WIDELY DISCUSSED.
Tho "Confeaalor.s of a Club Woman,"
the author of which ha chosen to remain
a mystery, even to her publisher, Messrs.
Doubleday, Pave St Co., haa excited some
lively dlacuaalon In the clrclea of aoclety
with which' ahe frankly and knowingly
.deals. Speculation aa to her Identity
la stimulated by the relation In her book
of soma real occurrencea In the life of
certain, women's clubs, and also because
th- book appeared at a time when the
"'b life of women Is under animated
diacusB'isn, owing- to lta recent extensive
growth.
The club woman who makes these con
fessions, who waa christened Johnaphene,
but known aa Jackie, comes from a little
Kansas town, where "not to have
achieved matrimony by the time one was
Z3 was evidence of some lack of charm
mental, or worse yet, physical." She haa
therefore at 11 married Joseph Hennlng,
a young retail grocer, and begins Ufa
with him In a five-room flat over hla
Chicago grocery.
This life to her seems quite Ideal for
three or four years, during which time
two babies are added- to the menage.
Then! with the increase of her hustling
young husband's bualneaa and hla greater
engrossment In It, and the advent of
"help" In the house, leisure1 and discon
tent dawn for the wife, who Is beautiful
and not yet 16.
Bacillus Of Discontent.
She reads the society column of the
Sunday paper, and In her Ignorance finds
the account of "a pink tea on the ragged
edge of South Chicago aa fascinating as
that of a dinner dance on the Lake Shore
diiv.
"Descriptions of gown worn at, theaa
"laces," she says, "became aa entertain
ing as and more Important than the fash
ion plates on the woman's page.
"I began to wonder how I would look
In an evening gown. And, shall I con
fees It? I even went so far a to cot
down an old black silk low on the shoul
ders, just to gratify this strange long
ing: and one night, when tho children
were asleep and the maid waa out, I did
my 'hair up very high and put on the
low cut waist for the first time In my
life. Naturally. I looked In the mirror
and saw there what did not leasen my
growing discontent."
The next Sunday her eyo falls upon the
following In the woman's page: "What
doe the club do for women? Every thing.
From the woman who dwell In a Lake
Shore palace down to the wife of the
corner grocer. It broaden her horlson
and enlarge her ympathiea.
The grocer's wife, provided she la at
tractive and a.nbitlou, and tactful, may
rise to as high a position In the m club
a does milady who ride In her car
riage, clothed In cables and wearing the
costliest Jewels."
Shortly after this Mr. Parsals, the
teacher of a Bible class, calls. Mr.
Parsal Is a member of loading women'
clubs and the wife of a political candi
date. She tin. is Mrs. Henning bright and
attractive, and at her naively expressed
desire to belong to a club, promise to
present her name to the Nota Bene club.
The career of the "Club Woman" be
gins with her admission to this, one of
the largest and molt popular woman'
club.
A new ready-made gown 1 bought for
the first meeting. "Nature has endowed
trt with some degree of distinction," she
ays. "and perhaps I was Justified In
gating with complacency at my reflec
tion In the bedroom mirror." At any
rate tha "moral support" of a new gown
enabled her to walk the length of tha
room In search of a vacant seat and to
conduct herself with aplomb among a
room full of stranger. Among the ad
dresses on the program Is one by a pop
ular young clergyman, who prove to be
a childhood friend of the Club Woman
and whose recognition of her after the
meeting helped to give her standing.
Events follow rapidly after this first
meeting.
Mr. Parsal s ambition to to be club
president, and she use her new friend
as an ally In political maneuver and
when elected puts her upon the recep
tion committee. Meanwhile Mr. Hennlng
1 prospering and the Hennlng move to
a houae on Lake Shore drive.
"When a woman Is once thoroughly In
oculated with the bacilli of the club fe
ver," "Confessions" continues, "there is
no help for her until the attack haa run
It course: no great scientist haa yet
been brave enough to apply a remedy
sufficiently heroic to kill the germs.
These women who have had the advan
tage of social Intercourse with their kind
have the disease mildly and rationally:
but those of ua who have been deprived
of experience with the world, especially
those who have been tied, willingly or
unwillingly, to home duties exclusively,
are hopeless case from the vary out
set. And I have been thoroughly Inoc
ulated." Says the "Confessions:" "Those who
think the real excitement of a biennial
begins with the opening exercise have
never known the delight of being on
of the hundred of women who journey
to the great convention of club by spec
ial train. The visits between occupants
of different car, the gatherings In the
observation car attached to tha rear and
monopolised In the ordinary train by the
man, even the .'caucuses' held In the
deserted smoking compartments of our
sleepers, put another phase On the limita
tions of ordinary travel. A great
modern hotel given over to women
have you ever Man It? Hundred of up-to-date,
middle-aged women In soft.
(Copyright, 1804, by W. B. Hearst.)
Esther Remington stood before her
long mirror the picture of dejection.
Evidently her thoughts ware not of tha
charming reflection centered In It clear
depths.
The door was opened with a nota,t
hast and a young man entered.
"I forgot everything about thla con
founded party, Esther,'' he began In
hurried explanation. "I see you are
dressing, but you know it never takes
me long to get ready." And Mr. Rem
ington commenced the preparations for
his toilet.
"We shall be rather late, I think,"
his wife responded, without turning to
ward him. but there waa a tremulous
resentment hi the manner with which
she clasped the wide band of gold upon
her arm.
"It's a terrible bore, I know, thla party
going." said bar husband. "I always
thought you women liked arriving at a
aenaatlonal time," he added, carelessly,
"but then I can aee that you have the
bad taste to be huffy again thl even
ing," as Esther maintained silence.
She confronted him with flashing
eye.
"I certainly should not go, at thla late
hour," ahe said in proud disdain, "except
that It might appear a trifle odd to be
absent from an entertainment given es
pecially In honor of yobr marriage."
"At least you can decline all such in
vitation In the future," her husband
coolly retorted. "You know that I do
not care for parties." -
"But I Ilk aoclety. I have been ac
customed to It all my life."
"That Is unfortunate, for mother and
I entertain very little. It's no use, Es
ther, you can't make a society' man out
of me. If you want to go to social
functions you must provide yourself
with another escort," and -with a laugh
Remington deliberately proceeded to ar
range his tie.
Poor Esther. She walked proudly
into tha, next room and threw herself
upon the pretty blue lounge.
Where was the lover-husband with
the constant, devoted attention that had
begun with their courtship?
But ah knew the cause of It. It
waa that atern woman whom ah now
called mother. It waa so different from
the "happy-go-lucky" Ufa of her. mai
den home. Hera It was breakfast at T.
dinner at 1, tea at (, and to get three
meal well over seemed the chief busi
ness of the dsy.
When her husband's mother prepared
tor wash the china and polish the silver
Esther offer rather timidly to assist
In these duties. Mr. Remington ac
cepted her services, but did not veil
her contempt of the Inefficiency with
which the task waa performed. It was
all very different from wha't Esther had
pictured; but ahe was determined never
to complain, for had not her husband
told her he was comparatively poor?
Esther was 111, so 111 that they spoke
only In whisper near her. and outside
straw waa strewn on the road to deaden
all sound. Her father had Just arrived,
summoned by telegram.
"And you tell me that Esther fell
going down the oallar steps," he aaked,
In a ton of astonishment. "And, pray,
madam, what necessity could there be
for my daughter to do such a thins;?"
, "It waa her own affair," said Mrs
Remington, quit a haughtily. "Es
ther was assisting me In my household
duties. Why should she not? Her hus
band, a you ought to know, la a poor
man."
Mr. Marston turned away without
ceremony and went quietly Into hi
daughter' room. What a change to him
waa thl pale-faced woman with the
purple shadows under the dull eyes, and
the pinched Hps all purple, too. "Where
was the man who was responsible for
all this?" he asked himself In bitter
anger as he glanced around, and then
he saw hla son-in-law kneeling at trie
other aide of the bed. with hla wife's
passive hand In both his Awn.
swishing silks everywhere: the tradition
that It la not meet for ladies to stand
in the hotel office, ait In window seats
or hang about new stands and telegraph
office set aside for the nonce, and a soft
rush of femininity In corridors and read
ing room and hallwaya until the few
homeless men who are dependent on the
hotel are fain to hide in furthest smok
ing room and out-of-the-way corner.
For once we felt the freedom of our bet
ter halvea and rejoiced as let nouvellea
femme."
The episode of a Mormon wife and two
colored women aa de igatts threatens to
uVvelop a row In tho convention. This I
averted by the tact of the presiding offi
cer, but not before i woman reporter,
who has a hold on Jacklo because of hav
ing written her speech, has through her
secured a sruop i'tr her -mr.
The rush fjr scats at the convention
reminds Jackie of "a stampede of cattle
In a Kunaas round-up."
Th Bom Is Hegl c ted.
Club work took up ao much of the
club woman's time that she sent to
Kansas for her mother to care for the
house and children. Her husband, who
from th first has only "half believed In
women' club," begins to grumble when
Jackie does not appear at breakfast and
when a bill cornea In for expensive
clothing for which she has already ac
quired a discriminating taste.
A climax comes whan th baby Is
taken 111 while Jackie la away at a re
ception followed by a charity entertain
ment given by the Nota Bene club at
the theater.
Hennlng forbids hi wife to go to the
biennial . convention to which she haa
been elected delegate, but Mrs. Parsal
toll her that he "know all about re
fractory husbands," to aay nothing, but
how hr Independence by going and
make It up afterward.
Mr. Parsal settle the matter, In fact,
by putting her on the program for an
address on the "Ideal Club Woman."
However, Jackie's speech Is on the
program and ahe oannot deny herself
the triumph she feel la In store. To
quote again:
Fascinations of Appearing In Public.
"Th woman who alts on a platform at
a public meeting for the first time un
dergoes a peculiar exhilaration. The
row upon rows of faces, a curious sense
of Isolation, with the consciousness of
being in the public eye, combine to pro
duce a psychological change In the wom
an, lifting her out of herself Into a
rarer atmosphere of stage fright. 1
cannot remember that I ever was afraid
of anything, and ao I fell under the
spell of the first condition. I forgot my
perplexities, forgot my horn and my
babies, forgot my Irate husband and his
telegram: I saw only a packed audi
torium fluttering with fan and flowers
and dainty gown and bonnets. I saw
only th stimulating sea of sweet faces
and heard only the hum of a thousand
women' voices."
When she dually reaches home she
manages th "refractory husband." who
soon after leavea for London on a busi
ness trip. Summer closes the club Ma
son, but th club ha served It pur
pose aa an entering wedge to social
Ufa, and a round of gayety at th sea
shore horn of Mr. Parson with the
Battering attention of th young clergy
"Do you think she wlU die?" he whis
pered, when. Mr. Marston had beckoned
him out of' the room, and surely any
on could read the haggard misery In
his face. But the father answered with
cruel directness:
"I think that If h die you have
killed her by your neglect and cold
ness." .
When Esther oam slowly back to
health and strength again her father
Insisted with rather an Imperious man
ner that his daughter should accom
pany htm home.
"And you may depend upon it," he
added, "that I shall detain her as long
as possible from a place where she Is
expected to do general housework."
"You are mistaken, sir." she said In
her atlff way. "I do moat of the work
uare. I seldom called on Esther to as
sist me."
Mr. Marston pointed towarda hi
daughter's room.
"How came I to find her there, then?"
he sternly asked. "Had she not been
performing a menial's work "
"It was very unfortunate that Esther
could not do me a slight service without
endangering her life." was the cold an
swer. "But as for menial work pray .re
member that my son' wife occupies no
higher position than my son's mother,"
"Bather la not accustomed to do any
thing of the kind. She waa brought up
in luxury," answered Mr. Marston.
"In that case you should not have
been so ready to give her to a poor
man," aald Mra. Remington unflinch
ingly. "I have don my best to make
your daughter's horn comfortable: I
could do no more. Unhappily,' ahe haa
tow resources within herself and at
tache too much Importance to trifles."
"Hush, mother!" Interposed Arthur,
who had listened with Ill-concealed Im
patience to all thl. What fault exists
II at my door. I mad too little al
lowance for my poor girl's pleasure-loving
nature, and denied her the social
excitement to which she had been ac
customed. In future "
"We wlO say nothing about that Just
now," Mr. Marston spoke decidedly. "My
daughter will remain with me until her
health Is re-established; then we can
decide what la best for you both."
The weeks went slowly by and length
ened Into month without bringing home
again Arthur Remington wife Her
latter were tow, cold and constraint
Fortune smiled upon him In the yeal
he and hi wife were estranged. 'A
bachelor uncle left him all hi money.
He resigned his position In the bank, es
tablished his mother In a home of her
own and resolved to go abroad. When
he expressed hi Intention of settling a
part of his fortune on Esther Mr. Mars
ton haughtily declined, and Arthur, now
seriously hurt and angry, made up His
mind to a lifelong estrangement from'
hi wife. If she could live without him
he could live without her, be proudly
thought
Could nothing regain him hi sweet
wife?
A he thus pondered he turned a sud
den curve In the path, and there stood
before him a alender figure clad in pal
blue, with a wide-brimmed hat; but the
gray eye were not laughing now; they
had filled suddenly with tears, and hus
band and wife stood gazing silently Into
each other's face. But only for an In
stant. Tha next Bather was In Ar
thur's arms, held there with a passion
ate intensity that it seamed would never
relax, while kisses rained down the
aweet. tear-stained face.
"Never shall we part again," he whis
pered brokenly. "Bather, promise me
that neither pride nor estrangement nor
anything but death shall part us again
In thl life."
Esther's face lit up with a smile a
she whispered softly, I promise."
They sealed the vow with a kiss of
entire reconciliation, and after all Ar
thur Remington went abroad, but not
alone.
man and a visiting Frenchman keep up
the movement of th story.
The energetic Mrs. Parsons organise
a good government club for the fall
campaign, and the "Confessions" give
some of the Inside history of this club.
As th ladies In It are ownera of cer
tain factories employing hundred of
wnrklngmen they have practical meana
for Influencing the action of political
leaders. They employ these mean in
much the same manner men would.
Jackie Anally geta to be president of

Jackie's husband cornea home and
finds that she ha been giving moat

affairs growing out of her club con
nection and that she ha involved her
self In an affair with a Frenchman.
The "Confessions" now turn from club

It takes a railway accident to finally

a hard-fought battle for re-election, but
at her husband's advice ahe doss not re

of the "Confessions" put in the mouth
of one of the level-headed elub mem
bers are "that we have too many
women who look upon the club merely
a the place where on can see what
other women do, what they are wearing,
what Is til latest way of doing up the
hair, or, tnaphap. If there will be a
