Friday Morning Club
Mrs. Ernest K. Foster is again occu-
pying the chair of the Friday Morn
ing club, which is Los Angeles Oldest
and most democratic organization. 1t
possesses as well the largest member
ship OF any club in this part of the
country.
Last year the club members began
to realize they had outgrown the club
house on Figueroa street and much
time this year will be devoted to the
consideration of plans for a new one.
The building committee appointed
just before the close of last year has
not been inactive during the summer,
and some interesting reports are sure
to be made when the club is once
more started in active work.
Unlike the Ebell club there are no
study sections. The members meet ev-
cry Friday morning and listen to
who visit Southern California.
Last year on several occasions pro-
grams were given by the club men,
bers and they proved to be so inter-
esting that the women are clamoring
for more of the exhibition of home
talent.
Mrs. Foster during her first year In
office proved herself to be a capable
and altogether charming president,
nd 1t fs, l. H.
success which will belong to the organ
ization this year.
The club luncheons, which We're a
delightful feature last season, will he
continued during this year, and from
time to time there will be informal
receptions and teas The club has a
membership of near 1000 and it's in
nuence is felt throughout the Pacific
coast. Intellectual improvement and
sociability are the chief objects of the
organization.

| enthusiastic little body Of east side
women, will continue their work on
much the same lines as last year This
club, too, has a new president, Mrs.
William L. Pitkin. Mrs. r. T. Sim
clair and Mrs. Frank B. Sturge arc
the vice presidents; Mrs. L. ". ]. Kim
ball, the recording secretary; Miss
Mrs. II. e. Ball the financial secre-
| tary.
| The first meeting of the year will be
held the first "Wednesday in October
1t Will be business and pleasure meet
| ing combined During that month
there will be a reception, as has been
the custom for eight years, the men,
bers of the board of directors acting
as hostesses. The club established a
| series of informal luncheons to fol-
low the study sections and these have
| always been most popular.
| The Shakespeare section will be un-
der the direction of Mrs. II. G. Cover,
who led the section so ably last year.
The physical culture class is also to
be a feature and the current history
section under Mrs. Jennie Foster is
attracting the attention of many mem
bers. The club will meet this year In
the new Woodmen hall on Pasadena
avenue.
Cosmos Club
The second Wednesday of October
will see the members of the Cosmos
club launched on another years work.
This organization, though one Of the
youngest of the larger city clubs, is
at the same time one of the most pro
gressive. Just before the close of last
year the membership limit was raised
from $50 to 200, and that number bids
fair to be much too small to accommo-
| date all those who would join the ranks
of the Cosmos club.
| The club will meet twice a month
on the second and fourth Wednesdays
except when there happens to be q
fifth Wednesday, and then there will
be three meetings. The fifth Wednes-
day will be members day and the
programs will all be given by members
of the club. Tea and a social hour
will follow these meetings.
On one Wednesday Mrs. Lou V.
Chaplin will deliver lecture and on
the other Mrs. Emma Greenleaf will
be in charge Mrs. Greenleaf gave a
series of book reviews last year, but
