a large and exclusive woman's club in
Washington, to be formed along lines
similar to those of the famous Old Col
ony Club of New York city, is posi-
hility of the near future. y number Of
women prominent in social and official
life here are interested in the project
and have already discussed it. They be-
lieve that inaSmuch the city is. the
center of the official. diplomatic and
social life of the country, such club
should exist here. Women who are social
and official leaders of Washington have
said that some definite action is likely
to be taken soon, and the club when
formed will probably be the greatest in
stitution Of its kind in the United States.

house at a probable cost of about 81,
100000. Aside from it's social features it
will also take an active interest in char
liable and sociological movements.

ent in the proposed plan are members of

clubhouse at 10Th and X streets: the
Colonial DANES, with headquarters in the
Arlington annex, and the Washington

most prominent women are members of
these organizations. 1t is understood that

Tune been considering in a general way
the accession of more commodious quar-
tiers, and should the new project fail to
develop this organization alone may
undertake the erection of club building.
