The honors of the season are divided
lures. All the clubs of last year have re-
organized and many new ones have been
formed. sEuchre, euchre. everywhere,
and nc one has time to think" What lit
tie time is left free from playing is in
many cases occupied by prize hunting.
This feature Of the clubs is often rem
dered extremely difficult when the club
limits the hostess to a certain price for
prizes and she has to hunt all over New
York to find a prize that is pretty, that
everyone viii like and yet that is within
the proposed amount.

Mamie Cropsey held its first meeting last
night at the residence of Miss Edna

afternoons last winter to play euchre.

erchre at the residence of the Misses

the lectures, and there are many of them,
are not about things that an ordinarily
busy woman cannot understand and
doesn't want to. Two young ladies have
entered the field as lecturers who only
listened last year. They are both resi-
dents of Whittier House, Miss Mary Phil
brook and Miss Farrant. Miss Philbrook
has given her first lecture on Laws Re-
lating to Woman and she viii give four
more. Her lectures are given in the lee
ture room of the Bergen Reformed
Church. Both she and Miss Farrant are
wise in making their lectures Informal
and giving them the aspect Of class les
sons.

on the Development of the Novel; and
1t was SO well received that she decided
to give a series this season. Their will
be six lectures dealing with the different
classes of novels. The class will meet
