The Woman's club met in its beautiful
new rooms yesterday on the thrid floor of
the Boston store Block. These rooms were
got in order only by the extreme exertions
of the house and home committee, and
would never have been got in order at all
if that committee had not been composed
of practical housekeepers. They are furnished
with a refined and simple taste
which in a delight to the eye. The walls
are daintly tinted, the platform carpeted
in blue and olive, the many windows
draped in lace and olive brocide, the furnishings
are substantial and elegant, and
the buffet very homelike in its apperance.
This is to be filed with cups, saucers and
teaspoons donated by the members, in
order that tea drinkings may be frequent
occurrence. Yesterday the tables were
covered with embroidered linen, and
trimmed with roses and vines. Palms
decorated this platform, and red roses
graced the president's table.

The business was quickly transacted. It
included the announcement of a meeting
of those interested in university extension
for tonight (Tuesday). To this all men
and women are invitedm of all classes of
women soriety-scholars, business men, home
women, mechanics, laborers, working
women- any willing to take up with the
course of university study. A number of
prominent persons will be present to explain
the meaning of university extension.

The Rev. Angusta Chapin will preside.

All working women are invited to this who
are in sympathy with the objects of the
club, and who wish to study. The matter
of their joining the club will be considered
after it has been shown whether or not the
interest is suficient to justify the forming
of such a departent.

The club ecpressed it unanimous opinion
that there should be women on the
school board, and such members as are entitled
to a vote pledged themselves to vote
on the school question at the November
elections.

The program was in the hands of the
department of Applied Economics of
which Mrs. Peattie is leader. Mrs. Cartwight
read two poems, "About Ben Adhem,"
and Longrellow's" Legend Beautiful,"
which embodied, so it was said, the
inspirations of the club An interesting
paper written by Mrs. Longstroth of Philadelphia
on "Women in Municipal Affairs"
was read bt Dr. Lankton. Mrs.
Peattie read a paper on "Our Responsibility
to the Poor," following it with the
reading of a bit of fiction which bore upon
the same subject, and or the reading of
which she apologized by styling the "betion
has in it a highter cud than fact?"

A tea drinking followed, which was of a
most social and selightful nature. Miss
Nettie Colins, Miss Gene Kouaize and
Mrs. Frank Hailer presided at the tea
tables. The house and home committee, of
which Mrs. C. E. Squies is chairman, received
many congratulations for its completion
of the heavy tash of selecting rooms
and furnished for the clubs.

The departments will low meet regularly
as indicated in in the manutis, The next
regular meeting will be the annual business
meeting.

Miss Anthony was expected, but did not
come. She will be here, however, in a few
days, and the club hopes to how her some
courtesy at that time.
