chorus. (The "A. B. club-sometimes
known as the Anti-Bachelor club-al-
ways referred to each other as girls.)
at will come up under miscellaneous
business" terseiy replied Mrs. Crackle.
Routine business proceeded. 1t was
decided, among other matters, after
heated argument, to meet on Thursday
instead of Friday, because Mrs. MINIS
husband never came to dinner on Thurs
day, and she could much more easily
get out to the meetings. The sum of
S1.25 was voted to have the constitution
and bylaws printed, and then came
miscellaneous business.
"Mrs. Tu!ly will please take the
chair" requested the president in a
manner indicative OF something ex-
traordir0ry ahead.
'My idea is this; to issue a woman's
edition Of the Lunaville Lamp"
"0h, capital" responded all but one
member. Mrs. Whiler demurred. She
held radical ideas as to the limitation
to be. put upon feminine effort, and she
expressed. them.

she. "A!qinfavor will say"
"Mrs. TuEy," interrupted Mrs. De-

without desiring to injure Mrs. De-

There was prospect of schism and

an the interest OF harmony" re-
marked Mrs. Whiler, ~ temporarily
withdraw my motion to adjourn"
Then. by a vote of IL to 2, Mrs. Crackle
refraining from voting because Of mod
esty, it was decided to issue Il woman's
edition of the Lunaville Lamp. Quite
naturally, Mrs. Crackle was made ed
itrcss-in-chief. To placate Mrs. DcMur,
she was made managing editress. Mrs.
Whi.er was offered the business man
agement. but she refused.
Ladies'" said she, at would not be
possible forme to.act. Besides, it would
appeal to me impropoh faw me to ac-

So Mrs. Jejune was made business
manager. Mrs. Crackle, Mrs. DeMur and
Mrs. Jejune at once went to see Editor

loved wife.

Crackle.
"Huh! Just for one ISSUE" repeated
McJnck, cutting paper with increased
impetuosity. 81 don't want any woman
poking her nose into this office. Good
day!"
Three crestfallen women later ap-
peared in the office of Editor Overjoy, of
the Tripod.
"Why, certainly" said he. "Of course!
The Tripod is at your disposal"
And so it was arranged. Mrs. Crackle
at once made headquarters at the Tri-
pod office, while her husband ate cold
dinners. Mrs. DeMur began looking
for contributions and Mrs. Jejune and
her staff of attractive young ladies be-

vile.
The week before the woman's edition
was to appear was trying one to the
Tripod office. Foreman Limmer was
gruff fellow at best and is women did
not improve his natural temperament
They asked all sorts Of questions; de-
manded a reason for calling p-i pi; asked
il quad and quoin were not identical
and capped the climax by insisting that
articles for the woman's edition be set
in type with frills.
'Mr. Limmer," inquired Mrs. Crack.e,
