Novel Row in Clubdom

The Beethoven club, composed of the
leading society women of Canton, o., has
been thrown into wild dscord by the an
nouncement that fourteen Of its popular
members, maids and matrons, have been
made defendants IN a damage suit for

been the critic of the Beethoven club. and

things, she said

An engagement luncheon to be given next
week for a fashionable girl offers sugges-
tons in table decoration which may be fol-
lowed to advantage by others. The general
scheme of ornamentation is that OF a con-
servatory and aviary combined.
The birds used in the decorations are
about three inches long, so built that they
balance when the tiny hook, which is an
excellent substitute for claws is placed on
slender twig or wire. The birds look
like paroquets. They are probably made OF
papier mache, and come in different colors,
but for the young girls luncheon those OF
white, shading to a pink tone In the neck
and head, were chosen. The small toy
shops sell them and they cost as . rule 10
cents each.
In the center OF the table for the en-
gagement luncheon are TO be sprays OF
orange blossoms, growing APPARENTLY from
a messy bank. The birds are perched
among the flowers, on the natural stems.
Such an idea could be modified, using
only a natural bare branch, for the birds
make quite enough ornamentation. Tiny
little swings. such as are used in cages
are placed one at either corner Of the
centerpiece and a bird Is perched in each.
