Epigrammatc Opinions Of Chicago Club Women Give

Intelligence, Good Managemen Mt and Good Cooking.

1t is evident that Chicago club women
know how to talk and to do it in an enter
tanning and stimulating way, even if the
method sometimes appears trifle frothy
and stacy. Their choice Of subjects seems
largely responsible for their tluency on
many occasions. They also seem to tend to
epigram, an indication of clever leader
ship in drawing them away from long
winded papers.
AT a notable talk meeting" this week,
the subject propounded, ''Three Essentials
Of a Happy Home,' and a time limit of
three minutes forced the discussion into
epigrammatic form and some very bright
statements We're evolved. The meeting
under the auspices of the Social Economics
club lasted all day and at 5 o'clock there
We're speakers wanting to be heard and
others wanting to explain their previous
remarks. It was a. reciprocity day and
over 100 clubs were represented. The
variation Of opinions was still larger, as
none Of the speakers concurred exactly

Swama Abayananda of the Philosophical
society answered for the idealsts.
I cannot view the home as resting on
money! she said. Tho the food may be
scanty, clothing poorsaand shelter mean,
yet there can be q home. Without love
you certainly cannot shave a home.''
DR.. Frances Dickinson, president Of the
club, said that freedom, ftcompanionship
and money were ,thefsthree essentials.
