English vromen, like Englishmen, poKsess a taieut for enjoying the advan tages and comforts of a club thafc their Arnerioun sisfers know nothing about. An EngliKh woman's club is first of all a convenieueo, a soothing lnxury, an oasis in domesticity, a quiet, independent uoük, wfaere the last bouk or magazine, a enp of good tea and a half hour's idle talk aro all to be enjoyed. Secondarily and only occasionally does she use it for mental iinprovement. She is not overfond of haring herself warned, thrcatened, coaxed or derided in ber club's sacrwl precincts by a series of meinbcrs who cherish opinions. Neither does she wish to go to school in her club, since she asks of it rulaxation, not sultivation. Now and again she requests Eome person of recoguized ability to oome and talk to her in her clubrooms on some special topic of current interest. She likes a vigorous debate or a clever recitalion at intervals, a little good mnsic and an annual dinner. Thoro are a half dozen clubs of this sort for women in London, and another in Newcastle has been oponed recently for a mission fiiiuilar to that fuliilledby the London clubs. There isbutonosuch organization in all New York, where women still have an idea that the word club is synonyniou8 with self improvement and uot small personal comforts. -
