MEET
IN LITERARY CLUBS
NeighborhoOd Groups Also Discuss
Puzzles-Women Work
Harder Than Men.

In many literary clubs throughout the
city discussion Of The Washington Her
AIDS Booklovers' Contest forms one of
the staple features of the meetings from
week to week Exchange Of views in
and often instructive -.
The discussion IS entirely Informal.
with no contestants forming groups. in
which some Of the leading puzzles are
dissected and analysed from every point
OF view. and interesting diversity Of
opinion is always gained. Frequently one
is SO positive that she has the correct
solution that she refuses to commit her
self in any way or share her answer with
the others.
This Is only one in many ways. In
which the contestants get In touch with
one another. There are many neighbor-
hood groups where the BookIovers' Con-
test is the chief point Of mutual interest.
There are many literary groups which do
not come under the designation Of clubs.
in which the puzzles from day to day
bring about many protracted debates
1t is extremely dificult to ascertain
whether there is a preponderance of
either men or women I'm the contest II
seems that the contestants are rather
evenly divided between the fair and the
sterner sex. Many Of the women have
more time to devote to the contest than
the men. and in this way are making
more rapid progress. II has been pre-
dicted frequently that the contest would
be won By a woman because Of the fact
that women, as a rule, are far better
acquainted with literature than men
Whether this prediction will hold true
remains TO be seen, however.
The following are She prizes:
The first prize will be a 1900 building
lot IN that charming suburb across the
Anacostia River. Randle Highlands. 1t
Is a good investment value from any
point Of view. and will be eagerly sought
after by many hundreds IN the contest.

factured by the Gable Plano Company

Concerning the Touchbaek.
The advantage resulting from n

BY the changes made. the possible
