CIrls' Club la Franc*.
French mothers hare been rather horrified to hear that the first French girls club ever known has just been started in Paris. The Institution is under the patronage of Mme. Marguerite Durand, the editress of the paper which is entirely written, set up, printed and managed generally by women, "La Fronde," and that energetic lady is quite determined upon making the club a success, in the face of cavaliers and scoffers. For some unknown reaBon the mere idea of an "Association des Etudiantes" is considered intensely funny on the boulevards. In ether conservative quarters it arounses virtuous indignation. The ladles who started the club had an extraordinary experience when they began house-hunting. Not a landl' would harbor such a subversive i. Atution as a Girl Students' club. One appeared more venturesome than the rest at first, but when it came to signing the lease his courage failed him and he backed out. Premises have now been rented in a building belonging to a scientific society, which holds its meetings in another part of the house, and situated in the Rue Danton, a stone's throw from the School of Medicine.—Chicago Journal.
