OUT AND ABOUT.

The women who we're at the league
Wednesday have not yet ceased talking
about the bombshells and ire-crackers
of Mrs. Chamberllns paper on "Mu-
nicipal housekeeping ut home" Per-
sons who were not there may havesre-
ceived the impression that the meeting
Endorsed the essayist's arguments and
accepted her conclusions, but, while a
number of those who afterward dis
cussed the paper seemed to do both,
there were others who did neither. Had
space permitted, the report CT the meet
ing in yesterdays Spy would have con-
tanned q fraction of the lively debate
which began as soon as Mrs. Chamber
lin had ended. 1t must be said, in JUS
tiee to the league, that the city fathers
have no more ardent champions than
some of its members.
Mrs. Tryphosa Batchalfer's singing at
the College Club musicale Wednesday
gave great pleasure to the seventy live
or more ladies who were present. Her
pure and sweet soprano voice shows
the result of most slkilful cultivation.
Mrs. Batcheller looked very distin-
guished in a black velvet dress with
a large black picture hat and a rope
Of pearls.
The ladies' of the Benevolent Union
of Piedmont Church have had a life
size crayon portrait made Of DR.. George
II. Gould, and it will shortly be hung
in their parlor in the vestry. 1t IL hand
somely framed in gilt The work was
done at the Davis galleries on Elm
street. DR.. Gould was the pastor of
Piedmont Church during the first Ave
years Of its existence, and the BeneYo-
lent Union, which has done such a no
BILE work for twenty wears, was organ
lied during his pastorate. The very COR
dial relations established then between
the pastor and the women OF the socie-
ty have been maintained aud strength
ened since then. 1t Is eminentiy appro-
pirate that DR.. Gould5 portrait should
adorn the place where the Benevolent
Union habitually meets.
One of the pleasantest of the many
whist clubs of the city is that which is
known as the Fenellosa Club. 1t is COM
posed OF Is ladies', about half of whom
are members of q whist class which re-
eeives instruction Cone must state it as
seriously as that in these daysi) from
Mr. Fenellosa OF Boston. Mr.. Fenel-
losa meets the class every Monday fore
noon at the house Of one Of the mem
bers. to teach them; on Thursday af-
ternoons the ladies meet again to prac-
tice his precepts. The membership Of
the Fenellosa Whist Club was printed
in The Sunday Spy Of Feb. 5. At that
time, however, the organization Of the
club was incorrectly attributed to one
of the members, whereas in reality it
had it's inception with the ladies Of the
class
