One of the thines which the United States woman is supposed to have gone in for without reason is clubs, and one of the things which the progressive Canadian wom- an 1s wont to envy her American sis- ter is her club. But it seems that they ve no women's clubs in' this coun. try, or if so, they are not so numer. ous or so important as to be imme- diately discoverable. United States women, it is true, are continually talking about their clubs, and every enterprising newspaper gives up con- siderable space to the doings' of these bodies; but it appears. that the worl "club," in American feminine parlance simply means an organization, It may be a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or for advane- ing the interests of labor, or for pro- moting the studv and consumption of mushrooms, and it may. hv chance be a social 'club, though the last is vere improbable. "I expected to stay at the: Sorosis Club, while in New York," said the English visit r, "but was warned in time that_Sorosis had no roof to cover her own head and therefore gould not have the pleasure of entertaining me. Sorosis, in fact, in spite of her reputation as the mother of women's clubs, is not a club at all but merely a body of women who meet once in a blue moon for the purpose of boring each other with stupid pa- pers. 2» * » _ Of girls' clubs one hears a good deal in Canadian philanthrophic circles and nearly all the larger cities have such organizations. Thev are generally con- nected with the Y.W.C.A., but the largest girls' 'club in Montreal is carried on under the auspices of the women' graduates of McGill university Last ¢ o men's Christian Association and Kings' Daughters of Ottawa conducted a very successful girls' club. in the business centre of the city. A pleasant sitting-room was opened; not only to members, but to anyone who wished to come in, and every day at noon, hot "tea, coffee and cocoa were served to any whe wished lunch at the club. Classes were™ conducted in the eves ing. and occasionally entertainments were given. The club seemed to meet a need, and the "noon rest" was par- ticularly appreciated. This winter - the work will be continued on a larger scale by the Kings' Daughters. «+s + a The Daughters of the Empire have been making a special effort for six months to develop "the junior branch of the order, and are much gratified with results. Eight chapters have been formed, and before the winter is over chapters will be at work in most of the towns of the dominion.
