,j"The most startling difference be
tween the women of today and the
women of yesterday," says a well
tanown writer, "is her point of view on
the subject of housekeeping:. House
keeping was once an end in itself, an
Itfrsorbing vocation. There are many
Sfiho think it still should' be. But
AjDusekeeping today is apt to be done
fcffore or after the real work of the
i day, and is generally thought of as a
More or less inconvenient side issue."
The cause for this change in women Is
jjjainly due to the keen interest which
the women of the present day display
Are not the women in the grand cru- inff
sade against the evils which threaten
to destroy our nation socially and mor-
Sy
and those, as wel, who are fight
y and those, as well who are flht
of ability, doing much toward the up
lift of those in trouble? There are so
many different phases of uplift and
improvement in which the modern
woman is interested that she has no
time for the old time domestic drudg
ery and shallow social duties. It has
been remarked that the ladies show
less and less inclination toward social
life, and that the old-time brilliant
functions are no more. The reason is
that women have awakened to their
obligations and find more chance for
improvement mentally and physically
as well, in the modern avocations of
the up-to-date woman. She is no
Kmger- the dependent, inconsequential
creature which she once was. Her
ideas count and she now has the re
spect accorded to a companion and a
counselor and not simply the deference
given an insuperfor being. Besides
Improving mentally, women have im
proved physically. This is the way
one author expresses it. "The foun
tain of youth has sprung a leak and
the result of the trickle is dropping our
way. Who is old nowadays? That
white-haired young thing driving her
own automobile down the avenue?
Qr* that happy grandmother teaching
the children to play hockey on the
park ponds?" The young woman of

edge, many new customs and inven

CLUB NOTES
The Current Events club of Bis
marck, held a very interesting meet
ing, Wednesday afternoon, at the home
of Mrs. G. W. Wolbert, on Mandan
avenue. The programme for this meet
ing was termed as Lincoln day, and
the following splendid papers were
given: The Early Life of Lincoln, by
Mrs. E. T. Burke Lincoln as a Lawyer,
by Mrs. Alfred Zuger Lincoln as the
President, by Mrs. M, Moore. In re
sponse to roll call, each member re
sponded with a reading or quotation
by Lincoln- This club, will on March
28 celebrate its 9th anniversary, and
a splendid programme is being ar
ranged by the committee on enter
tainment.
Friday was annual guest day for
the club women of Breckenridge,
Minn., and they entertained as guests
on, this occasion the members of the
Wahpeton Fortnightly club and the
Wahpeton Woman's Literary society.
The gathering was held at the com
mercial club rooms and the visiting
company arrived at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Cordial welcome wag first
in order and the club parlors were
decorated in significance of the lesson
which was on India, their course
being the Bay View study. American,
English and Indian flags were in evi
dence and two fine steel engravings of
King George and Queen Mary com
pleted the novel idea. Miss Nelson
opened the programme with an Eng
lish song and Mrs. McPeek followed
with an address which had for its
aim more fellowship and social inter
course between the club women of
Wahpeton and Breckenridge. Two
talks on India, one by Mrs. Nelson
on India—Her People and Industries,
and another by Mrs. Arge on Religions
of India, closed the interesting pro
gramme and then delicious refresh
ments of black tea, bread and butter,
and seed cookies were served. Twen
ty-five Wahpeton ladles were in the
company.
Thf Prominent Women of North
Dakota, was the subject of the most
interesting paper the members of the
Minot Women's club have enjoyed
this year and it was given at the last
meeting by Mrs. A. A. Robinson. Mrs.
Robinson opened her paper with a
review, of the great work women of
today are doing and then went over
the early history of North Dakota
showing that, even years ago, the
work of women was quite as great in
its purpose as that of men. She men
tioned some of the early pioneers, and
mission workers, Sakakawea, General
Custer's wife and others and then
took up modern women, speaking In
part as follows: "The personality of
our governors' wives is always inter
esting but in Mrs. Frank White of Val
ley City we have not only the wife of
an ex-governor, but a remarkable per*,
sonality. Mrs. White ia a native of
Ohio and her ancestry ia of the bent
Quaker stock in America, characterized
by strong religious convictions and a
stre'nuous participation in the affairs
of the world- Her grandfather was
long a preacher of the Quaker faith in
Wilmington, O. Mrs. White is an
untiring worker ill civic and Sunday
school work, going with her boys for
several days' outing every summer.
She organized the Civic league of Val
ley City in 1906 and those ideas have
been embodied elsewhere in the state.
She is pre-eminently a promoter of
women's study clubs, having beet
president of the state federation. On
does not need to look far for workers
for the betterment of women before
tha attention is directed to Mrs. N
C.
Young of Fargo, who is now
president of the federation. Mrs.
Young was born in Iowa City, la.,
and graduated from the university of
that state. She is very much In
terested in both church and club
work. Her writings have been mostly
addresses given on various occasions.
She believes in the higher education
of women, but for the purpose of a
higher motherhood and not for poli
tical reasons. The late Mrs.. Alice
