So SAYS Counsellor Record, Referring to
His Address Before the Cosmos Club.
AZ the banquet of the Cosmos Club
Monday evening in the Hotel Washing
tor ladies were in attendance for the
first time in the history of the club.
Strange to say. the first appearance
of the ladies' is followed by the re port
that some i'll feeling was d. Not on
account of the presence OF the ladies at
ali. because the Cosmos Club is
noted for its kindness to the
fair sex, but because the ladies
to some wittieisms of Counsellor George
+. Records, Mrs. Jennie G. Croly Jennie
Juue) addressed the meeting on
"Woman,s Clubs" At the conclusion of
the address Counsellor Record poked
q little fun at the ladies. and
it seems 1t was misunderstood.
Mr.. Record was made aware Of 1t shortly
after he had concluded MS remarks. In
speaking of tho matter today he said:-
II have been informed That SOM Of the
ladies TOOK offense at what !
said, can assure them no
otfense was meant. It was a test
Of wits. When l was called upon to
speak | did not think It was necessary to
say:-.This is no JOKE DO not
be- offended I think Mrs. Croly
understood my remarks. 1t Is
an assured fact that no gen.
tlenan would offend who had been
invited to address the club. However, |
am sorry my meaning was -miScoDstrued.
What I said was IN fun, not earnest"
