King, Mrs. Peabody, Mrs. Hicks aTtl Mrs. Igleheart, has made possible their achievement of providing something new for that veteran club. Among the notable features of the no -. program are an afternoon or Mendelssohn's Oratorios arranged by Mrs. Plummer; a Japanese tea; Finland by one who has been there; Greek tragedy with illustrative reanings, and recent traveling trav-eling experiences of wandering members. it is an open secret that a certain prominent club has hard work to fill its offices, and that when at least a dozen women are privately pining tor the begging nonors. The Woman's Club holds its annual election next Tuesday. The Literary Club is trying experiments in dealing with the old old problem of non-attendance. One section has passed a resolution to fine absentee members 5 cents. Deponent saith not wiiat becomes of the multiplied nickel. Another section is combining the philosophy of a much-re- t vered poet with light lunches three viands allowed, al-lowed, more being deemed incompatible with proper prop-er digestion of the" too substantial mental fare. By the way, have you noticed the mutual jealousy jeal-ousy of Club and society. The club serves tea and likes to rub crinoline with the swell set. While society has annual attacks of club fever and passes poignant hours with an encyclopedia trying to beat the club woman at her own game. Is it a cause for wonderment that women insist in-sist upon study clubs when Eve ate of the tree of kr owledge in the face of the most awful penalty or w,as it a secret longing for clothes that made Eve transgress? There js a growing tendency among club, women wo-men toen courage original work. |
