Les Unes InternationaIes" met re-
Gently at Lipton's tearooms for their
first reunion this season, says a writ
or in the Paris edition of the New
Yark Herald. This woman's club is
rather unique organization, in that
it admits only one representative of
each art, science or profession. How
ever, this restriction does not apply to
philanthropists.
The club started year ago with
forty members. Now there are more
than hundred. The majority are
French, although there are Germans,
Swedes and ten English and Ameri.
cans.
I'm order to be consistent with the
fundamental idea of the society and
yet not to put too rigid a limit on the
membership, each art. science or pro-
feSsion has several subdivisions F'o1
example, there is not just one painter,
but painter of interiors. a water
colorist. a portrait painter, an illus
traitor and fashion designer. The
same subelassifications naturally hoIo

because OF the danger OF misueatmen,
without redress through our own
courts. but because the companies
which employ our citizens to repre-.
here in commissions. salaries and ex-
penses. which obey our laws and our
courts and pay taxes to the state. are
entitled to public support. Every
person who has the right to solicit
Insurance in Colorado has . license
