work, but to one club, the Jersey City

When the Woman,s Club went 10 the
expense OF pIluli4S A
year book or calendar, 1t was expected
that the usual custom of sending out pos
tails to notify each member OF the ap-
proach of a Department meeting would
he abolished. as the club women had only
70 omen their calendars to page 3, where
thew would find the various Department
meetings for every month with their cor
xesnonding dates. This, however, the
wamen have not yet been educated up to,
and it sometimes happens that Mrs. So
and So did not attend a certain meeting
because she did not know about it. If the
women would glance over the specified
page in their calendars every Monday
avoided. At present there is some talk in
the various departments of returning to
the old system of notifying the members
bv most.

ors with the Jersey City girls just now,
NOT because the girls are interested in the
International Horse Show in New York,
but because the Princeton boys are ac-
.uallv coming to Jersey City next Tuesday
evening. when they will give a concert in
Hasbrouck Hall, and perhaps incidentally
give the girls. a few odd dances.
last year the girls were disappointed.
