I EVE in THE
ARENA*
When your club does constructive work, report it to this department. Your
success may be the stimulus a younger group needs for increased civic progress.
Tliis section is devoted to the recording of practical achievement. Woman, strug*
gling with idwals through the ages, has known a sphere of contest to which the
Modern Eve now approaches largely by organization.
ETHEL RATTAY.
"How blind is pride! Wkat eagles
we are still
In matters that belong to other
men!
TF/mf beetles in our own."
Many times this old English
quotation comes to Eve when she
reviews the attitude of a great
number of women voters toward
jury service! Great numbers of
women, proud of the right to vote
and the weapon it gives them to
warn off discord and aid progress,
are either null and void on the
question of this civic duty, or
openly resentful that the privilege
of the ballot entails this service.
This is one of the conditions that
greater political experience will
ul course ::iure, coimiieim
able activity at the polls of some
of the formerly most rabid anti
suffragists is assurance of that,
but the recent expressions of dis
taste for feminine representation
on the jury list brings to mind-the
thought that it has often in the
past been women’s false pride and
false sense of values that has
hindered her progress as well as
the fetters imposed by ofttimes
well meaning males in this matter
of just what is, and what is not
becoming to do. The other day
Eve expressed her regret to an
editor at not having attended a
recent political meeting which he
was recording for her enlighten
ment. He has a suspicion that
she had been reared on the
Borderland of Refinement, and he
replied, “Oh it would never do for
you to attend one of these meet
ings, there is smoking there, and
coatless men—and no one could
guarantee you would not hear
obscene talk.” Right then she de
cided to go, as for the discarded
coats—she believes in comfort*
when one works and she has
escaped alive from so many vol
canic eruptions of verbal origin
and never lost a breath, that a
little or a lot of smoke will not
bother her for she will be so busy
learning the political ropes .she
will see only a condition that can
be changed; besides she has sur
vived giany such in other cities
and the only way to be in touch
with things is to be on the inside
looking out, as the popular side
puts it! That brings us to fhe
Court House again and the ap
pointment of two of Ventnor’s
leading women to the jury with
eight other women, will give us an
opportunity soon to learn the im
pressions of Mrs. Ada S. Schimpf,
wife of the well-known lawyer
and former City Solicitor Theo
dore Schimpf and Mrs. Florence
Riddle, wife of former Mayor
Riddle.
This of course to some is not the
phase of municipal housekeeping
that arranges the orchids in the
drawing room, or. turns on the
Ampico and announces dinner,
but it is one which all of us should
welcome as a great opportunity
for first hand knowledge and ex
perience. Away with the Spirit
of ’76 that only finds time to fight
for the pleasant duties! As
President Coolidge says, “Govern
ment does not rest upon the opin
4; ion of men. Its results rest on
their actions. This enables every
man a politician whether he will

_The Women’s Guild of the
Church of the Ascension is being
congratulated on the acquisition
of a model kitchen which has
recently been completed through
their efforts and the hearty co
operation of the pastor, Rev. H. E.
Durell. Miss Alice Gorin ar
ranged a kitchen shower valued
a." $150, the larger pieces having
been supplied by the Girls’
Friendly Society, 'the Chancel
Guild and the children of the
Candidate’s Class. Mrs. Charles
Fenton and Mrs. George Sykes
donated the electric lighting fix
tures. Great progress will be
made by the members in the social
undertakings necessitating the
kitchen and every woman who has
given volunteer service in the culi
nary departments of the average
churches and halls knows what a
boon convenient work-shops of
this kind are when the charitably
inclined multitudes are to be fed.
The Delphian Society will meet
tomorrow at the home of Mrs.
Edward Sharpe, 3 South Mont
pelier Avenue, when another
branch of this literary organiza
tion will be formed to study “Con
temporary Artists.” Mrs. A. Con
rad Ekholm, of Wyoming and
Winchester Avenues, will be
hostess at the next regular meet
ing, October 8. The second ses
sion, held this fall by these
energetic women who have done
so much for the culture of the
city in their study classes, was
held at Mrs. Blair Stewart’s home,
North Carolina and Pacific Ave
nues, last week, and many in
teresting discussions inspired
those present to great activity.
“European Nations of the Roman
Empire” was the subject under
discussion in general and Mrs.
Florence Knight Senseman dis
cussed the “Roman Empire and
Conditions Which Brought About
the Dark Ages”; Mrs. D. F.
Search, “The Fall of Rome,” and
“France Under Roman Rule,’ was
the subject of "Mrs. Edgar Trout.
Among the other members present
were Mrs. G. H. Steelman, Mrs.
William Cuthbert, Mrs. H. D.
Smith, Mrs. Edward L. Bader,
Mrs. B. Leonard Scott, Mrs. Wil
liam Kline, Mrs. Alfred Gale,
Mrs. Edward -Sharpe, Mrs. A.
Conrad Ekholm and Mrs. A. B.

The Council of Women’s Or
ganizations commenced activities
this week at a meeting at Fireside
Hall of the Young Women’s
Christian Association, which gives
promise of a more constructive
and extensive program than has
ever been outlined. Particular
stress was given the importance
of every club affiliated with the
organization in listing correct ad
dress of same also that each unit
should designate the quality of
the co-operation wanted. Mrs.
Ernest Seaman, was- appointed
publicity chairman, and other as
signments correspondng with the
departments of the State Federa
tion were made. The clubs,
grouped according to the kind.of
work they do, will appoint a chair
man to correspond with each
other. Instead of several clubs
doing practically the same work
or. trying to, haphazardly, the
State Secretary of Women’s Clubs
will keep in touch with the work
and see that instead of a little
here and a little there, the proper
division of effort and territory is
made for greater progress.
One of the projects before the
council is the foundation of a club
house, and since this ambition is
foremost in many minds, great
strides will be made in this direc
tion this winter. The following
Women’s Clubs composed entirely
of women members, belong to the
Council: 1—Art Department,
Delphian Society. 2, Civic—Ham
monton Civic Club, Ventnor
League of Women Voters. 3,
Entertainment—Entre Nous Club,
