Well heie Is a case In point which Illustrates whut the practical club can do. Two years no the wnlei In tlicen HldRc, the court end of Sciiilltnii, became so thick and hlRh llnvored thai coinl'oilahlv thick soup (oiild he made by the meie appll cit.on of beat and the addition of salt. One day a woman's club of the place, nfler studying hygiene and sanitation, asked If the foul condition "f the water Mm a necessity. Several iiicmbera took t upon them solves to examine the wat r shed of the city's supply and heie thpv tound the most levoltlng ondltlons. The Until icsnlt was n "lining up of city officials, and the Miichasf. and ledemptlon of the water linl at n cost of tfiOO.000. This Is the -oit of thing that Is accomplished by the woman's eltib when It undertakes practical woik." Now, the most silt prising thing about this statement, width leally rends very well in the (Yiituiy. I- that the above effort of the Woman's t lub in question was leully its swan song, s-o to speak. "The dog It was that died," In other wotdo, the dub was the Innocent agent In a big water deal, which made a lot of money for somebody, not one tent of which act I ned to the dub, nnd then the said club peaceably and uii ostentatiouslv, g,ie up the ghost. It teit.iinly did get a thange of wntei, .linvevet. Uveiy blessed member found out that her water lent was piomptlv lalsed. It was unnoted that .some of those' most intcipsted in leforni hud been thieatened with ,1 water famine, when they entnietl to lemonsti.ite mildly about the maikel pi Ice of this com modity. The Home fot the Filendless, which had paid about MOO a ,enr for Its watei supply, began to contemplate t ills.istious pud to Its long and appai t ntlv nsulnl taitei when the bills sud denly leaped up to sums ranging be tween ttt and $40 tneiy month. The little imnsites bad suffeied mildlv with meiisles. 'tin let fever, whooping tough and dlphtletia. nndei the oltl and pol luted walei sstem, but tliey had eliph tlieiia, wnooping tough, scailet lever md measles mole 01 less diseoniag ingly tinder the new and wmltaiy ipglme. ami etlous (oinlctions weie cntei tallied by some nifmbeis of the management that liequent bathing would bine to be eliminnted fiom the schedule on nctount of the expense. Theie we-e ("((lent in the flreen ltidge section ol the city who weie lust like lesldents In other places. They would iiithei c'llnk watei which con talnetl luiklug typhoid teer genus nutl other awful possililllties than to av a lew dollaisa eai more foi that w hit h was alleged to he immaculate and Ine pi oat liable in cliaiacter. The howled. Their 111 st cousins uie in eeiy town, .ho woiiltl lather have a tapnt lous and convenient cesspool in the It out nie than to pa a sewei asvc.sonK.nt. Tlien tlie dull had a little excursion and basket picnli one day, and made up its mind that the water supply which tbev had v earned alter and vouched lei. and w lilt li tliev had inno t eutlv nsssci tt d to jt. as nit e and clean as wete the milk j.ns in a t ei tain daiiy establishment, was it-ally and tiuly like ,c lady a Ith a past a little open to suspicion. Then theie was mole tumble, which included -peec lies, hint feelings, explanations, ;i geneial house-cleaning and tli-iufei ting all along the line and finally, pe.ue. The peace bus lasted In tuibiokeii chunks- evei since. Why-.' Well, loi no leaMiu on eaitb that could applv to men's clubs. Men don't lead this col umn, and Iheietoie I teui me gleatly that the linn .ll to the tteatlse under dlsc'U".slon will be lost. The tine and only leason for the peute and nion olony following the outhuak which lias lauded u on the S.Viid page ol the t"eiiluiy .Maga.lne for Octnbei, is the nattn.il modesty and iinassei tlveiits.s of women. .'olmd would be piesldc-nt ol the clul) tills ear and nccoidlngl.v It disbanded tllst onsolntely. The lensons Tssigued weie ns varied and plctui -stue as weie the est uses of the inill ilclunN In the Hlble, who weie bidden to the feast. (It ih.it sloiy hud been Miywht-ie el-e iiuiltr the sun than In ae Ililtlo. I should have doubted Its lobablllty. I never knew a man yet vho would allow such a tilvlal excuse as getting a new yoke of oxen or a wile to Interfeie when theie was a banquet In piospect.) The members of the club In question weie olnluiato In lefuslng the honor to seeuie which, women In other cities squabble and weep and tear down leputatlons. All of which goes to show how very dlfterent and very siipeiinr we nio tt the women In other cities, it Is slnceielv to he hoped that our fllouds and iclatlves nppieclate us at our tine w oith. Imagine a woman anywheie else than in Sc Linton admitting that Mie did not feel herself competent to con duct the affairs of such an Important Institution as this cuh had pioved it nelf to he. Imagine any other woman c onfesstng that her husband would not like to have her accent the position or that she felt her duty to her home nnd her church left her too llttlo time for the pioper lonsideiatlon of the olllce. The amount of the matter is this: Pel Hilton does not seem to he a Rood Biound for women's clubs, i uin not Pino tliut this Is a compliment to our city, Neither Is It conclusive pioof of Antedated Ideas and lack of progress It Is n lltttlo of both. Mrs. L'andee hays theio nie (lasses of people who iCRnid women's clubs with Indlfteience. They me the so-called roclety women, who do not feel the need of lnteiestannd amusements to A GREAT SURPRISE It In tlorc for all who use Kemp'j Balsam for the Throat and t-ungtt, the gicat Buarantceel rimed'. Would jou believe that It li old on IU mcrlli and any cliuggldt la authorized by t,Q proprietor ut this wonderful remedy to gl0 j0l, t Minrla bottlo frcc-V It never lilU (a iuie acute or chronic coujli. All clru;tUtii tell Jvc-'i nj Is j in I'rUe He. and 60c. till In their time nnd who have many Individual charities which respond to the Inner dcslro for work which tuny help olhois. This Is not altogether true of our city. The society women nre the ones who seem most to recognise the need and ndvnntagcs of certain kinds of clubs. The icnl difficulty In the way of mnklng Scrnnton n club wnmnn's city Is the hopelessly steadfast habit our women seem to tmvp of minding their own business. They nre not cnthunl ostlc over reforming the entire world. They nie capable society lenders, are Intoiested In church nnd chnrlty work, but prliniully they look well to the ways of their own households and do not seem to find much leisure for taking cute of other people's affairs. They n to little Inleiested In politics, and If It weie announced that the city offices were to he filled with women It Is veiy doubtful If enough cnndldntes could he found to make It Interesting, and they would scnicely represent the Intelligence and cultuio and executive ability of the community. But as far as that goes, the majority of offices In any community aren't filled with such ri'iuesentutlves. The sciapplng nnd wire-pulling and henit-burnlngs which are evident nt the Federation of "Women's clubs, such as that at Heading this week, do not appeal to our women ns they seem to appeal lo women In most cities. Most of these gatherings of women nre char actei bed by Incidents ns questionable ns those which anlmnte a fuslonlst convention, or any other nssemblnge of professional reformers. It would he a great honor to hold nn office In the state Federation, or to have a free trip ns a delegate lo the General Federa tion In Los Angeles, but we cannot seem to keep a club together long enough to secure any of these plums. There Is a field In this city for a woman's club, one that will not try to do everything from Inventing a patent to utills'e yellow dogs, to solving the rhlnce pioblem but one that will be In Its way a civic club and yet which will have ceitnln aspirations tovvatd ideals of llteiature and nit. Such a club could start In a humble way to improve the city hv plncing galvanized linn receptacles at street corners for waste paper, and hy patiently nnd per severlngly working at plant to beautify the river front and make It something better than the symbol of a noisome pestilence. Tt Is a thousand pities that the Green Kidge Women's club has disbanded, for it had nn excellent organization of foices which would have accomplished many things In this city. Tt should be levlved. with a wider scope, to take the dignified place It deserved In our t (immunity. Saucy Bess. THEATRICAL NEWS. I.MIIVI "Mi, Itoli While." Afternoon md night. ACAIII.MV.
