A walls among the women's clubs this
week, ranging from historic cele-
brations. theaters parties or literary
programs to scientific lectures. This
very diversity is perhaps characteristic
of the club movement and is the cause

assimilation, at least partial. Of many
things. on the other hand. therein lies
what many are pleased 10 term the
weakness of clubs, these critical ones
declaring that so many things are
touched upon that nothing is grasped

the minds of those who hold positive
opinions one way or another and il
seems probable that time must evolve
the solution.
