club are meeting with gratifying success.
The club lists at the last meeting, held
Tuesday night, embraced ninety names.
A that meeting committee was appoint

is the limit OF membership, and thc COM
mttec, though Il has given but two DAYS
work 20 the business, easily added
IS names to the list, making total Of
1853. But 35 additional are required to
complete the limit of membership, which
can not 20 above 200 Those who wish
TO obtain the advantages OF membership
had better apply early or they may be too
late. "First come, first served, Z" will be
the rule.

mcndation Of the movement 10 organize a
social club upon substantial business
basis in Fort Worth, and is glad to see
success assured The objects of the as
ISOLATION are for mutual improvement,
socially and otherwise. Plans have been
adopted for the erection of an elegant
clubhouse, and at the next meeting.

membership of 200 lsmadt up, the club
win have a fund OF $50, 900, easily paya-

money an elegant buildlng can be put M

While the purposes OF the club are In
some measure social, they are also of
business nature Such a place will be
the headquarters of business meetings,

Fort Worth and other cities of Northern
Texas are blessed with many OF the good
things of this life, but they are lacking In
one thing that tends to make ones home
enjoyable that one thing Is household

though able and willing TO pay good wages,
can generally but procure very unworthy
and unrcltfhlc domestic help. This being
the case housekeeping is truly ycxation
