RICHMOND PEOPLE ENTERING
UPON THEIR SUMNER OUTINGS.
THE WOMAh'S CLUB NEXT WINTER.

A Hfgh7y-Interesting Programme
Arranged for the season-The
study of Classic Music-where Our
Friends Are Going.
A little while ago IL was the dancing
men who were most In demand; now II
is the trunk men. All over the city fami-
lies are moving towards the seashore
and the mountains. the young girls going
to do their duty by the students OF the
colleges now closing. and the mothers
| to take the younger generation to cool
| places where 1t will not be tempted TO
fall Ill. Those who have not gone are
intending to 20 soon, or will soon intend
to go. There is generally at the begin
ming Of the summer party of Richmond
| ers who say they will spend the
summer at home; because IL Is 80 foolish
to go away when you can really be SO
much freer and more sociable among
your own lares and penates. little
later the mosquitoes come and the
weather becomes hotter than 1t has been
for twenty years" Then those stayers-
at-home go away.
The members of the Richmond Wo-
| mans Club have a very fine programme
for next year to look forward TO. The
| Programme Committee-Mrs. John Hunt

in the club to treat those subjects lor
the benefit Of the club members. Inc
