New York Mail and Express: Among
all the cities Of Europe and America
there is not II hat offers to women
the delightful variety of clubs that
London does. These organizations are
not women's clubs as We understand
the term in America. 1t is not neceS-
sary to go in for politics, for woman's
rights, for missionary work at home or
abroad. The clubs are conducted just
as the mems clubs are and fulfill the
same urpoS
Take the New Century, for example,
in Berkeley street west, near the home
of Lord Lansdowne, the former score
tary for foreign affairs. AS Il enters
the big doors there are the small boys
in uniform ready to AXE in your card
if you are a visitor, or to hand your
letters and kilograms if you are a mem
Der. The hall is spacious, and at the
end, facing the entrance, is d wide
stairway leading to the sleeping rooms
above, to the bat room and rest rooms.
The big hall isl finished in red n
white, and logs are burning in an open
CRATE.
Beyond the reading and writing

Where Noted Women Meet
In Norfolk street, in the Strand, IL
the very center of the old and fas-
cinating part of London, where all the
houses are filled with historic memo
ries. is the home of The Writers. At it's
Thursday afternoon teas the rooms are
filled to overlooking with women whose
names are amous in the literature of
the day and singers and actresses of in
ternational reputation.
This club is coins to abandon it's old
quarters for more roomy ones; but it
must be with great regret to the men,
bers. for nowhere else will be found the
atmosphere of this part of London,
hemmed in, as 1t is, on all sides by old
streets. old buildings and parks that
were the haunts of Dickens, Thack-
eray. Goldsmith, DR.. Johnson and other
immortals.
