The time has long since passed when a special plea is needed for the
existence of women's clubs, for actual demonstration has proved their
worth to the individual and to society. Multitudes of women on farms, on
remote ranches, in little villages, in great cities, have felt their impetus to a
broader and more useful life. They have instructed those of limited
education; they have given a wider horizon to those hemmed in by
circumstance; they have trained the timid to speak, and, of late years, they
have prepared the way for women of leisure and influence to take up what
is called "the larger housekeeping," the bettering of social and civic
conditions.
But many women to-day still...
Living On A Little
At the Very Beginning—Dividing the Income
Mrs. Thorne laid down the letter she was reading and looked across the
table to her husband, who, as he was industriously engaged in buttering a
muffin, paid scant attention to her for the moment. Presently, however, as
he became aware of something portentous in the air, he looked up and
inquired:
"My dear, you alarm me. What's the matter? Has the bank suspended and

would you mind staying out of the sitting-room all this morning?" But this
Christmas everybody said these things twice as often as usual, and
Margaret wondered about it.
"Mother," she said one day, "if you were a little girl and every one said
'Run away, now,' over and over, twice as many times as other Christmases,
what would you think?"
Her mother laughed. "Well," she said, "I suppose I sho...
The Complete Club Book for Women
There is no difficulty in starting a club; any group of women who are interested in the same things may form themselves into a simple organization. But the great question will surely arise: What shall we study? And here club members are certain to divide into three distinct classes. The first group consists of women who have for years been absorbed in home-making and child-rearing. The world of books has been practically closed to them. The club to which they wish to belong must offer them an opportunity for self-development, one in which they will obtain the culture which comes from the study of art and music and literature; one where their hungry minds will be fed. But the group of youn...
