TT CLIQUE OF girls who arc desirous oil
spending their reading hours to ad
vantage will find m excellent means
of so doing In the formation OF cluo
devoted to the study of the lives OF the
great personages of the world
The idea OF this club is TO decide to
the satisfaction OF all whether the
famous characters OF history or OF the
present day should really be given the
fame that is accorded them and whether
they have accomplished sufficient good
IN the world TO be deserving of place
among the immortals.
Many great persons have unfortunately
not been good or have left no stamp oi
better things behind them. Mnny OBJ
scure lives, on the other hand. have done
real benefit to mankind and nre worthy
of Il more prominent place than they arc
given in the Hall of Fame.
The future greatness Of the person
under discussion at each meeting of the
club hangs In the balance between two
members of the club-thc one who reads
the opposition paper and the ono who
brings out every possible point to show toe
big and noble acts IN the career OF the
character under debate. After each side
has read its paper q half hour, more or
less, is allowed for discussion, and then
when all have had their say the votes
arc cast and the man or woman hither'
10 at lenst well known is cast into OBJ
ltx-ta, 40

Hall of Fame Club arc concerned.
In any community where there is a
small or large cotcrle of girls any excuse
to get together once week is good

ployed to advantage In some way 80

which causes the mind 10 be used Is
worth while. Infinitely better than
