about twelve women, meets each Mon

interesting trips. The members have
ships that sail by land and sea and
explore the fields of science, art or
far off lands. Two trips are made by
the organization from October to May
without fear of winter SHOWS or spring
showers. The ships have twenty-five
home ports tthe homes of members)
from which they sail. They sail with a
limited crew but sometimes have the
pleasure OF a guest or two. new
captain is announced for each week
and to provide against storms two pi-
lots are used. The ships always sail
at two thirty o'clock and sometimes
many of the sailors fail to get aboard
They can wire regrets if they have a
good excuse, if not they can drop a
nickle in the slot when next they get
aboard. Sometimes the crew gets a
little gay but the captain soon brings
them into line. When the good ship
brings them into port in May ban
quet awaits them at one of the sail
or's homes and they toast to the sue
cess of the Magazine club and plan
new trips to be taken the next year.
