that certain women'S clubs, for the present
at least, probably preferred to run the risk
OF being indicted for selling liquor without
a license to braving the storm Of public
criticism which would certainly follow the
filing Of an application.
1t was generally admitted. however, that
the application of the Chiffon Club, in staid
and proper Boston, would help things along
considerably, and now that the ice was
broken several New York womens clubs
might follow suit. The Colony Club. for
instance. has no liquor license. in spite of
the fact that one OF the members when
asked replied without any hesi,ancy what
ever, "Oh. yes. we have one" Later, after
an investigation to find out In whose name
the license was granted, the member said
she was mistaken that the club had no
license. and that furthermore those enter
tainng there had TO send IN the wines and
liquors for their parties. However. as long
ago as June 9. 1867, notice signed by
the "house committee. NJ. Parsons, acting
chairman" which read: wine and cigar

the other mems clubs. an attache said that
during the last three years there had been
a steady decline in drinking among men,
that 20 per cent was a conservative esti-
mate. but that on ladies days the drinks
consumed increased 800 per cent. as against
200 per cent several years ago.

RE the wol-to-do clubwonen OF
~ America learning 10 consume more
[ n intoxicating liquors than they used
10. or are they only coming to have more
of the courage Of their convictions? The
query is prompted by the recent action OF
one Of Boston's most prominent and ex-
elusive women's clubs. the Chiffon, at NO
l52 Commonwealth avenue. In obtaining
a license TO sell spirituous liquors. Many
well known New Workers are included in
the membership of the Chiffon Club, and
Il is said that while the members were
divided into two factions there was little
opposition to taking the step. The dainty
Mattresses in attendance OF this club serve
cigarettes, and those who like TO smols :
seek the spacious roof garden, with us fine
furnishings and decorations given by Mrs
George Tyson, where the club smoking
room is situated, safe from the curious
gaze Of visitors. II Is the one room Of the
club which no guests are ever allowed TO
visit. The club had its housewarming in
its new home the other day, and all that
remained seemingly TO complete the happi-
ness Of the members was the granting OF
the license.
At the State Department; OF Excise Of
fees here in this city an examination OF
the records dscioses that no New York
club for women has license. nor IN the
knowledge OF the officials has a license
ever been applied for, although it was ad-
mitted that such an application would
cause no surprise. 1t was even mildly
hinted that while the matter had never
been officially called 10 the attention OF
the department. 1t was known that mems
clubs were not the only clubs too poor or
too saving TO pay the $500 annual liquor
license fee. but which sold liquors to their
members just the same. One official. who

The Wheelers will leave Philadelphia in
few days for their ranch in the West
where they live for seven months Of the

The ranch 10 which the brothers. with
few friends will go in day or two, is
probably one Of the most widely known IN
the world. Tourists who have visited Ycl-
