Members Of the Golf Club have decided
to take advantage of the present thaw
and the work of moving the clubhouse

four hundred feet below West Side aven-
he began this morning. The house will
be moved across the Buyten Tuyn Realty.
Company's grounds in front of the Boul-
evard Laundry, and then down Bentley
avenue. A number of trees will have to
come down en- route, and the moving will
take about three days. Mrs, Roulette,
the stewardess will remain in the hcu~e
during the moving process to see that no
unnecessary damage is done. The Club
members are waiting expectantly for the
time when the moving will be over and
they can erect their squash courts. In
all probability it will be too late for skat-
ing Kinks this winter.
Now that rush of Christmas and New
Years is over society will sit down to
reckon with itself and week of dull
ness will ensue. Last week was unusu-
ally busy, although it was mostly taken
up with the doings of the younger sets,
the reaction has now set Even the Wo-
mans Club has planned no meetings for
this week, and there are comparatively
few euchre clubs to meet. The week fol-
lowing however, will make up for this
weeks dullness.
The Keramic Art Club will hold its
annual meeting and election of officers
this afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Coykendall, No. 81 Forrest street. In
all probability Mrs. James Erwin, the
present president, will be reelected.
There will be slight change in the
regular club meetings hereafter, in that
the lessons by out-of-town artists will
be discontinued. The club will, how
ever, continue its monthly competition
in china painting. The competition for
this afternoon is in cups and saucers,
have been donated, and .ch include sew
holly and mistletoe. The subject for dis
cussion is "violets.
Interest in Browning is to be revived,
that is if enough members can be gotten
together to make the interest pay. A
Browning class is to be started under
the auspices Of or in connection with
the Woman's Club, and as a special in
ducement lessons on voice culture are to
be thrown in gratis. No woman should
miss this chance, as the voice culture
lessons are not only guaranteed to make
woman speak SO as to be heard in all
parts of the hall in public speaking, but
also to give her sweet, well modulated
voice for private conversation.
