WHY THE LUNAvILLE A. B. CLUB
CAME TO A DISASTROUS END.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Il NIRLs, l have an idsa," exclaimed

Mrb' NTuchLe, pre6lOenD OF INT
Lunaville A. B. club, as the members
came to order for the regular meet
ing.
"What is it2" inquired ID girls ii
chorus. (The a. D. club--somettmes
known as the Antl-Bachelor club-al
ways referred TO each other as girls)
ut will come up under miscellaneous
business" tersely replied Mrs. Crackle
Routine business proceeded It 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
$1.25 was voted to have the constitution
and bylaws printed, and then came
miscellaneous business.
Mrs. Tuliy will please take the
chair" requested the president in a
manner indicative of something ex-
traordtnary ahead.
my idea is thds; to issue woman's
edition Of the Lunaville Lamp"
ooh, capital" responded all but one
member. Mre, Whiler demurred. She
held radical ideas as to the limitation
to be put upon feminine effort, ond she
expressed them.
II think" she said, "bb would be very
impnopah to entail upon any such
scheme. I have ueveh been favorably
impressed with such effohts. You will
excuse me, ladies, but am quite suah
that Ouah cause would be much noah
benefited by confirming ouahselves strict
ly to woman's spheah,"
ITO get the matter before the club"
sui1 Mrs. DeNlur, who had hitherto re-
Trained from talking, II move you,
Nine. President that this club issue one
number OF che LunAvillo Lamp"
II move that we adjun,D interposed
Mrs. Whiler, who had determined to
thwart the plan to get outstde ''wom-
ans spheah."
Mrs. Tully, who was stiR in the chair,
very properly proceeded to put tho mo-
ton to adjourn.
ut is moved that we adjourn" said
she. "AlIinfnvor willeay-"
"Mrs. Tu1ly," interrupted Mrs. De-
Muir, "E made my motion first, and
want it put first"
Without desiring to injure Mrs. De.
Mur's feelings, Mrs, Tully kept on put
ting the motion to adjourn. Mrs. De-
Muir further objected.
81 insist" said she, putting her foot
down suggestively, ut Is only fair, my
motion having been made first, that it
be put at once"
There was q prospect of schism and
Mrs. Crackle asked Mrs, Whiler for the
good Of the club to Withdraw her mo-
ton,
"In the interest of harmony" re-
marked Mrs. Whiler, II temporarily
my motion to ADJOURN"
Then, by vote OF 10 to 2, Mrs. Crackle
refraining from voting because of mod
esty, it was decided to issue woman's
edition of the Lunaville Lamp. Quite
naturally, Mrs. CraclIle was made ed
itress-in-chief. To Placate Mrs, DeMur,
she was made managing editress. Mrs.
Whiler was offered the business man
but she refused.
"LGdies," said she, st would not be
possible forme to act. Besides, itwould
appeah to me impropoh faw me to ac-
cept the ofrah."
So Mrs. Jejune was made business
manager. Mrs. Crnckle, Mrs. DeMur and
Mrs. Jejune AZ once went to see Editor
Of the Lamp. Mr.. McJack was
a crusty old widower, whose respect for
woman as an entity died with his be-
loved wife.
'It would be Just for one issue, you
know, Mr. McJack," pleaded Mrs.
Cracile.
"Huh! just for one issue" repeated
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 twas arranged. Mrs. Crackle
at once made headquarters at the Tri-
pod Office, while her husband ate cold
dinners. Mrs. DeNur began looking
for contributions and Mrs. Jejune and
her staff of attractive young ladies be-
gan psstering the merchants of Luna
lille.
