MRS. LONDON ENTERTAINs.

Another delightful meeting of young
club women was held with Mrs. John
London, who entertained the members of
the Nineteenth Century club-some
twenty-five young women both from the
married and unmarried sets. 1t was the
final meeting of the club and as usual
the occasion of farewell for the summer
was made interesting by the president,
who Is noted for her originality and cor
dial hospitality.
The club has been studying the prog
ress of America, and as final touch
in contrast to the serious work of the
year a "Deestrick School was arranged
in Mrs. Londons drawing room. With
Miss Elizabeth Cleveland in the role of
the teacher, and the other club mem
bers completing the cast, the entertain
ment was greatly enjoyed. There was
also a flower contest in which simple but
pretty prizes were awarded. A luncheon
was served later in the afternoon
Mrs. London has been president of the
club since its organization several years
ago. At that time only unmarried women
We're eligible to membership. When a
Nineteenth century girl married she re-
NAMED in the club if she desired, and If
she moved to another city her name APP
peared among the honorary members
printed each year in the clubs prospectus.
So many girls married while members of
the club that the membership was greatly
reduced and a bylaw or perhaps 1t was
an amendment to the constitution, any
way, young married women are now
elected to the club which has very
charming membership.
