CLUB WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.

THE NATIONAL publishes monthly an intensely interesting department under the above title. Short articles appear on live subjects by prominent club women throughout the country. Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin has articles in the October and January issues. In November, Alice Ives Breed is a contributor. The work of the different clubs receives full attention.

NATIONAL QUESTION CLASS.

This is a new department just established. Fifteen questions in art, literature and current topics are given each month, and FOUR PRIZES are awarded for the four best sets of answers. Every subscriber to THE NATIONAL becomes a member of this class by merely writing for a certificate of entry.

The search for the answers to these fifteen questions monthly is not only a pleasure but an education. Mothers should have their children try these contests.

Your newsdealer will sell you THE NATIONAL or take your subscription.
