Mrs. Edward L. Johnson.
In Rhode Island lira, Johnson has
been closely Identified with the club
movement. She waa the founder and
first president of the Fawtucket Wom
en's club, one of th largeat and strong
est eluba in the state.
She served the state organization as
director, recording -secretary, vice-president
and president. During her term of
office aa president aha began th move
ment for building a club house. A com
mlttee waa appointed to Investigate ap
propriate aitea and make general plana.
The report of the committee waa re
reived with auch enthusiasm that the
work waa undertaken. '
Mrs. Johnson has acted throughout as
president of the Churchill Home cor
po rat Ion and still hold that office. To
day the building la an accomplished
fact and there la no doubt by the day
of the third anniversary of th first
meeting of tha committee that the small
outstanding debt will be paid. To se
cure a suitable location, investigate
plans and choose the mast desirable,
raise the nvcessary money and build s
350.800 club bouse, all within th apace
of three years la no slight natter. Tet
sll this Mrs. Johnson has done.
Th patriotic societies claim alao a
share of this versatile woman's ttma and
attention. 8he has been state vice
regent of th D. A. R. and Is at present
corresponding secsetary of the Colonial
Damea. .
It is only fair to add that aa home
maker Mrs. . Johnson Is also conspic
uously successful. In a word ah is an
all-around. womanly woman.

Discussion ' Orer ' ?
Croup Housekeeping. j
Can it be demonstrated that theM
exists a demand for groap housekeep
ing a term that Is riot as familiar, per
hups, as "cooperative housekeeping."
but which means a greater advance in
ease and economy? r "
The growing thousands of wage-earn-ing
women are just aa human as If they
were housewives, and Just aa fond of
home. Often more so. There are
housewives who weary of their paradise
even break down in its service. But
the woman who works In mill or shop,
behind the counter, or at th desk; in
etudlo or hospital, church or school
that woman' appreciates a home, and
needs it. -':!
Here is a large and growing market,
steady market, a body of respectable
citizens of all class who do demand
the home without . th housekeeping.
Tliey board at present, and don t like It
ilt is either. Inferior food and service and
email, cold room, or it is. too ex pen
aire, . Moreover a. boarding-house does
not furnish right . ground -for -human
rompaniortahlpi-.for, rest .and recreation.
The boarding-house gives ., yon a place
to eat and a place to sleep no. more.
Eating and aleeplng r are not living.
Tou mica th emotional content of horn
life, snd its element of special catering
to personality, and you get nothing to
counterbalance th loss except freedom
from ca re and labor. , -, . ,;
. Th business woman has com to stay
an her wants must be recognized and
met. - , r ,
I was talking , on this subject to a
woman's .club, on. th. lower east side.
J described to them how a block of tene
ments could be treated as a. whole: or an
apartment house built.. In which th
kitchen and-, laundry space was con
densed to-business limits; prepared food
erf steady . excellence ; furnished more
cheaply than; they, could provide It
themselves; proper accommodation for
children . on the upper floor and roof;
and also some provision for rest, relaxa
tion and amusement of the adult resi
dents; all this costing leas than their
present housekeeping and leaving them
free to double th family income. They
were ready for It. to a woman. -Charlotte

THE) WOMAN OF THE FUTURE.
The Woman of th Future '

For a little sag discussion
Of th after-dinner kind; V
And. though I took the clialleng
With a rashness I deplore,
I shall sketch that woman for you .'.
In in minutes and not mora. '
The Woman of th Future,'
If I read creation's plan.

Bh will not be a roan!
I know you'r glad to hear that.
For w wer a whll In doubt, - : '
But now I can asur you all . '. .
That kink ts straightened out. ,
The Woman of th Futur -
If I read th stars aright.
Will lore her club at breakfast '
But ahe'll love her horn at night:
She'll love her children, train them well.
And educate them, too,
And see that all. ef women's clubs,
Hold quit th proper ylew.
The Woman of th Futur -. ' - V
Will be both tru and keen:
Bhe'll have her smack of gossip.
But she'll loath th low snd mean:
Shall give and take, and thrust and
guards--' "r ,,
As all th world must do.
But th thrust will b an honest one.
- Though - sometimes through and
through, ,
The Woman of th Futur . V;..
Will cat an honest vote; - s .
Shell seize the cringing lobbyist
By a metaphorlc throat; -She'll
dust the- halls of congress, : :
And she'll sweep the civic at air,
And ventilate th corridor
With seme unpolluted air.

A Woman of th Future -

"On of the Jolliest lot of tourists
who hav returned from the volcano trip
this season was th Western Tours

tribulation of sea passage, their trip
waa a delightful one. At Hllo th party
was received by a reception committee
of Htloltes, who remembered th visit
of th Oregon girls last year, under the
chaperonag of Mrs. Weatherred. and
tha party was entertained at a dance
arranged In their honor during their
night in the Hawaiian city. Th fol
lowing day th Japanese squadron ap
peared at Hllo and tha party wer es
corted to the ' Volcano house by th
Japanese admiral and his officers, who
alao accompanied th Western Tourists
to the crater. ,
-Tot th visit Madam Pel had re
served her choicest fireworks and th
night spent by th party at ths dg of
th crater, peering ovr and watching
th lake of fir, I on they will aver
remember. Th pit waa Urn and time
again filled with sheets of fire, in th
intervals ths streak of brightness slg
sagging across th . iCoor, whll fires
were playing almost continuously. Th
rushing lavs sounded Ilk th beating
of surf. To this accompaniment th
watchers sang their national airs,, th
Japanese Joining In with the American
in 'America' and singing with a will.
"Mrs. Edythe T. Weatherred and th
members of the Western Tours party
were entertained last night at a recep
tion given by Princess Emms DeFrles.
In th same lssu of th paper la a
very handsome double column picture of
