CLUB NOTES

The Alice Carey club closed it's sea-
son Thursday afternoon with a picnic
party given at Glen Miller park About
twelve members were in attendance.
Here's new way of pairing off the
men and girls for going in to dinner.
It's to play a game according to SINH
larity of tastes. For example, the
hostess makes out list of modern
novelists, typewriting each name in
two separate slips. Each set of slips
is dropped into different basket. One
basket is passed among the men, the
other among the girls, and each per-
son selects his favorite author. Those
who agree in liking the same one are
partners. The names OF novels, the
titles of popular songs or poems can
be utilized in the same way. Or pen
ny prints of celebrated paintings can
be duplicated and circulated for
guests to choose.

First Christian church will meet.

TUESDAY EVENING.

The work in hanging pictures was
begun in earnest yesterday. Mr.. Girar-
din, assisted by his committee was bus
lily engaged in hanging the 60 paint
ings by resident Indiana artists This
exhibit will be located in the south
east room of,the Garfield building. The
local paintings will be hung under the
supervision OF Miss Elliot. ..-
The exhibits, Of colored prints, spe-
cially imported for the local exhibit.
by Mrs. F. NJ. Johnston, will be one OF
the most interesting exhibits this year.
There are % prints in the collection
and will be hung in the northwest
room on the second floor of the build
ing. The prints can be sold only for
educational purposes as Mrs. Johnston
has an ironclad contract to such ef-
feet with the government. BY singh.
ing such contract no duty was charg-
ed on the prints.
The following communication rela.
tive to the needs of the association and
Its expectations was received yester.
day.
The directors of the Art association
have. in previous years sometimes sent
out printed invitations to the member
ship for the opening reception. They
will not do that this year. but instead
they wish to invite, through the public
press, all old members and all other
citizens who are interested In the
growth of the Art association and who
habitually attend the exhibits, to be
present at the opening reception on
Tuesday night. June the Sth. Mem
bership cards can be obtained at the
door. In order to keep the interest as
broad as possible, the directors want to
increase their funds by charging the
number Of members paying 30 cents
annual dues. Out of the thousands
who always attend the exhibitions, it
is believed there are at least one thous-
and who can easily and will this year,
become members.
For several years a list of about fifty
men of Richmond has contributed So
annually. 1t is hoped to increase this
list OF sustaining members to a still
larger number. The 5o-cent member
ship cards admit to the opening recep-
ton. to Mr.. Foulke's lecture. and the
recital at Reid Memorial church Such
