The experiment of workingwomen's clubs, which was begun in New York about four years ago, has succeeded far beyond the expectations of its promoters. In the parent society during the past year there has been an average attendance of 106 members. They have rooms in the central part of the city. With dues amounting to but twenty-five cents a month and some extra fees for the payment of teachers, they enjoy advantages which were formerly out of their reach as individuals. Among the occupations which have been exercised to advantage by the parent club and the many branches that have sprung up in New York and vicinity are dressmaking, type writing, millinery and drawing.—Chicago Times.
