Why do you men laugh so at us

ego of an equally prominent man.
"Because you are such jokes," he
replied with smiling eyes.
"But why are we such jokes?" per
sisted the woman.
"Because you take yourselves so
seriously," said he.
We did trke ourselves seriously in
the early days of clubdom. We 'had
to because no one else would.
We do still take ourselves serious
ly. We must because the world is
giving us such serious work to do.
But there is a difference between yes
teryear and this year, and it is that
we women have learned to apply the
savins: grace of humor. We" can
now see a joke as well as be one.
And laugh at one, even if it is on

of any opposition which lies ahead,
and to mother the whole wide world.
For men have found that because of
federated clubs there are "better
schools, better arts and crafts, better
legislation for women and children,
and a broadening intelligence and a
more comprehensive point of view for
every American woman." and there

American man.

Arkansas club women believe in the
City Beautiful. They have not found
it sufficient to make clean-up week
state-wide, to hob-nob with health of
ficers to the ends that public and pri
vate premises are clean: they must
be made beautiful with bloom.' Hele
na, the home of the beloved state pres
ident, Mrs. Moore, hit unon somethipsr
in the beautification line, which, so
far as I know, is "new under the sun."
The Twentieth Century Club appoint
ed a chairman of rose clippings. She
clipped and she clipped, and soon she
had 2,000 rose cuttings. Then the
club had a party called it Rose Tea
and invited the town WV, on ovarii' 1
body came, he (only it was mostly
she) listened with interest to an ex
pert Florist (T use the capital be
cause he was imported for the occa
sion) who had made a specialty of
rose culture and who explained how
to grow roses from slips. Then the
club women hostesses displayed rose
slips, all neatly tied in little' bundles
and labeled, and guests were told to
take what they wanted as- souvenirs.
Next, a college girl who had just re
turned from a horticultural school
near Philadelphia talked charmingly
upon landscape gardening and the
possibilities of transforming, by right
Planting, an uglv duckling of a town
into something altogether lovelv. She
displayed pictures, hefore and after,
as njnof. When the guests had had
tea and were saying good-bv. thev
