4 1 phases in the growth of women's S
clubs is the moment when each
and every organization feels that
it's own. For year or two 1t is all
very we'll to meet in crowded drawing
rooms or school houses or the rooms
of some other club; but after awhile
every clubwoman begins to appreciate
the value of assembly rooms where
window boxes with their own gerani-
ums may bloom, and blackboards and
bulletin boards upon which nothing
that is not about our club" is ever

The members of the Cap and Bells
club will assemble for the first meeting
of the year on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember with an unusually good musical
and dramatic program to open the sea-
