FOR WOMEN'S CLUBHOUSE
Brooklyn Corporation Formed to
Erect Building.

The club women of Brooklyn have at last
taken definite steps toward the realization
of the dream Of the last decade or more
a women's clubhouse A few evenings ago
the members OF the various women's or
CARNATIONS OF the borough met in the
chapel OF Packer Institute and pledged s2o.-
600 toward the $4,000 needed for the under
taking.
The movement began about ten years ago,
and the agitation then lasted a season. But
the attendant discussions brought only dis
agreement, and not because of the money
involved, either. The whole centre of argu-
ment was as to the proper place TO build
the proposed building. The women of
Brooklyn Heights considered their section
the most available. The women of the
Park Slope and those of the Stuyvesant
section considered that they had sites bet
ter, while the Eastern District organiza-
lions took only a languid interest in the
proceedings.
Things have changed considerably since
then. and now the european Club, the
chief organization of williamsburg. has
gone from the Knapp Mansion to the Pouch
Gallery, and is one of the leading bodies
in the movement, which took new lease
of life recently and is now well organized.
iu the enterprise held meetings quietly at
private houses. but they have now come
out in the open with strong bid for pub
lie support.
The women say that all the big cities
have their women's clubhouses, and that
Brooklyn is behind the times. They have
not decided upon site, but hope to have
little trouble now in selecting one. In the
last decade the opening of the Williams
burg Bridge and the development of the
Fiatbush section have caused a shift in the
population that has made a great differ
ence in the fashionable centres. Flatbush
is now growing into leading section OF
the well-to-do. 1t will have considerable
weight in deciding the location of the pro-
posed building.
The women have formed a corporation
for the erection and maintenance of the
building. Shares of stock in the corpora
ton sell for SO a share, and the leading
clubs and their members are fast purchas-
ing blocks. Nothing will be done toward
building the proposed clubhouse. however.
until the entire sum has been raised to
meet the cost of building The biggest
stakeholder so far is said TO be the Brook
lyn women's Club. which has already in
vested $500 in the enterprise The men,
bers of the european Club have also
bought much stock. but no announcement
has been made as yet as to the total
amount of their purchases.
Two of the leaders in the movement for
the clubhouse are Mrs. Don G.. Setz, chair
man of the subscription committee. and
Mrs. Eugene F. Grant, chairman OF the
site committee. Both belong to the Chiro-
pean Club. Another leader in the move
ment is Mrs Cornelius Zabriskie. chair
man of the organization committee. She is
a former president Of the Packer Alumna
and also OF the State Fedora

EX-sULTAN's FEAR OF POISON
Abdul Hands Elaborate Precautions
with His Food.

Abdul Hamid. ex-SdItan OF Turkey. has az
late been the subject Of many reports. ous
Of them being 20 the effect that he had
been deserted by his harem. According To
La Turquie." the ex-Sultan was IN s1ca
fear Of being poisoned that all food or drtnx
which he took had previously to be tasted
by some member OF bis entourage. Recent
ly he decided TO make similar regulations
with regard 10 the physic prescribed for
him by his medical attendants.
The result was that the women OF the
harem were called Upon 70 swallow nause-
GUS drugs and potiOns. a regimen which
soon told upon their health IN order 10
save themselves they decided 70 desert the
eZ-COmmander Of the Faithful. which they
did at the dead OF night 50 as to avoid
painful parting scenes with the prisoner"
From an incident at Frankfort Main
II would appear that after the dispersal OF
the ex-SuItans harem some OF the women
were fascinated by the fOOtlights Of the
vaudeville stage. The chief attraction at
Frankfort music hail has been eight "genu-
inc odalisques from Abdul Harnid's harern.r
who appeared under the charge Of two
eunuchs.
A number Of the audience discovered that
one OF the women spoke German with a
pure Berlin accent. He complained 20 the
police. who proceeded 10 the hotel where
posed fraud The Turkish Consul. being
called, declared that the passports proved
that seven Of the members OF the troupe
were actually women of the harem. The
eighth alleged odaIisque. who hailed from
Berlin. fell on her knees and fmplOred the
consuFs protection. declaring thar she had
been kidnapped BY the rSO Turks in charge
OF the troupe. The police released the girl
and are now making inquiries % ascertain
how she fell into the hands of the Turks.
