l^HUTHE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Women hi the Grange. 
Just at present in the West Newbury 
Grange No. 146 we have 184 members, 
with two-thirds of them women. We are 
preparing a ladies’ degree team, which 
will materially assist the officers, par¬ 
ticularly the Master, whose duties are 
many. There will be a drill master pro¬ 
vided to conduct rehearsals and invent 
unique and interesting floor-work. Of 
the regular officers, the lecturer and sec¬ 
retary are women, and our lecturer for 
years has been a woman, while our pro¬ 
grammes are always businesslike, inter¬ 
esting and instructive. What more could 
one ask? We do not believe in separat¬ 
ing the interests of the farmer and his 
wife. We more often discuss the sub¬ 
jects of interest to both. For instance, 
wo had an evening a short time ago with 
subject assigned, ‘‘Hens, do they pay?” 
Several brothers gave their opinions, 
and then a member of the committee for 
the evening addressed the chair thus: 
“Worthy Master, they put me on this 
committee, but I guess I’d better let my 
wife talk. She can give you some 
points.” And she did. Talk about your 
systematic business man! How about 
the systematic farmer’s wife? That wo¬ 
man knew what she was talking about, 
and she proved that more than one 
brother had made mistaken statements. 
Then one or two sisters spoke and the 
Grange decided that there was money in 
hens, and also that the sisters had shown 
themselves “level-headed” in argument. 
Another topic for discussion was the 
central school system. It was in prac¬ 
tice here, and many mothers objected. 
We had a lively meeting that night, and 
made such a stir that the members of 
the school committee who were present 
promised to discontinue the system as 
detrimental to the children. During the 
year we have two evenings specially for 
the work of women. They are the “Mar¬ 
ried Ladies’ Night” and “Old Maids’ Op¬ 
portunity.” There is always a keen rival¬ 
ry resulting in plenty of fun for us all. 
The mothers usually give a supper, 
music and reading or a drama. Then the 
daughters have ice cream, candy, pop¬ 
corn or cocoa and crackers, a drama or 
burlesque of members and lively games 
to fill in. The relief committee is com¬ 
posed of women. The Grange is not a 
benefit order, yet it does many a dis¬ 
abled member untold good to see a sym¬ 
pathetic sister, with a glass of jelly, a 
dainty pudding, or something tempting, 
to hear the kindly, harmless neighbor¬ 
hood gossip, and feel that she is the 
messenger of all the brothers and sis¬ 
ters, bearing their sympathy to you. 
One of the big things the women have 
accomplished is the starting of a hall 
fund. We are renting the J. U. O. A. M. 
hall at present. It is very comfortable 
and in many ways convenient, but one 
bother is, we cannot serve refreshments 
or play games there, and it is quite a 
trouble to use the banquet hall at every 
such time. The matter of a Grange hall 
was discussed, but the brothers inclined 
to the view that we couldn’t afford it, 
and were quite well off where we were. 
There the matter rested—for awhile. 
Then one evening the lecturer an¬ 
nounced her desire to start a sewing cir- 
cle, and every sister was earnestly ask- 
GROWING 
LENGTHWISE 
You want the children to 
grow, but not all lengthwise. 
When they start that way 
Scott’s Emulsion will help 
them to grow right—with 
due plumpness and outward 
proportion, and with inward 
vigor and good spirits. 
The Emulsion increases 
digestive power and strength¬ 
ens the vital organs to get 
the best and make the most 
out of all the other food. It 
gives a kind of help that every 
growing child ought to have.

ed to be present, at. the lecturer’s home 
the following evening. A few meetings 
later she again called for the members 
who were interested in music to come to 
her house on the next pleasant evening, 
at seven o’clock to practice for some¬ 
thing. She didn’t say what, and curios¬ 
ity drew many. Then we heard no more 
for at least three or four months. She 
startled us then by suggesting that the 
Grange hold a fair, the proceeds to start 
a hall fund, even making a motion to 
that effect. It was a close vote, but 
negative. “Very well,” she said. “If 
the brothers won’t help it will be more 
glory for us.” She told how the circle 
had a nice lot of salable articles pre¬ 
pared. The amateur minstrel troupe 
was in splendid trim, and she asked for 
another vote. It was the same result 
again. Then this sister arose in wrath. 
She declared the sisters alone would hold 
that fair, and in reply to our brothers’ 
expression, “It won’t amount to any¬ 
thing—one fair,” she said: “We will 
start a hall fund, and I believe we have 
Yankee spunk enough to keep it grow¬ 
ing.” Well, they did. At the last a few 
brothers offered to help. Their services 
were kindly but firmly refused. The sis¬ 
ters felt they were on their mettle. They 
cleared fifty-odd dollars for the start, 
and the enthusiasm of the whole Grange 
has been aroused. In fact, the hall fund 
is the pet of the brothers, and we cer¬ 
tainly shall build a hall soon, thanks to 
that plucky pioneer sewing circle. We 
are a strong, lively Grange, and the sis¬ 
ters do their share, adah e. colcord.
