There are three State directors to be

own members. Mrs. A. ]. Newbury has
been chosen from the Womans Club. Mrs
Wright from the Open Hand, Mrs. Frank
Cavaih from the Odd Volumes. and the
Athena Club of Bayonne and Teachers
Club have all made nominations If
every city in the Federation has followed
Jersey City's example It might save a lot
OF trouble If the dictatorship were given
to the three largest of the eighty-five
clubs, as clubs can vote only through APP
pointed delegates, and one delegate is al
lowed to every fifty club members

An instance of two many meetings in
the Womans Cub was brought out at
. the Literature Department meeting last
Wednesday. It was the desire of the de-
partment to give a course of lectures on
THE Modern Novel, with Miss Antoin-
ette Carroll. Of Brooklyn, as lecturer, the
course to consist of five lectures but it
was almost impossible to find day free
from club meetings. After considerable
discussion in which it was found that
Monday was not available. as that was
either Philanthropy or Home day, Tues
day was Music Day, Wednesday was
Literature, and Thursday Town Improve
ment or Education Day. and Friday and
Saturday were unavailable because so
many left town Friday for over Sunday,
1t was decided to take a sort of census
of the meeting. The members were al
asked just what departments they be-
longed to. 1t was finally discovered that
Monday, save the third Monday in the
month, on which falls the Home Depart
ment, came the nearest to being avail
able The dates set were for Mondays in
November and December. barring the
third weeks. The lecture subjects are:-
ssrhe Prelude s'The Climax s'The
Minor Motif "A Great Divide. and
'sThe Tale and the Character. The
course will be given at the residence of
Mrs John A. Walker, No. 26o Montgom-
cry street.
The disputed point between DR.. VIII
liam Pyle and George H. Bowiy in the
qualifying finals for the fail champion
ship last Saturday has caused no little
comment among the golfers OF course,
according to the rules of the game Mr..
Bowsy had a perfect right to lift his bail
out of difficulty to any point on the fair
green not nearer the hole played for, but
the question at issue was whether such
a rule might not encourage bad drives
or at least give poor players an unfair
s5vantage. For instance, player could,
a1rording to the rules drive his bail into
Impossible position for the following
drive, but by lifting it might place ii in
Ere shot of the hole, taking advantage
OF his bad drive to get better position
an his opponent who had made good
drive. The new rule, however. made by
tre Greens Committee in consequence Oh
tbs dispute. does not admit the lifting
Of a ball more than a clubs length out Of
c.facuity.
