derstanding that that means any time
until half past, is the regular time for
all formal dinners. Sometimes the in
vitations bear the hour of half-past
eight, but that is unusual
Dinners given before balls, for in
stance, are set at that time in order
to make it unnecessary for the guests
to return to their homes before going
to ball.
One of the influences at work to
strengthen the tendency to a later din
ner hour is the distances that persons
are obliged to travel.
The ordinary man of business is kept
in his office until an hour which makes
| it almost impossible to get up town,
dress, and reach the house to which he
has been asked before seven.
The clerk who lives far up town is
rarely able to get to his home in time
to take dinner before seven o'clock, and
unless there is the theatre in prospect,
he is not likely to be so prompt or
quick as to be at table by that time.
Dinner before the theatre has come
to mean, to persons who start out for
that kind of an evenings entertain
ment, only as much of the theatre as
can be seen without hurrying after
dinner. Dinner with the theatre has
come to mean only the dinner with the
theatre as a succeeding possibility.

AMERICAN CLUB WOMAN.
She Has Club All to Herself in Lon

The American club woman is not to be
subdued merely because she happens to
be somewhat far from the land of her
birth. The latest development of the
woman's club is the organization founded
by the women from this country who
now live in London The club has beer. as
carefully organized as if it were in an
American city. and rooms have been en-
gagged in one of the leading London
hotels. In order that the women may see
one another frequently and not have time
to lose interest, an arrangement has been
adopted by which during nine months Of
every year the club members will be GER
tain to meet once every four weeks Then
a luncheon will be given. During the late
summer and at other times when the
members are not likely to be in London
the regular plan of meeting will be aban-
doned. The object of the club is to provide
for American women in London q place
of meeting similar to those which exist
there now for English women. The
American residents of London have en-
