 men-Small Hat Campaign.

The latest development of club life in New York is what for the want of a bet ter name one may call a club for church. goers.
 The club house will be opened in the fashionable part of Fifth avenue, and rest and refreshment" can be obtained both on Sundays and week days. The venture is certainly bold one. An idea so novel will doubtless be followed by en- terpristng persons in the neigh borhood of fashionable churches in all parts of the metropolis. One may doubt. however, whether in most cases the spiritual good done by the church service and the ser- mon will not be altogether effaced by the subsequent chatter and gossip of the club.
 Others think it will appeal to cynical husbands (whe as a rule prefer the Home Baptist" to accompanying their wives to chureh) when they feel sure that on coming out of the temple they will be sure of little refreshment' to offset a sermon, dull perhaps from their point of view. At any rate, the, results will be watched with interest.
