

finence of mv sisters of the press by

making them in any measme 1espon-
sible for my own opinions. I will only
use one prop for support—the express
ed 'belief that the Cincinnati clubwo-
men, to whom I am indebted for so
many courtcsies,-'I1ut more :than every-
thing else, whose friendships I enjoy—
will at least guarantee that malice has
no place in my heart. I in only a poor
stupid fool who believes in’ the doc-
trines of laziness and the religion of
happiness, and who believes that the
greatest success in life is to love every-
body worth loving and to have every
body worth being loved love you, who
believes that it is better to eat a
piece of your cake every single day of
your life than to save it up until the

end of the year and find it stale—only .

"‘ a poor, weak-minded peIson who
would rather be pleasant than prcsi
dent—even of a woman’s club.

“Don’t mind what I say, and partic
ularly when I say that newspapers do
he shockingly and never more so than
about woman’s clubs. Once a long
time ago before clubwomen had
taught me 110w to lie cheerfully and

glibly, and bef01e I had taught my-
self the value of silence. I undertook

made it a practice in reporting club
proceedings to simply find out what
the president of the club or the chair-
man of the department would like to
have said, and then say it. It simpli-
fies matters immensely.

 

. MRS. 'Josnynma woonwanu.
“The club reporter is apt to incline
to the :belief that women’s clubs take

themselves too seriously. The dif-
ference between women’s clubs and
men’s clubs is that men‘s clubs were
never intended to be serious, but have
always been taken seriously by we-

men while women’ 5 clubs are serious, ,
but have never been taken seriously:

by men. Most women’s club meetings
are like most American dinners and
afternoon teas and other set pieces of

our social system—absolutely lacking

in a certain quality of gay, good-
humored daring and full of a conven-
tionalism that is both material

ments of sociology and municipal gov-
ernment presiding as if they were serv-
ing little cakes and weak tea.
club reporter has to do something
every single day of her life, and so
she must be excused if it sometimes
seems to her that the clubs are satis-
fied with infinite nothings—that they
miss opportunities that the members
fritter conversation, and stare super—
ciliously at all expressions of original
thought. The club circle doesn’t al-
ways seem to her so broad and vol-
uminous as it does to you; but as I
said before. there may be something
wrong with her eyes.

“To confess the whole truth, the
object of women’s clubs bewilder me.
and their solemnity appalls me, and I
don’t know why they want me to tell
so many fibs about them. I have been
reporting club meetings for four years,
and I am tired of hearing reviews of
books I was brought up on. I am
tired of amateur performers at occas-
ions announced to be for purposes
either of enjoyment or improvement.
I am tired of suffering under the pre-
tence of acquiring culture. I am
tired of hearing the word ‘culture’
used so lavishly. Culture seems to
me like 11m out which sheds its hurt.
I am tired of the essays that let no
guilty author escape quotation. I
have been unhappy over the spectacle
of celebrities-meu of genius—convert-
ed into club women while being on-
tertained as guests of honor. You
must pardon a. club reporter if she
hasn‘t much sympathy with theories;

ing very slight in some instances.
Mink and sealskin, seal and sable, and
seal and chinchilla are very fashion-
able combinations. One very odd
cape of Alaska sable has a Persian
lamb yoke, very carefully fitted and
1finished with fully six fails on each
'shoulder. High fur collars, faced on
the inside with fulled cream lace,
which continues down the front in. a
jaibot or ties like a scarf, are very be-
coming.

A little pointed cape

is simply no end to the novelties in
fur. A m-ulf with the head of an ani-

iother is shown as new, which it cer-
tainly is, but the usual muff is large
and round, with or without a row of
tails across the front.

Woman should not be tempted by
the display of fancy kid gloves to bc
sern in many shops. They are hope-
‘lessly bad form. The Parisians are
the best gloved women in the world,
and the style of wearing suede gloves
in white and delicate shades of tans,
greys and browns prevails among
them from year to year.

Long coats are more worn this-win~
ter than they have been in years.

Fancy muffs are far finer than ever
before. The prettiest are made of a
combination of marabout feathers,
chiffon and flowers. They are pretty.
but .a muff of mosquito netting, un-
lined at that, would serve just as well
so far as keeping the cold out goes.

The latest fad is for a crush belt of
broad velvet ribbon of brilliant hue,
such as burnt orange, yellow that
would shame a ripe lemon, bullfight
red and blue that makes Yale blue
pale before it. These belts, unfortun-
ately, are only suited to very slender
girls, because they are put around the
waist in front, crossed in the back
and fastened in front with a. fancy
buckle. Velvet has a tendency to
make the, waist look larger. and cross-

1 Pastry for Mince Pies.

A light, rich pastry can be made

lwith half a pound of butter, and six
‘ounces of lard, to every pound of
flour. Rub the lard into the flour. ad-
ding a little salt; make into a smooth
dry paste with cold water. Flour the
pasteboard, roller, and hands. then roll
out the pastry into along oval shape.
Place a. third“ of the butter on it in
little (labs, dredge with flour, fold in
three, and roll out again. Use another
third of the butter, and proceed as be.
fore. After the last portion of butter
has been used, set away the pastry on
ice, or in a cool place, for half an hour,
before the pics are made. For these,
grease the. tins, which should not be
too small; roll out the pastry to the
thickness of the eighth of an inch. line
the tins with it. Partly fill with
mince-meat, wet the edges, put on the
cover, and make a hole in the top to
let out the steam.

Need of Safety Valves.

A high pressure life calls for pro
tcctive measuies, and the woman who
engages mind and heart in 'her 111112}
pose, even though she may not be
classed among public workers, in-
stinctively seeks her safety valves.
These are peculiar to her individual-
ity, and suit, as she imagines, her

needs; but sometimes they are not al- ‘

together chosen wisely, and are often
overused. The intense na-tuie with
the greatest need of letting off steam .
is the one who will make the mistake
in this direction. Action and reaction
will be equal with her. The home of
such a woman is often a place where
tragedy is frequently enacted. Her
neivous system, wrought upto a point
bordering upon frenzy, her mental and
physical energies following its lead,
there comes a moment when the strain
must be relieved or mind and body
will give way under the great weight.
It is not an easy thing to acquire
the habit of withholding the worst
from the dearest friend and showing
him only the best, but is possible.
when the heart is right and the pur-
pose has even a. germ of strength.
One brave, gentle woman, full of the
fire that would have early consumed,
her but for her wise use of safety
valves, confided to a friend her ex-
perience in trying to relieve the ten-
sion of mind and spirit without giving
discomfort to those Whom she loved.
Her piano became her abiding friend
Whenever she felt the need of letting
herself down from a too Iliighly strung
condition. She played off her feelings
and gradually found herself calmed
and rested. And there were times
when a favorite poet offered herself ‘
as guide into the realm of restfulness,‘
and step by step led her on to the

heights where she found repose. The *

woman with mental resources and
with wise discrimination will learn to
choose her safety valves with refer
ence to the comfort and peace of the
home, and ‘will thus find a gain in
self—respect and in strength of will.—
M. E. Baldwin, in Home Life.

 

A Cheerful Room for Nursery:
The nursery ought to be the prettiest

says a writer in VVoman’s Home Com‘
panion, with ample receptacles for
some attractive pictures and a

A small aquarium is an object that
gives great enjoyment, and it is easily
managed. I prefer a tightly drawn,
well-tacked-dowu tapestry carpet upon
the floor, if it can be taken up and
steam-cleaned semi—annually, and
properly cared for between whiles; for
children are always tripping over rugs
and hurting themselves. For the rea-
son that sharp angles furnish danger-
ous points to fall against, tables and
chairs should have rounding edges.
The first considerations are health,
safety and comfort, after that, pretth
ness. Clear space for running about

fall and winter days when outdoor ex-
ercise is an impossibility; and on these
days it is well to put on the little one’s
bonnet and coat, open the Windows
for half an hour. and invite him to a
brisk game that requires plenty of runs
Provide a low
table and chair, where he can sit at
ease with his toys, imagining himself
lord of a little realm. This conceit is
one that children delight in, and it is-
a very harmless delusion—not alto—
gether without opportunities for
wholesome lessons in the way of box-
pitality and kindness to others.

Raising Trout for hiarket.

The monetary requirements to grow
trout successfully ate small, so than:
any boy can build what is needed from

few simple and easily iemembered
instructions. He will find a. ready
market for his entire product. Some
claim that a trout can be grown in
three years to weigh a. pound. but it
is safe to say that it will require near-
e1 foui yeais. much depending upon
conditions and food supply.

The conditions for successful trout
culture are a proper water supply and

I ponds or vats so constructed that the

trout may be controlled and the ponds
or vats kept clean. If the water sup-
ply 1is from a stream then they must

. be so constructed that no high water

or freshet will ever endangei them
If from a spring, so much the bettei.
Of the two plans, I much prefer the
vats,‘ as they are easier to care for.

uild the vat fourteen feet long, four
feet wide and four feet deep. Use
inch boards, but make the joints tight
and use two by four for‘the bottom
and sides. Such a vat will hold a
large amount of water. The founda-
tions must be even, and if the sides
are banked up with eanth it will give
material support. From the upper
end of this vat notch down one foot
by tWo feet in width and into this
build a. trough or raceway fourteen
feet long, two feet wide and one foot
deep. At the othei end cut down for
the outlet six by eighteen inches and
cover with one-quarter inch wire
grating. In each corner of the vat
bore a two-inch hole, and cover with
a trap that can be raised. This is es-
sential, as it makes it possible to clean
the vat at any time quickly and eas-
ily.

Build a covering for the vat of lat-
tice work, roof shaped. This can be
locked, but at the same time you can
see your trout. The raceway should
be covered and fastened. Into the
raceway put small pebbles. An inch
stream of water will take care of a
vat like this into which you can place
a thousand yearling trout, for if the
water is cool and has not been so
spread out that he sun’s rays have
destroyed its vitality, a small stream
will take care of a good many trout.
for after the water has fallen from
the outlet of the vat it will have acr-
ated itself and can again be used in
another raceway and vat. Once each
week a shovclful of earth should be
thrown into the vat. The trout like
this, and you will see them dart
through it, seemingly to free them—
selves from any parasites that may be
adhering.

objectionable. One of the best foods,
if it can be obtained, is live minnows.
The trourt will take them as they
want them, and thrive. As you can
readily dispose of trout at $1 per
pound and always find a ready mar-
ket if within shipping distance of
New York, you will have a business
both pleasant and profitable—C. I-I.

A WOMAN AND A LAWYER.

Wllerein the Latter Proved the Exception
to the General Rule.

“Speaking of conscientious service
on the part of a lawyer,” said the citi~
zen who came to Detroit when young,
and is now past his three score years
and ten, “I want to tell you what was
done by one who always stood high
in the esteem of the bar. He had gone
through college and taken his leg.l

 

ward settled in an interior town of
Pennsylvania, where he grew wealthy
by looking after the legal interests of
mining and manufacturing corpora—
tions. Part of the property left his
wife at his death consisted of three
thousand shares of railroad stock that
had cost but little, and had been given
in return for professional work. The
widow did not know what to do with
this part of the legacy, and so she
sent it to the Detroit friend of her late
husbamd, and asked him to dispose of
it on the best terms he could get.
“When the shares touched 70, be
wired her that he thought it time to
sell, and asked an immediate reply.
Woman-like, she wrote, instead of tel-
egraphing, and in the meantime, the
lawyer concluded to sell, receiving a
$210,000 check in payment. But tile
letter, when it arrived, told him that
the writer had been informed that the
stock was likely to go to par, and that
she preferred to wait. The lawyer
succeeded in buying the stock back.
Meantime, she received his letter tell-
ing what he had done on his own mo-
tion, and she at once replied that the
sale was acceptable and would he
Here
was a dilemma. but the lawyer had a
conscience that was as good as his
friendship. He sold at 67 1-2, made up
the $7,500 difference out of his own
pocket, absolutely refused to accept
any commission from the wife of his
old chum. and sent her the full $210,-
000, just as though the sale at 70 had
stood. And yet the world has a way
of laughing at the idea of honesty
wmoug lawyers.”—Detroit Free Press.

Hiding the Dirt.

It cannot be said that the oyster im-
presses one as being a cleanly creait-
are; yet he dislikes dirt, and gets rid
of it in his own way. In the hollow
of most oyster-shells will be found
dark blotches, the size of a fingernail.
which look not unlike blisters. These
spots seem to be a. discoloration in the
Ihell. Tine silvery surface is unbroken
over them, though the black or dark
blue places bulge slightly above the
surrounding white shell. Touch these
spots with a fork, and they are easily
broken, showing a layer of shell of
tissue-paper thinness covering small
masses of mud, which may be scraped
away until, beneath. the ordinary
white oyster shell is reached.

 

An Erroneous Diagnosis.

After breaking into’a doctor’s office.
relates the Cincinnatti Enquirer, he
sat down and said: “Will you kindly
look into my eye and tell me what is
the matter?”

“Certainly," was the .quick reply.
Then the physician opened up the re
fi'actory optic and began in a hurried
manner: "‘I see at a. glance that you
have been suffering from kidney
trouble. Your liver is also out of
order, and there is danger of you hav-
ing an attack of gastritis unless the
