CLUBS AND THE WOMAN, Yt appears that the .New York club-woman is not yet prepared to be a jolly good fellow. At least, - not as the Union, Manhattan or Calumet fellows are. So fhe lately promising scheme to acquire the old Knickerbocker Club building and turn it into a centre . sof petticoated good comradeship is off the bills for ¢ present—and for an indefinite time to come. “If women are organized for nothing more than ~~ to eat and drink,” says Mrs. Cora Welles Trow, “let them break ranks at once.” That is the high ground of opposition to the great club-house idea. It takes account of “luxuries and faxities’’ which would menace the value of women’s clubs “as a factor in the development of the sex.” This is a line of argu- ment calculated to convince any sisterhood—especial- ly when conviction is as welcome as one may Sus- pect it to be in the present instance. * * * * The effective fact, however, is that the women . have suddenly found that they don’t need that club- house. It was just a dear thing to talk about till something came to change the subject. When the vision of cozy club sitting-rooms gave place to a per- fect dream of an Easter hat, negotiations were off. The hat was a necessity; the club-house isn’t. If a New York woman has time and the dispo- sition to lounge, she goes home and puts on a kimono. She has got the habit. If she must have a club euchre or lunch, the doors of swell restau- rants and hotels innumerable open wide. She can have a fresh room for every function. Why should she tie herself down to the unchanging routine of a fixed club centre, where there could be no planning of new costumes to match a new set of ~supper-room decorations? e ° * New York already has three clubs—the Woman's University, t!: Town and Country, and the Woman’s Club—where fair sojourners may pass comfortable nights. They are not centres of revelry, exactly. But they are mighty convenient to the out- of-town members, in which they abound, and they are equally useful to city members who, spending the summer or another season elsewhere, find it neces- sary to drop into the city for a couple of days. The word “useful” ts employed advisedly. There is noth- ing frivolous about these three clubs. What time for a stated abode of frivolity has a who crowds her gayeties into the brief Gaidisacortes to fastlonable seasons in New York? “Smart set” haste makes waste of the club-house idea. ** Nevertheless, organized. womarthood will continue Yo exist. will have, as now, leaders with purposes hove mere clab-houses. Hints of its opportimities for ‘usefulness do not fail to arrive. For Instince, here ts Margaret Hill McCarter’s word in the current gumiber of Civic Pride: further than the fmm@ilate Ctvio improvement goes gsighborhood. It cantemplates the genoral cleanliness, oom- fort and pleasure. To this end women's clubs may busy thenisetves as en auxiliary force to the powers that be. Whe streets cry aloud for a consideration of cleanliness, The park space bordering them {s available territory. The pub- Me pleasure grounds need more than contract care. Here 4# the woman's larger opportunity for promoting the general welfare. Streets need to be more then clean; they should be beau- tifa But of what avail is {t to keep clean road- ways bordered with bine grass If square rods of hideous gignboardn oppose their ugliness above them forever? Every woman's club is worth while {f !t does no more than to wage « crusade against the slgnboard. N either this appeal nor that of Mrs, Ben T. Hardin, a Kansas City club worker, that women shall interest themselves in city affairs, is a call to women to strive for the voting privilege. Mrs. McCarter, just quoted, recognizes the home as the beginning of good influences, even for club work. The most effective women’s clubs in New York will be those whose sphere of influence shall centre, not about a federation lounging and dining place, but about th federated healthful homes of the city. TWO RUNAWAY INDIAN BOYS. It is not possible for all Indians to be happy at once ‘Tammany braves are in tolerably fine fettle, with the Hall vn top, but there are two new redskins in town who smile not, neither will they be comforted. And this plight of the two lonesome Indians in Manhattan reveals gloo:nily how time works its revenges, Full oft has the dashing youngster of white skin set out for the West In good faith and high spirits to achieve undying fame in battling with the dusky savage, Almost invariably he has been vanquished by hunger and has returned from his first stopping-place without sight of further foe. To-day the shoe is on the other foot. The ) young Indians sojourning temporarily among us ran away from a Carlisle reservation and came to conquer % elvilizaticn at its fountain head. Even as : ine failej the brave boy whites, so has It neglected red boy braves, and hiinger and aeportation are their lot. ‘This Is a sad roi ance.

It Inn jand rather discon- rting fact that .poniy to children who have no dis riminating sense of ita value is the rift of unlimited tears bestowed. Women cry, to be sure, but they do it sparingly, gelf-con- sctously, with a la- tent sense of red S noses to come. To children tears are as spontaneous as laughter—and a child cries ag instinctively when its new painted ball disappears into the area of a strange house as it Inughed when first the part!-colored splendor became its very own There are a very few children, need- less to say of the little girl variety, who retain this gift of spontaneous tears after they grow up. The term “ory baby.” applied to them by mo stolcal youngsters In contemptuous 4 rision, becomes tn later life their glory and their stock In trade. The main difference between the tn fantile and the grown-up cry baby ts that the Intter has learned what may be tormed a sort of lachrymal economy -she does not w her tears on the desert air as a child dces—she must have an audienc: for the tears must have an effect on some one benides her- self to make them worth while Even on the rare occasions when she weeps alone she is her own audience. There is a part of her that weeps at the contemplation of her own Imaginary funeral, for Instance, and another part that notes the slow trickle of sensitive tears and takes an artistic delight tn them, For the ery baby ts rarely wholly sin- cere In her tears, and if she is of an introspective vein and indulges in the sly analysis which fs really but a sort does not take them too seriously. “Tears from the depth of some divine despair’ are exceedingly rare tear: They are @ luxury which despair does not often permit itself, ‘It 1s only when we ere very happy that we can afford to cry. For the after effects of prolonged tears are 0 exhausting to the nerves and brain as to prohébit their indulgence in time of stress when {t ts necessary to have our wits about us. ‘Tears are far more frequently the ex- pression of great heppiners thar of great sorrow.

A POLICEMAN, Body or Mindt To the Editor of The Evening World: In answer to the queation, "Does the mind rule the body, or does the body rule the mind?" the mind rules the body. Why? Because the mind ts a natural force which cannot be seen, but changes through cause and effect which cannot be prevented and that which cannot be seen or prevented.
