few opportunities of INDUCING in gambling
of any sort that the mild variety afforded
by these clubs is great boon, greater, in
deed, than her masculine friends can
imagine: though it's nothing unusual to
hear a man saw: "Oh. yes, / had excellent
luck, but | was playing with Mrs. Blank.
She is nice woman, bnG she doesn't know
any more about playing cards than q cow"
OUT-oF-poORS.
After the interest exhibited by our ladies
in the carnival clubs it was expected that
an immense number Of clubs for out-Of-doOr
sports would be organized, but the dear
girls have disappointed the public. They
did talk of tennis club. but they have
abandoned the project 1t is probable, how
ever, that they will be made honorary men,
bers OF the mems club, and allowed eXclu-
sive use of the grounds on Summit avenue
at specified times.
The Humor club. as its name indicates,
does not go in so much for Improvement of
the mind as for genuine good times. 1t
has no permanent home. but is dependent
upon the hospitality of its members. Dane

But the Coffee Katsch club! Bless us!
there isn't the least doubt in regard to the

and Mrs. Pfankuch. They meet at each
others homes in the afternoon, drink coffee
from the daintiest of china, and discuss all

of course, absent club members.
THE COOKING CLUB.
There are af1oat certain mysterious ru-
mors of a cooking club, lineal descendent
of the famous cooking club in which the
Misses Banning and the Misses Smythe,
among others, were once interested; but as
there cannot be found single man who has
sampled its culinary triumphs, we must
| conclude that the rumOrs are entirely with
out foundation.
WINsOME GoSLINGs.
Stroll into the high school building any
afternoon, and you will surely come upon
some fair maiden who wears, among her
other adornments, little badge bearing the
| initials ''W. g." Now, this badge is the
outward and visible sign of club. What
the object of the organization is, and what
its members do, are mooted questions, for
no living wearer OF unmentionableS has ever
been present at club meeting and the
fortunes Of the lnquisition could not wiring
from those heroic young females an ex-
| PLANTATION. The boys do say, however,
| that the cabalistie. ''W G." stands for moth
ing more or less than 'sWinsome Goslings."
In mercy we withhold the names of the
st. Anthony hill ladies, married and single,
who started club of their own. They
were perfectly tired of men, they said. and
determined to completely mystify and ig
more their male friends and relations.
Their first meeting was a brilliant success;
they talked clothes and scandal to their
hearts content and enjoyed themselves
amazingly. The next time they met they
remarked. at frequent intervals, how nice
it was without the gentlemen, and two of
the girls quarreled SO violently, about the
char acter of some sweet youth, that they
haven't yet made up. They separated early
At the next meeting there were several alb
Sentees, and much yawning was INDUCED
in; indeed. everybody was half asleep when
the rafting of a latch key and the unmis-
tax able tread of masculine feet in the hall
below brought every mothers daughter to
her feet, and bangs were hurriedly pulled
down and bustles poked up. Mrs. Blanks
husband and the friends who accompanied
him say that they never received so much
attention before and never hope to again.
The ladies fattered and caressed and made
much of them, and although no regular
vote was taken the club was by common
consent dissolved.
