That Is a funny fix the Friday Morning Club, OF
Los Angeles has got itself into The joke. it
should be added, is quite lost upon the women
most intimately concerned, although it contains
warning TO all clubwomen who build cubhouses.
The situation. in brief. IS this: The Friday Morn

clubhouse. which has since become one OF the
show places OF the city AS the members of the
club were slow in taking up the stock two
of means. not members. bought large blocks of
stock The building could have been erected
without these women who. by their generous
purchases. secured controlling interest. The club
has since occupied the house under a five years
lease. at a rent Of $l25 month And now. the
knowledge that they do not really own their club
house at all is brought home TO the members by
the fact that their lease being nearly expired, they
have been informed that If they wish to release
for the next five years II only be at an in
creased rental owing to the appreciation Of the
club property from $4,000 10 $2S.o)o. The club is
the crossing Of the ways II may buy the house,
of course. at the higher figure, it may release

1t is IN a hole. The members feel they have not
reaped the just reward Of their labors; for if the
bulk of the money came from outsiders, 1t was
their initiative. they claim that made the club
house possible. On the other hand the two inan-
cial hackers insist that having found the neces-
sary funds, they are entitled to the fruits OF
