WOMEN ARE FOR GOLD

A NEW YORK CLUB PREPARING FOB AN ENERGETIC CAMPAIGN.

Special AppraU to Be Made to Women Interested in Missions and to Foreign Domestic Servant*.

On€ hundred women in- this city are doing some work for sound money, says the New York Sun. If Mr. McKinley doesn't make his inaugural address on the 4th of next .March from a (platform with a gold standard 'foundation, it •won't be thc-'lr Ifaul't. They can't vote themselves, and ifchey don"t want to, but every womran Of 'em is doing what she can to influence Tier voting friends and relatives 'to down Bryan and it he ifhree R's, repudiation, ro-'jbery and revolution, which are the main underpinning of his platform.

These women iform 'the .metmibers-blip of the Busiines-s Women's Auxiliary of the Women's National .Republican Association, which meets every Monday wight at the -quarters of the S!t. Nicholas Republican ClU/batOne'Hundred and. Sixteenth street 'and -St. Nicholas avenue. This auxiliary was organized a year ago Iby Miss Helen Varlck Bos-fwel-1, state org'an-lzer for New York. IBeing a (busine-s's woman herself, M'.es IBoaweJl recognized .what a factor business worn en are (when they ipeague themselves toge'ther to fight "for or against any cfaus). iHer face -lighted up, her eyes began to sparkle, and Iher tongue fairly flies when she begins bo tai'k ab-out the work that these young business wom-en have done and are doing in politics. 'They've smarted 'already," she said to a (Sun reporter, who asked when t'he ReqT4blloan 'women would begin their Campaign woirlk, "or at least, the 'Business Women's Club has. This club would really be & revelation to most men [ilf 'they only 'knew something about it. ffit is only a little over a year old, b-uit it is a lusty younigeter and makes its presence 'felt. Its growth has not (been at aHl phenomenal a a to muralbers, for we started out wjth nearfly a hundred niame's on the roll of membe re-hlp, -brut 1 :never fcnaw an organization otf women to increase so in. strength. Every member in 'this clulb Sis

working woman. They are employed Jn scores or offices, or are in lbu,s.ine?3 for t'hemselves, and they havenot taken the •cluib up as a fad. Business' 'women, occupied ifrom early 'Monday m-ornrnig un't'il S'aturd'ay evening, do*not do that, a3 women of leisure do. When t'hey are wl'l'lin-g—•yee, even more than that, anxious—to devo-te one evening out c-f each otf their workaday weeks to the study of hard facts, it (shows a spirit .o'f development that is •broad, that is bound to carry some weight. "Every m-nmlber ie «tn actual student o'f the money question ifrom an economic st-andipo-int and all are therefore particularly-interested in it as the v-itai Issue o'f the ceimlp-algn. These girls have ooTn.e to realize that the best 'politico is founded on eic-ono-m-ie-s, and have iwc-r'-ked out their own .salvation 'as it were. At ea^b .of their weekly meetings hold during the winter one otf t'he ivuiniber revad a paiper bearing on some fi'mely political topic, and in the animated dite'cuss'ions which always ifol-IkAv-ed t'hey put many questions to /Mrs. Cornelia tS. 'Robinson, whose services have 'been invaluable to these girls and ito myse'ilf. Mrs. (Robinson "answered rtheim from a purely economic and I tfrvm a .purely political standpoint. They gave u.s some knotty (problems, and ,\ve had to study very hard to keep ehough ahead to be able 'to-Answer the'm. Too much cannot be said of Mrs. (Rclb'ln'FO'n'.s work with the members. She organized ithem into classes and they Itook a regular course in political economy under -her immediate instruction.

Systematic Rrtueatlon.

Fortumate'ly from the very start they were Interected in ithe money question, and now their knowledge on this subjeicMs such that they feel t'hat the money wh.ioh th'ey -earn mu.st be -equal to the beaic' money in' the world they feel1 it hat if or tJheir day's laibo'r t'hey 'must receiive doi'iars whiioh contain 100 and not 53 cents. T'he'y know that while t'he igovernimenlt can say t'hat 53 cents is one tdol'iar it cannot 'make 53 cents equtal dn punchasinig ,pcwer to one dollaT. Indeed, these tousin.pas women, so t'horOU'gWly und'erstaind that, in the event cf •success of the silver party, tihe prices oif all of tlhe eomodifies t'hat are to them nefoe'ssities will proiportiontateiy rise as •the ipu'rtehiasing ipower o»f t'heir money deicrea.ges, that t'hey are anxious amd deitenmined to fight for the maintenance of the (goid standard. "Mr®. Catherine Lane is president of t'he ciulb. iS'he Is a business 5VKma.n, and is perfectly in touicih with wageearning' women and their needs and aims. Her work is such, tlhat She is •brought in. conta/ct with 'many of the •leading state politiaians, and tfrom them she haa picked up a greaJt deal O'f valuable knawietige. &he iis an exlcellent executive officer, and her meeting's are pushed right through in the most busi-ness-like manner. Miss Parent, a stenograij'her, is the recording secretary. STie is a Iginl oif ndomiita.bie energy. Her minutes of tJhe meetinigs. are models in it-he ir way. iMre. A. R. K.i.pp is t-he correspondimg ®e.cretary. One would presume that 'her duties were light, but £he has hundreds of letters to write. Women from far and near write to the Business Woman's Ciub for inifortmiatiiioin and advice. Ait t'he regular meeting Ihe'ld Monday niigiht she .read a letter from Mr. (Hofbart, nominee for vtoe president, .to the alulb, in whiclh foe said Hhait he was marsh ipleased to learn that they were interested in tihe money question, and that he felt that they, as business women, wound ha/ve weight and influence to tih'is campaign where tihe wage queslt ion is stake. He urged tihem to continued effort, and t'hey were much gratified. "As I said Ibetfore, these girls have a3re'ady opened their campaign, a nd they did it in a father novel way. Very recently t'hey ganre an o-urtirag at Bronx iPa.rik one Saturday aifiteraoon. Each member invited her imen friends, and I ne\neir saw a set of women ocemfbTne JpJ-easuore and business with *co much tact.' They are active in every way, go about "having a good (time with as mudh earnestness as tihey do th-eii-r fbusi«ness. After tihe ifleai&Uires of sSgrh-t-seeinrg and a picnic luxncheon t'he ®irls musiter«d their forces in (the big- pavilion aod speedh-making began 8n earnest. Theiy turned their outimg Iff to a regular gold standard ratifloatlon meeting.

A Practical Woman.

One of the meet prominent Republican po'liticians in th.is stat.e remarked as M'!»» (Bostve-l'l walked out of t'he RepufcC.ican 'headquarters the ot'her day: "There goes t'he mast ingenious WOT.an, whem it comes to devising an.'lad'vancjng a system of management, that I've ever known." "Why?" -asked the reporter who was ipre-se«nt. "Aek her what Irer .tw*x last schemes tire for tJie Republican women when it comes to active cam-paiign work," he answered wit'b a 4aug%. "'Dcn't call .them schemes," said Miss Bo-swell when the .re pocter really didput the question to iher. "They are a part of .my campaign plans. The Rcpub'lkuin women take .part to a presf'd'cntial campaign th.is -year for the first time, ar,d: they realise that they have entered t'he field when a very hard figJi is on- We want to do the m-ost effective f.ar-readhtog work that we can in a quiet way. I lie awake mights 'thinking of ways by which we can reach t'he -most voters, and I've about de-aided thait the 'best way is through the womein. "It may sound strange, 'but we shall •begin .by doing a 'little home mission-' airy -work iin the foreign missionary societies throughout .-the state. Evew fhose Wiho are violently opposed to fore'lgn missions must a'dmit the fact t'hat thouBan'ds and thousand's are deeply •interested in this branch of church work. The Metihodi'St Church alone sent over $1,000,000 In money out O'f this country to be us-eid for missionary -work last year, and I believe thait that -isn't tihe strongest c'h-uireh in .mi-ssiontary work, either. That s'hows w^iat a hold it has on people. Ev«ry o.ne knows that every little town has its foreign missionary society, am-d that -the wpmen. meet there every fortnight or -every imont-h, .mix plea-sure wlt.'h their business, and save up their money to sendoff to foreign lands. The men are usually as much -iin-teres-ted in the -wo rk a© t'he women, .though they are rarely ever active .members of :fhe societies. "N-ow, w.hat 'd-o we propose to -do is to put a 'leaifle't -into 'the hands of -the •leading members of every foreign missionary society to thtts state proving to them -that if free silver does carry It will cut t'heir wortc uSown just one-, h-alf. They will uiAghly quick take anactive interesit in preserving the pres€T»t s'tand'ard whe-n it ts brought 'to •their attentio-n that iif it costs $1,000 to keep a .missionary iin China for a year -now it. will cost $2,000 then, for China is one of these pa.yaibl e-i n- go

Where t'hey find that the showings •resultlm-g from a year's stiinitlrng and se'l'f-saicri'fi'ce will amount to only ome-«half they wiil'l thinik twice -before the-m embrace Ithe 53-cent dollar. Of c-ourse we expect to reach the men througth .the women-. "The 'domestic wa.ge earners In this country form a- large voting element, and we ipropose -also to begin work among the servamta of t'hi# city. Who ever .heard' of a cook or upstairs girt' who didn't ihave a 'steady,* provided! she didn't .have a husband? An enormous sum of .mdney is sent out of America every year by foreign' domestic servants.

WATER TRICKS SUGGESTED.

How Expert 8 wl miners Hay Faralsfc Amusement For Their Friends. iShere Is -no end of trictos a clever swimmer can do in water. Then there are spo-rts and games played on rafts or -water shoes, log trolling, thigh -diving water ballets, polo, and hockey. The moat popular apart at preaesnt, however, is Bhoot-lng -the "chutes," or waitex toboggan.

More An the amateur's lime Is hockto® on -the water a ball and (hookey clubs are necessary, and ttt-tle "boajts" for the feet, which are kept on by a traps, something like anowehoes. Quarterstaff iis another water game. If the players don- sailor aunts it adds to their picturesque appaaram-ce, trousers, say, of bu-rikey red twlU, with red. sailor collars on it heir white shirta amd red bands on -their hats. 'Water tricks, or "ornamental swi-m-mtn„" are useful on .two aocounts, to amuse yourself or to amuse others, suggests -the New York ©un. Often friends accompany a swimmer as spectators, amd What 4s the oonsequence? After the baJther has 'been swimming aWhtle 'tihey -are (tired of it, and no wonder. They become -restless a»nd fldgetty, and keep demanding, "When are you coming out?" Bmt if tlhe swimmer u-n-derstabids a few tricks it .will muse amd) interest his fitHen-ds more tbain almple swiimml-ng ever could dlo. They also teach the -bather nerve and pluck.

Of all water figures the most laoigb-a-Me is what of "turnitag tihe siplt." Here are -the directions:

ILie on the waiter -as tbough about Ito float, -then, drawing the ksnees up to the chin, place -both hands beneath t-he knees, back to back, and move them gewtlly backward and forward, by degrees, i'noreaeing the speed*.

Do mot 4-n this feat Jet exoitement run away with your judgment or you win gft -giddy, and giddiness in -tihe water is a serious matter. I^eav'e off directly when the ifeaAt symptom ap* pears.

The boat figure fte a pretty oae, as It ie suppoeed 'to represent a boat supplied witih mo oars.
