MRS. GREEN'S VIEWS

ment met in Room 1, Hasbrouck Insti-
tute. yesterday afternoon and discussed
the relative food value of fruit as COM
pared with meat The introduction was
a paper on How They Live in Cuba"
by Miss Jane Whinyates. She gave a
geographical sketch of the country, his
tory of its growths, the types of feminine
beauty to be found there. the table man
ners, the customs and a number of other
things.
But" exclaimed one woman, when
the kid-gloved applause had died down.
''you haven't said word about the
fruits they eat"
NO. replied Miss Whinyates, "be-
cause they don't eat fruit, only the very
poor classes; they eat meat"
Dear me-. unused one of the Pro-
gramme Committee, aloud. "only to think
of it. and we grouped Cuba with our
debate because we thought the natives
lived on Fruit"
Then the discussion turned on the red
haired beauties of Cuba, type of Span
ish beauty that greatly surprised the
club women. till somebody suddenly re-
membered that Queen Isabella of Spain
had red hair.
The "con' papers on the relative value
of food fruit being absent, Mrs. P. X.
Green had the argument all to herself.
She held that fruit and vegetable diet
was best because it took less time to di-
gest than meats and that even milk and
eggs were unnecessary to the vegetarian,
as they were only added for variety. AS
a matter Of fact, she said, man did live
on vegetables because he ate the cattle
fattened on grain. She concluded by
saying that in the vegetable diet was a.
new opening for woman for high class
vegetable cooking would be in great de-
mand
A discussion followed in which several
held up big healthy examples of vege-
rarians and consumptive examples of the
meat diet and vice versa The discussion
was ended by a motion TO adjourn.

New York City.
After all their trouble the "Giris'
Trade School," even in embryo, seems to
be white elephant on the hands of New
York's Federation of Womens Clubs.
The 81 900 raised at the Waldorf Astoria
reception, fair or bazaar, while the Fed
Grafton was in session last week in
Brooklyn, has proved but drop in the
bucket, and yet that drop is enough to
upset said bucket. 1t is to be established
according to some of the prominent club
women "up State instead of in New
York City, despite the fact that the wom-
en- down State namely, New York and
Brooklyn, objected to exerting them
selves for an 'sup State institution.
However, at the last moment when a
split was imminent, the down State wom-
en- agreed on the up State plan.

for sociability on big scale, sometimes
an excuse for electioneering ON election

GRAFTON realize it had $1,000 than it began
to see itself as others saw it. 1t would
take $4,000 to start the Trade School

aptly put it, Even if there was the
$4,000 in hand, where is the money COM
ing from to pay the running expenses y
One woman timidly suggested turning
the money over to one of the trade
schools already started, but was pounced
upon and completely squelched by Mrs
Lyon with
