 GIBsON's DEFINITION OF "LADY." "I dined with Charles Dana Gibson at Princess's restaurant in London du- ring the season." said a Chicagoan. "The lofty. spacious dining room was filled with women in pale gowns, their hair uncovered and their arms and necks bare, and though these women were fashionable. aristocratic they smoked cigarettes with their coffee as they watched the bioscope pictures that went on at one end of the Dig room. and as they listened to the sing ing that went on at the other. Amid all this feminine smoking ws Americans began to discuss and to de- fine the word lady Was 1t ladylfke to smoke? we asked. Would lady ever smoke? What was lady!
 q think Mr. Gibson's definition or a lady was the best that was given.
 "'A lady he said. ignoring the smoke question altogether, IS wo- man who always remembers others and never forgets herself --Philadsi' phia Bulletin.

The subject selected by Mrs. stout was '"The Influence of Clubs on Home Life" The line of thought was the result of the reading Of an artlcle on this subject by ex-Presldent 1roVe Cleveland in The Ladies' Home Journal. Tn this article, MT. Cleveland writes with disapproval of club life for "o- men. and in this discussion, the mem hers of the Ionian Club took issue with him. Several excellent short talks were made, pointing out the spienoiu movements that have resulted rom club work, and many good things oohe by women through clubs were named.
