meet once week during the winter,
but make a picnic a month suffice during
the summer season. You remember that
the club is composed OF girls who are
IN stores or Offices all day and their
outings must be after 6. Some Of them

There Is a pavilion at the park. plenty

There were two other crowds there Tues

OF the girls could not leave town until
almost Z although they went straight
from work. and after that we had games.
Some must tell you about. The players
seated themselves in a circle. The
leader said: II took supper with Uncle
Ike last night" The next one said:
