MUCH TALKED ABOUT.
There has been considerable agita-
| ton in the central city regarding the
! formation of woman's club for some
time, but it remained for the enter
! prising residents of Green Ridge in
a business like way to form the organ
| ization, and with practical working
! plans and Il definite object. Green
! Ridge has for some time had a read
ing club which in a quiet way has
afforded much satisfaction to it's men,
bers. The present is a broader and
| more ambitious one in every respect.
1t is largely due to the enthusiasm
of Mrs. /. j. Lansing, wife of the past
or of the Green Ridge Presbyterian
church, that a wider scope has been
given to the outlook.
Last week a preliminary meeting
was held at her home and yesterday
the organization was gotten we'll under
way. Fifty or sixty ladies were pre-
| sent, a constitution was adopted and
a schedule of arrangements was sub
| mtted.
The duties of the active members
will be to attend all general meet
ings and perform all the assigned
| work. The associate members can
neither vote nor hold office and are
exempt from duties in the club, but
are privileged to attend the entertain
ments and regular meetings.
The constitution and bylaws were
read by Mrs. c. L. Davidson and We're
adopted.
The plan of work is to divide the clut
into four sections, the members select.
ing any or all subjects for study. Mrs
