Mrs. LIE Caffeine is an advocate of the
woman's club. She has just resigned
| from the Pioneers, which has been so
written about and exploited for the &C.
centricity Of its members, but intends
to join the Writers, another London
club more exclusively devoted to profess
sionaI women. where men are admitted
only every Friday, and where, on the
first Friday of every month, exceptional
amounts of cakes and ale are distrib-
uted.
Concerning her home life, Mrs. LIE
Gallienne was politely reticent. She has
stepdaughter of 4, little Hesper, to
whom she is devoted, who is now with
her grandmother in Liverpool, but
whom she expects to join them if their
stay in America is unlimited, as present
indications point. They have already
accepted an invitation to make one of
a house party next summer in the New
England home of Mr.. w. Phelps Dodge
and expect to do a great deal of travel
ing and sightseeing before they return
to England.
The prevailing characteristics of Mrs.
lie GaIlienne, gained in f1eeting visit,
are her sincerity and simplicity, not the
simplicity of the ingenue, but that of a
self poised woman, whose content is in
herself rather than in externals, who
would have sympathy with high aims
and would be strong enough to live up
to her theories of beauty in life as dis
tinguished from the merely snowy and
superficial.

Rathdrum. The Rathdrum

and won their laurels fairly, The

are out of practice and the team was
