WOMAN'S WORtD,

SOCIAL CLUB OF THE FASHIONABLE WOMEN OF NEW YORK.

Work of Two Young Should Newspaper W«bm Harry?—**®* Boy's Stocking*—gtjriUb gprta* BMUMI*.

OrriUag IU«d for Summer.

It will be interesting new# to most women that there is right to the heart of the city a completely equipped woman'sclub house that provide#

for

thegentkir sex

the accommodations, comfort* and social amusement*

gratifying to their tastes

as tins attractions thai their husband* and brothers

enjoy at

their various social club

bouses. Thi» particular woman's organization is the Ladies* New York club, which has been thriving prosperously for the last six months under the guidance

an enterprising woman president., with the aid

a man

look after the money

matters when need be in the capacity of club treasurer. The club headquarter# is the neat English basement brown stone front dwelling at 184 Lexington avenue, almost opposite the home of the late President Arthur. It is a four story house, entirely unpretentious externally, but it is safe to say that there is not in the whole town another club house that is more cozy and homelike, and its members claim that it is far ahead in this respect to the Alexandria, the woman's club of London, which suggested its establishments and the facilities of which its officers hare improved upon. These officers jure Mrs. Henry Wright Shelton, president Mrs. W. W. Hhtpman, recording secretary, and Mr. F. G. Brown, treasurer. The latter is a broker on the Cotton exchange.

The club was started4jarly last November, and at the outset had a membership of about twenty-five. President Shelton •aid that the idea of the club at that time was to afford to women of moderate means, who were living in the suburbs or out of town altogether, a resort that would duplicate the comfort and privacy of their own homes, whero they could stay for a day or two while on a visit to the city without escort. It was to be practically a hotel, but freed of the incidental discomforts that make a public house distasteful to a woman

By one of those whimsical freaks of popular fancy that is the privilege of the gentler «ex women of wealth took a sudden liking to the notion of a woman's club of this sort, and in a month's time over a hundred of them had joined the club and had made it fashionable. Today the club has a membership of about 850, and members are being added at the rate of from three to Ave dally. Of this number 200 are New York women, and, what is more, the majority of the 200 are married. They go to the club often in the afternoons while their husbands are down town.

The club quarters are divided into a restaurant, parlors and reading rooms and lecture rooms and dormitories. The restaurant is on the ground floor, the parlors and lecture rooms on the second floor, and the dormitories occupy the rest of the building. It costs a year in dues to belong to the club, and for the money a member can secure many privileges. There is an English cook attached to the club, and he will furnish meals at any time at restaurant prices to women who intend to go out to a matinee, and who do not like to eat at a restaurant. Theatre luncheon parties of this sort are, indeed, one of the popular features of the elub. Any member who wants to go out •hopping can get a special maid at the club to accompany her. Out of town members who are visiting the metropolis alone can secure cab service and other accommodations without the annoyance and bother of hunting them up for themselves.

The president of the club resides In the club house, and keeps it open both in the daytime and at night up to a reasonable hour for the use of members. For members living out of town rooms are provided at a cost of $1 per day. Application has to be made for them a day ahead. It is a custom for members to frequently bring their own maids with them, and taeals to order are provided for those staying there. Non-members, when accompanied by a member, can obtain luncheon at restaurant prices. Any member who may desire to entertain her friends at a luncheon party can have a private room for this purpose. Children of members may be Mi at the club house In csare of nurses or guardians whenever members want to go visiting Messenger service is provided: telegrams and letters, if addressed to any member of the club, are received and cared for is well as parcels.—Now York bun,

,'.m tb* "has W turn I'll nwd.

Helen Islin die has charge of a divisum of the Working Oiris' dub In Newark, the two young ladies take turns as prodding officers. Miss Win gives talks on practical cooking, housework, dressmaking, millinery and the purchase of flannels, shoes, bonnets, dress goods, furniture and the wisdom of economy, neatness, temperance and system.

Miss Potter can talk delightfully about the amenities and those sweet, simple, womanly ways that are better than beauty to a girl. She tells "her girls," as she calls them, the kind of books to read, the Hnl of associates to make, the kind of words to speak when foremen are abadive, comrades are unkind, employers are unjust and friends are false. She tells them bow to stand, how to walk and how to breathe correctly tells them bow to keep their hands from getting rough and how to care for their hair, sight, rWhwi, shoes, health and morals.

Miss Islin is a pretty, graceful girl, with brown hair and eyes, a sweet voice and a captivating little lisp in her speech. A little more interest of this sort from the refined young women of New York would be the salvation of oar shop girls. -New York World.

Getting Ready for Summer. Remet^er that these are the days when the early hot iron, the insect powder and the napthaline cube and other discouragers catch the early grub or moth fly. Napthaline is a pretty white substance, one of the latter day rivals to camphor for making woolens and furs secure. An ounce of prevention for the next week, by scouring out all closets and thoroughly beating the woolen clothes that must still bang there, until May is established in warmth, will be worth pounds of camphor and fretting by and by. Use a stiff wing instead of a stick for scraping in any cracks there may be. Some of the chicken or pigeon wings that, dyed in masquerade colors, have done duty in hats, could be put to no better use titan in these researches into insect life.

Also, do a great deal of brushing about this time upon the clothes you wear. From the street one brings in on the clothes quantities of germinating dust, and a thorough shaking and beating out of a window of all articles of the day's wear should take place night or morn ing, whichever is most convenient. Clothes not only look better and wear better for this process, but it removes considerable actively mischievous dust from the house itself.—Philadelphia Ledger- ________

The Boy*" Stocking®.

Down OH

their knees, unmindful of the

dirt, Tom, Joe and all the rest are happy playing marbles. This is fun for the boys, but the stockings all out at the knees which greet the mother bring to her thoughts of mending and patching which but few enjoy. A writer in Godey's tells how those unsightly patches and darns may be avoided by knitting new knees into the stockings. Unravel top and bottom of the rent until you have on each end a clear line of stitches, take up on a knitting needle the upper line then pull tight the jagged edges on cither side of the hole, and with a worsted needle and wool just sew them over very lightly and neatly. This done, you have a space to fill up, and you proceed to knit the row you have ready on your knitting needle until you have a flap of knitting done the exact size of the hole. Then take up on another needle the lower row of stitches, and knit it together with the upper row, on the inside of the stocking, just as if you were fastening off the toe of a stocking. Once more thread your worsted needle and sew the sides of the flap, on the inside, to the sewn over jagged sides of the rent, and, instead of an ugly darn, you have anal most imperceptible repair.

Tlirre StylUh Spring Bonnet*. Pale blue and black is the favorite combination in hats and bonnets of the latest importation. Here are three of them!

A wide brimmed bat of shirred kce, turned up at the back with an exquisite bow of pale blue gros grain ribbon, in the center of which is a tiny bow of black velvet ribbon drooping from this all over the crown, are bunches of pale blue sweet peas, with black velvet bow on the brim in front.

A Marie Stuart capote is of black braid, with fine wreath of pale forget-me-nots under the edge all around a pert looking bow, of pale blue gros grain ribbon, stands on one aide of the pointed front there is a smaller bow or knot of ribbon at the buck, from which depend the long ties of blue ribbon.

A hat with projecting brim, narrow at the back, is of black open work braid the brim Is faced with shirred pale blue crepe the crown is of black point d'eeprit over a puff of pale blue a* the back is artistically arranged a bunch of beautiful, nodding, pale blue tip*, from which depends a scarf, of the point esprit, a nurd and a half long, to be wound about the neck and fastened on the left shoal der.—Ladies' Home Journal,

Santord, the lady cut off a coot's bead with a rifle at 200 yards, killed an ea«le on the wing, and bagged thirty birds with her ahotKun. While on her wedding jonraey up in the Canadian forests, where it was her fancy to spend the honeymoon, die bunted side by side with fiyUaTM, who acknowledged her superior skill so she was a marvel as well as a rival hunter to the red men. It was an original wedding journey, and her life spent up in tbe wigwams of Canada was delightful. -—Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.

A XobU Charity.

The organizations for aiding the sick, needy and helpless in this city are numerous and generally deserving of confidence and support. Among them is one which is not as well known to the public as it deserves to be in view of the good work it is doing. It is the New York T^fnnt asylum at Tenth avenue and Sixtyfirst street. Other cities have foundling asylums which care for abandoned babies, but thin asylum aims to save the babies and their mothers as well Needy women of previous good character, from this city and county, are received for care. They receive the meet skillful medical attendance, and are treated with a kindness and Christian charity which frequently save them from desperation and abandoned lives.

This asylum is a home, not a prison. Its inmates are treated not only as human beings, but as sisters—not as enmi sals.—New York Press,

Where to Hide Your Money. Women have always had curious ideas about where to keep money when travel ing. I know one who traveled from New York to Florida with $2,000 between the sole of her foot and her stocking, and she slept with her stockings on. Another one always pinned her money just inside her corsets, until she was told that if she fainted anywhere the first thing a good Samaritan would do would be to unloosen her bodice and stays, and then some wicked Pharisee would discover the ducats and grab tbem. Since she has heard this she has taken to pinning the fortune to the back of her corsets, claiming that, even if she was taken ill, as she would be laid flat on her back, insensible or not, she would be sure of her treasure.—Ex change. _______

A Rapid Telegrapher.

Miaa Kittie B. Stephenson, who won the first prize of |50 for the ladies' class in the telegraphic contest in New York is said to be a hustler with a telegraphio key. She is only 18 years old, but the experience she has picked up during the last three years that she has been an operator has given her an unconscious confidence that is refreshing to behold. She has always been told that she was a very fast sender, but she didn't believe it. 8he entered the tournament to please her friends. She works in the city line department, and her fame as a sender extends to all branch offices in the city. —New York Herald.

"Women at the Capitol.

You meet numerous women with claims in tbe Capitol corridors, and there area couple of old ladies who have been here for a generation awaiting the settlement of a cotton claim. The claim is probably a just one, but congress does not get at it, and they will be in their graves before it is settled. Their faces were fresh when they came here. They are wrinkled now, and there are crows' feet at their eyes. They bring their knitting with them, and sifi together in the galleries waiting and watching, and watching and waiting, session in and session out.—Cor. New York Star.

She WM Smart.

A rich St. Louis widow who was engaged to a wealthy attorney recently tried a peculiar scheme with success. She sent for her betrothed and asked him to sign an ante-nuptial contract allowing her to keep control of all her property. He refused point blank, and she declared the wedding off, accusing him of mercenary motives. She had seen somebody she liked better than the lawyer and wished to withdraw in such a way that he would not be likely to bring action for breach of promise.—-New York Telegram. "Sunset* Hair Brought Oats.

Pontifical violet is to be worn still. It is uncommonly becoming to some women, and they will, therefore, be sure to cultivate the color with assiduity. It also shows off the fashionable "sunset hair- to great perfection. There is to be revival of magenta, too, so the tide eeems setting toward the resurrection of bright tints. With a little toning down, magenta can be made rather nice, a sort of "ashes of roses shade."—New York Journal* rrwMettt
