The hours might be from 3 ~
busy women would want to go home
latter that to see about their personal
duties and at 4 o'clock precisely some
little refreshment would be in keep
i ing.
Bread and butter and tea are quite
enough for this bite, though, of course,
there is no objection to making it
more elaborate However, remember
that the more expense one is put to
the less likelihood there will be Of
the continuance Of these agreeable
little functions, and If half Of the club
members are without servants there
is the bother to consider. The visit
ling would be weekly, twice month

1.-THE society could chip in and have a
especially fine feast at one of the most
convenient homes, when few invita-
tons to husbands, sweethearts and
brothers would give the affair snap
of extra interest.
The gathering could be called the
ladies' club or the old fashioned club
or the ladies' meeting society. but q
rose by any other name would smell
as sweet. What is most important
lis for the ladies to get into the mood
for social intercourse so that the
time given up to the meeting will not
be thought wasted. If the affairs have
IA mental stimulus all the better. for
woman cannot live through trifling
Interests alone. She needs to know
what is going on in the world what
women are doing and reading and
hoping and thinking If she wants to
be anything of a person she must ac-
|quire some knowledge of the grander
literature, of plays, fine novels and
poetry.
So why not have as entertainer for
|every meeting some person set apart
|by appointment, who will read aloud
Tor introduce the topic for discussion?
Quite year could be given up to
|shakespeare's plays, knowledge Of
which is essential to polite life.
Then look at the civic and social
conditions that concern the woman of
