Officers Select Committees to
Supervise Work for the
Coming Year
Mrs. Arthur Cornwall Chosen
to Fill the Office OF Social
Chairman

After weeks of struggle with stubby
pencils hastily sharpened with the
nearest carver or pair of scissors, after
hours of patient argument and hours of
silent prayer after the consumption of
enough strong tea to supply Canton it
Sself for a year
After all this the officers of the Cali
fornia club have succeeded in selecting
their committees and arranging their
programs for The coming year, and the
result, neatly printed on the familiar
brown calendar, Will be mailed to the
500 or more members today. Every
woman who has ever lightheartedly
promised to arrange the program of
even the smallest country concert and
has tottered from that experience few
weeks later, wrecked in mind and body,
will be able to appreciate the really
tremendous labor involved in the task
of getting the California clubs dra-
matte and musical, scientific and social,
civic and literary menus prepared for
40 Tuesday afternoons. Little groups
of workers have been meeting daily in
the clubrooms in Clay street, and the
years work promises already to run
more smoothly and reach wider fields
of interest than the club has known
before.
