gone on much the same as prior TO Febru-
airy Is. In fact the card parties seem to
be increasing rather than diminishing.
To be sure some few there are, good
Episcopalians for the most part, who
have absolutely refused the heart and
hand of the card table during Lent, and
are therefore,, for the time being, divorced
from society's welded profession, but

After all the club woman and the aver
age shopper are very much alike. To
save time they omit r~efreshment. AT

the Wonan's Club. Thursday, when the
meeting was unlimited in length and bust
ness. refreshments for the first time since
March, 1895, were omitted.
One of the amendments to the consti-
tuition recommended to be acted upon at
the annual meeting of the Woman's Club,
Thursday, was the striking out of the
words .half past in Article VIII, Sec
ton. l. making it to read 1.-THE regular
meetings of the club shall be held at
three o'clock in the afternoon. of the first
Thursday in each month, from October to
May inclusive" This would seem hardy
fair. as it would necessitate the school
teachers, who constitute a goodly proper
ton of the club. either coming in later or
not attending at all. On the other hand
some of the members claim that by begin
ming thirty minutes earlier they would
get through thirty minutes earlier. This
might be the law of the Woman's Club,
but it is not the law of public speakers.
With all due respect to the Woman's
Club, there are more ways than one of

would only be as constitutional in ad-
journment as they are in some other
things. they would follow the rules set
down in Section 4 of the Bylaws, which
after defining the various duties of the

The Woman's Club is planning to give
a reception in April. not a breakfast, nor
a h~ncheon-no, not even an afternoon
tea, but a regular evening reception, to
which not only one, but dozens of men
will be invited, and with no more ardu-
Gus duty than to make themselves agree

One of the best moral lectures ever
given was that set before Sorosis at a
recent meeting, when a prominent lee
turer, after being presented by the pre-

and said:-"Ladies, my address is

of a fourth Mr.. Headden, on Tuesday
morning last. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Headden, third, and even now
