WOMEN'S CLUBS AND WORK
HIS being the season of individual
resolutions, there seems- no good
reason why a few club resolu
tions might not be a' profitable
' investment . No doubt many of
- them would, like the proverbial New
.Tear'a resolution, be broken, but the
.suggestive thought, or better still, the
desire might be a aeed that would
aprlng VP d bring forth some fruit If
TCiot an abundant crop. First then let
us resolve more loyalty to our state ana
national organization, and this means
mora work aw) greater Interest in
them. . ,
" We would begin with our educational
fund. About $600 In all has been sub
scribed. Almost every cent of this is
either loaned out; or promised.--Tbla
"means" that nearly (500 la helping
worthy girls of the state to procure an
education and better prepare themselves
for . the duties of life, be these duties
bread-winning or home-keeping. Every
. loan has been made to girls who would
have had ' to leave school if they had
not gotten thla help. The present finan
cial condition will compel many others
to seek financial assistance, or curtail
their educational work. Let every club
In ' the state resolve to do 'something
during the year to increase this fund.
Let the next -resolution be to hold up
the hands of the pure food committee
In Its endeavor to purify the milk and
market conditions of the state. This
may be done by each olub creating a
' epeclaj committee to cooperate with the
late and national committee. Write to
Mrs. E. R. Miller, 189 McMillan street,
for information aa to how. to. proceed.

club have worked hard and faithfully
and be It ssld to their credits have
eliminated anvthlna that speaks too
loudly of personal advertising. Nearly
BO per cent, of the exhibitions hava come
In from other cities. The Paciflo coast
hai done its part well and many of the
most , interesting designs have come
from our slater states of California and
Washington. ' New York and Boston
and other eastern centera have also
contributed largely to the. . aucceaa . of
the exhibition. '
Although architecture holds tha place
of honor among the arts included in tha
exhibition the Kindred one of landscape
architecture has not been overlooked
and many of the moat attractive pieces
in the galleries, from the point of view
of a layman, sre contributed by land
scape man. The other allied arts are
also well represented, including those
of interior decoration and specimene of
tiling and pottery. ;.c
To a growing city euch aa Portland,
the importance of such an exhibit aa
that of the Architect's club can scarcely
be 'overeatimatcd. The club will un

special attention will be given to the
things women are interested in. By
communicating with Mrs. Dalton chair

may be arranged on the grounds or near

fINCBJ the subject of international
X scholarships for women has been
made an issue with the General
Federation, much has been written and
said about the advantage to be derived
from thla educational Intercourse, and
it haa occurred to few to Inquire what
benefits young women might derive If
m nzssmm
they came to this country to study
methods. In fact many women do come
to America, both at their own and at
government expense, to study American
ways or to get an Amaripan education.
Wellesley now has three young Chinese
girls who are here at government ex
pense, being educated. Recently there
arrived in this country a woman dele-
fate from Greece to study our lnstitu
ions of higher education for women,
and a representative from the French
government who is to. make a report
on our public school system In lta. en

Palmgren, ; Ph. - D assistant librarian

country, collecting data about public
libraries. Miss Palmgren'a appointment

the' large gallery half a dozen or ao
specimens of Mr. Anderson s work a
work that was never appreciated dur
ing his life-time by the city in which he
lived and was toollttle thought of by
the artist himself. 1
But the members of the club have
carefully gathered together some of his
work from wjiere it had been thrown
and forgotten, framed it and now every
one can see for himself what "Poor
Jim" Anderson had in him. His water-
tains, air the traditional procedure and1
ceremony that has, long years ago, been
dropped from other institutions of
learning. The scholarship test is most
severe and would put to shame many
of the lightly acquired degrees of our
modern . universities. 1 The disputation

the applicant for the degree standing
during the entire time. Criticism most
scathing is permitted, and even ridi

NIB of the most valued holiday re
membrances that was received by
many of the women of Oregon this
yoar was a dainty and beautifully bound
little , booklet . containing a poem, not
alone known to this state, but of na
tional fame, entitled "Oregon, Land of
Promise," by Abigail Scott Duniway.
Oregon's leading and most brilliant lit
erary woman, as well aa the chamnlon
of woman's cause in tha northwest. In
the summer of 1872, .while the author
was Journeying from the Atlantic to
the Paciflo ocean, and thence tin tha Co
lumbia and Willamette rivers to her
nome in Portland she, rrom stage to
stage of her Journey wrote this poem,
which is remarkable for lta nnwerfnl
descriptive portrayal and its grand and
uenumui patriotism. - .
- It j has at various time hen anlrail
for, and even demanded, by the press
pi uuin east ana west, ana several times
haa found Its way into leading period
icals, but thla Is the first time it has
been put into permanent form. It has
been used extensively ty the personal
friends and .admirers of Mrs. Duniway,
this year aa a holiday souvenir. It is
particularly anrooos for this, aa it haa a
most excellent portrait of the author on
the cover, and to her friends ahe added
the greeting that, for 0 years haa
been the clarion call to duty for women,
"Tours for liberty, Abigail Scott Dun
iway." i ..

Albert Doyle's sketches of foreign
travel, pencil work and showing a good
appreciation of the subjects for the
most part the classic Grecian ruins
are an attractive feature of the wall

good foil for the larger skyscraper de
signs farther on down the room. Kelly

attractive country-house plana show
ing front elevations, garden ends and a

drawings of the bridge tower at Prague
and the church of St. Humbert's at
Ausbach. Ellis Lawrence has more of

larly good French detail bits, especial

president of the Outdoor Art league,
said:
"It is because women did not become
interested in club life many years ago
that men llKe Dr. Tanner ministers,
doctors and lawyers have any lob at
all' today, so I am not surprised that
they are Interested In suppressing the
club. There is one thing in wmcn
women stand alone. In all other fern
lnine pursuits man excels, even as i
Qpok. a dressmaker or a milliner, pre'
sumably vocations of women. But she
has not even been perm i ted to develop
and oonserve her energy so that she
can do 4he one thing well, and with
horror she haa seen hospitals, penitenti
aries' ana insane asylums ruling up witn
tne aina or numan neing ane is pro,
duclng, and, incidentally, thereby givin(
occupation to ministers, doctor anc
lawyers. The struaale for the emanci
pation of women Is only nature's revolt
against an order of things that was
creating beings of inferior body, mind
and soul. The activity of woman in the
matter of club life is an effort to
broaden herself that she may uplift the
race." -
- Mrs. Tnes Shorb-White, a society
leader, replies to Ha v. Tanner by say.
ing:
i'Rlghtly understood, the club life
does a rreat deal toward the solution
of the affinity problem and consequently
the divorce evil, because it aids women
in bedomlng companions, and it la the
companion who la the affinity. Any il
literate, uneducated nomaq can lowe, but
it taices tne aavancea, progressive, in
teresting and interested woman to be a
companion, ir a woman oouia be a com
pahfon and a comrade to her husband
and understand and sympathize with
him, he would not look outside of his
nome xor nis airinity.
: Many more women were interviewed
by a San Francisco paper and ex
pressed strong opinions upon the sub
ject Of Mr. Tanner's remarks, which
seemed a waste of time and space for
everyone Knows an intelligent man
makes no remarks of that kind and
those that do only have the object of
a iittie cneap notoriety in view.

WONDER when the male mind will
realize that it is not competent to
Judge the question of the purity of
woman? Most of the dissertations on
tha subject these days are written by
men. The latest is an article by Wil
liam Winter in the December number
of the Paciflo Monthly. He generously
admits that man is as . culpable aa wo
man, but he loftily declares, "Neither
sermons, nor novels, nor essays, nor
plays will affect he result." He tells
us that ."Nature, not man, has ordained
the moral sequence, and it is Inevi
table.'! Tea, we agree with him, It is
inevitable, but he does not ao on to
explain that nature also deals out the
same -quality of Justice to the man who
forsakes the path of virtue. She -visits
the result not only upon himself,1 but
upon the unfortunate woman he marrlea
and upon the unfortunate beings who
are hia -children. Is it not about time
that we look the question squarely in
the face' and say. to the man aa we do
now to the woman t "Thou. too. art un
clean"? c
Mr. Winter aaya further that "No
man who respects himself or cares for
the welfare and honorable repute of his
children ever will or can pardon his
wife's infldellty1',i:etc. etc, How about
the other side of the nlcture? If the
knowledge of the husband's infidelity
comes to tne - wire, sne is expected to
"overlook it for the ake of lhe chil

Figures given out by expert to moral

you say? . Tea, perhaps, but is it not
time that we Know something ot the
true state of affairs? Is it nbt time
that we demand that the future fathers
of tha country shall live in "purity and
honor" as well aa that future mothers
shall be virtuous?
Ia It not about time that women shall
say to the unclean man: "Go, you are
not fit to associate with my daughter"?
We must place upon him the ban ofso
ciety aa we do upon woman. But' do
we? No: we rather pride ourselves upon
our double standard, and go about sen.
timentaiizmg about the man wnom we
think haa autlered enougn with eight,
months' imprisonment for ruining a 16-year-old
girl in his own house, while
we shut our hearts against the poor,
weak child who Is ruined! Oh, the pity
or It all! And we women are to blame
for -thla double standard! There is
many a mother in this city who will
give her daughter to a man who has
wealth and a position in society with
out giving his morals a thought; who
would rather see her son dead than
married to a woman of doubtful char
acter.
Winter says that "the existence or so
ciety rests on the sanctity of the home,
and the sanctity of the home rests upon
the chastity of the woman." Now, I
wonder if it really does? My club sis
tera. what do you think about it?
Society, oreachers. writers, the courts
all bow down to the double standard
and the woman who dares declare for
one ' moral standard for both men and
women la looked upon as an extremist
or crank. Somehow we do not like to
do or say things that win mane our

would tackle an American embassy at
Paris design? Cutter ft Malmgren show
many samples of their work, including i
i 1
lltlcal machinations, and with less Jus
tification than- in the Crimea, though
both came from the same cause. It
was the women of England who arose
in their wrath and demanded that some
thing be done, though the Duke of New
castle offered to send out relief t his
own expense, knowing that - hundreds
would die before the ponderous ma
chine of government could get around
to It.
Florence Nightingale was the first to
offer her services to Sidney Herbert, the
secretary of war, and she 'was imme
diately commissioned to take out a corps
of volunteer nurses. Miss Nightingale
at this time was head of the Governess
sanitarium in Harley street, London,
and waa widely known for her phllan-
Jhropio work. She was born in Italy in
820 and waa the daughter of a wealthy
Hampshire gentleman. She had pre
pared herself for . her chosen work at
various institutions and was not the
amateur and untrained nurse many sup
pose her to have been.
Every one knows the history and the
record thla noble woman made. Balak
lava was but 10 days past when these
women - arrived on tne scene, ana tne
wounded were, etill unattended, but
from that time on a new erdar-of things
prevailed, and the name of Florence
Nightingale became immortal.
After the war the people of England
raised a fund of 50,000 and presented
it to Mias Nightingale, but every penny
of it went to establishing the Nightin
gale House, a training school for nurses,
attached to St Thomas' hospital, Lon
don. She 18 the first woman to receive the
distinction of this order and it has only
been bestowed upon 19 men. The Order
of ; Merit is very exclusive. It was
founded by King Edward in 1902 for the
recognition of especially distinguished
services in all walks of life.
In the hallway of St jThomas" hos
pital there is a statue of Florence
Nightingale in her nurse's garb, and
holding a lamp in her hand. The light
from her lamp personified haa pointed
the way to other nationa It is this
statue that called forth the following
beautiful little poem from Longfellow,
entitled "Lady With the Lamp ":
Lo! in that house of misery
A lady with a lamp I see
Pass through the glimmering gloom
And flit from room to room.
And slow, as in a dream of bliss -
The speechless sufferers turn to kisa v
Her snaoow as it rails
Upon the darkening walls.
On England's annals through the long
Hereafter of her speech and song ; .
That light its raya ahaii cast '
From portals of the past .
