aroused.
HOW A ( LID l TAIITKtl.
A similar plan is followed in starting a
Working tiirls' sia-iety or club. If it is iu
tended to I founded upon the principles of
co-operation, self government and self sup
port. W orklng girla cannot Im forced Into
club organised In their Interests any
more than auy other people can la? driven
Into a siarial club. They wish to know
their proosrd trailers, and here friendship
must lie at Ihe root of the matter, lo
guard against the springing up of cliques
It is well to have Ihe early memia-rs repre
sent different occupations. Women of
leisure, teachers, saleswomen, clerks, slen
ogrnphrrs. ilrt-ssiimkers and mill and fac
tory employees It at the start there la a
mingling of these each will bring in
friends, and a sisterhood of women will be
tbe result, all interested in mutual alms
but coming from different surroundings.
Tb Importance of Impressing on member
their Individual reaotiihUiiy to th club
cannot bs too strongly urged.
In Kurope a working girls club could
not be started la-cause the principles of or
ganization are not comprehended as yrt.
In thia country organization Is understood
because wage earning women breathe lb
air of self government. Tbe class of girls
tbat come into the clubs are women wbo
are accustomed to Join other form of or
ganization, such aa la-urllt as-ietlea, lodgca,
sic. There are in this city an enormous
number uf wage earning women, prrbapa
90,ttU or 4O,0m, who belong to Ibe women's
bmnchna of tb Freemasons' organizations
and other societies, and in these they bar
already learned somethlug about the ben-
Ota of associations.
The rlulst are giving to girls an oppor
tunity, and are doing for uue class what
Soroaie, th Woman' I'reaa club, the
Wedneaday Afteruoou club, etc, are doing
for others. I'eople say, "Why do you give

There Is lb "other side," however. Ijilaar
organization say, "We are opptned to you
because you are making working girls
satutlsd with their lot," but ia there any
thing to regret in thatr
When people say ws do not touch lh
claa of girls that Uioat need help I feel
quarrelsome. Where are tbey f W bavt

I am asked by what right I am a mem

Mrs. Richard Irviu and others are admit

themselves one evening at a diacusaioo. It
waa decided that Mrs. Richard Irviu and
others were working womrn, but tbey
might be said lo be working with money,
not for motley. It la not a question of dol
