i a WOMEN OF SOCIETY. Success That Follows Efforts of Gentler Sex. PLANS OF COTILLION CLUB. Mr. and Mrs. Cowden Celebrate a Quar ter of a Century of Married Hap pines* Personal News. tllllon Club If entitled to greet credit. This organization hat developed excellently. Last summer It was held up, kept together and engineered principally by Mr. Fred K. Btruve and Mr. John Gibbon, jr. The enthusiasm was not remarkable, but these young men by their personal popu larity drew to them enough support to make the hops succeed. The germans of the winter season have, however, proved so com pletely successful that the club will find no trouble in the future In maintaining a perma nent organization. The past week was bright ened up by a fine ooncertof the Evening Musical Club, the silver wodding of Mr. and Mrs. Cow dan, the coucert of Professor Bachman's juve nile orchestra and the miniature World's fair and electrical exhibit given at Plymouth Con gregational church. To those who have lost faith in Seattle and her future destiny, one need point only to the city social und educational development. Go whore you will, the investi gator will bo confronted by the social currents, movement and aspirations of a live and pro gressive community. The remarkable feature of all this activity and bustle Is that it is not spasmodic, but permanent Take a case in point. Those who are acquainted with women theoretically, aud not practically, already and willing at all times to assert the claim that she goes into social movements with great vim and energy, but her enthusiasm quickly dies out and that the institutions under her guidance pos sess only fleeting influence and are short-lived. In Seattle there are easily half a dozen institu tions that refute this charge. There is the Cen tury Club, the Ladies' Musical Club, the Wo men's Christian Temperance Union, the Ladies' Relief Society, the Renaissance Club and a host of similar organizations all essentially social in their nature. These bodies have been uni formly successful in their operation and are by no means all of the institutions in the city con trolled and managed by representatives of the fairer and gentler sex. It is a matter of pride, too, to note that several of the most valued mem bers of the city library association are ladiee. Plymouth Church World'e Fair. The "World's Fair" at Plymouth Congrega tional church Friday evening was one of the most successful and enjoyable affairs of the kind ever held in the city. The church parlors were crowded all evening, and the elegantly ar ranged booths, the costumes of the young peo ple in charge and the tableaux were all that they could possibly have been.

One more unfortunate Weary of treath. Rashly importunate, Gone to her death. • * • • • • Touch her not scornfully j Think of her mournfully; Gently and humanly; Not of the stains of her; All that remains of her Now is pure, womanly. Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity I'nder the sun! Oh! it was pitiful, Near a whole city full Home had she none • *•••• e Perishing gloomily. Spurned by contumely, Bold inhumanity, Burning insanity, Into her rest: Cress her hands humbly, As if praying dumbly, Over her breast. Owning her weakness, Her evii behaviour. And leaving with meekness, Her sins to her Saviour. These lines of Hood's were brought forcibly to the writer's mind on reading in the POST INTELLIGENCER of March 17, an account of the suicide of an unfortunate girl only 18 years old. The writer has also learned that little more than a year ago this poor girl was sweet faced and innocent, trying bravely to earn an hone*t living—a girl of 17 alone in a big, bustl ing city. Ail must admit that the contest was an unequal one, and it was small wonder that the girl failed, and alas! after the firit step in the wrong direction, there are so many going the same [way, that one frail girl, even though she longs ever so earnestly to turn back can mate but iitt'e hesdway acaiust the crowd that comes pushing and jesthng from behind, so, her downward course once be*un, she is apt to follow it to the pitiless end, whether it &e to the suicide's grave, or worse yet, to the lowest social status, where she drags out a life of shame and misery until such time as death mercifully lcleases her and the pitying-all Father taxes the poor sinful one home Surely in Hi« infinite wisdom and mercy He will not judze such a one one whit more harshly than He will the one who was Artt re sponsible for the wrong step Newspaper para graphs like that in the POST-INTELLIGENCE* are so painfully common that people read them wiUi tear Ml j more Uiaa a pa«*iag thrill oi p.ty, not stopping to think of the suffering and bat tle against temptation and the heartache em bodied in such a paragraph, or that it is a life's epitaph. "Alas!" indeed. 4, for the rarity of Christian charity," and alas! that in a city with seme fifty churches and thousands of good men Bnd women, that not one band should oe out stretched to avert such tragedies. The writer of this article Is a new-comer to this city who sees much to adr* re in Seattle and who also tees the great need of philan thropic work here In a city as large as Seattle, with ita small army of working women, there should be a working-girl's clubhouse, where girls away from home and friends could board If they wished, and have the comforts and protecting influence of a home, or whera girls temporarily out of work, or perhaps ill, could find a safe shelter. Such an institution as this, with a pleasant clubroom, made attractive by music, books, pictures, magazines, etc., where g.rlt could spend their evenings pleasantly and profitably, would do m incalculable amount of good, as do similar institutions in the large Eastern cities. If a movement of this kind should be started, I doubt not that it would re ceive heip from all souices—from the pre-s, al ways alive to the best interests of Seattle— from business men, who can but see that such insti tutions are to the honor and glory of any city; from fathers and mothers, from the cnur';;.es, from teachers, artists, lecturers and musicians.
