matters of serious purposes have
become noted for broad achieve
ment, and in a recent statistical report
given out by prominent Eastern
newspaper, the results of the work of
these club women were enumerated in
most prominent fashion. But Atlanta
has other clubs, beside the serious
tor in the lives of their members These
are the social clubs which have proved
themselves worthy Of existence in the
endless pleasures they give their mem
bers. One of the social clubs of At
lanta which has gained fame among
strangers and friends by reason of the
beautiful name which was happily be-
slowed upon the organization is The
order of ld-Fashioned Women" The
fragrance Of all the graces fingers
around the name and the fact that
the club Is composed of some of the
most up to date and modern young
matrons of the city adds piquancy to
It, Their meetings, announced with
unpretentious manner, are known to
be characterized by elegance in ap-
pointment and detail. 1.-THE Order of
Old Fashioned Women" has been In
existence for ten years or So and they
have several notable achievements for
charity to their credit, as well as many
brilliant and delightful social events
or meetings" as they prefer to have
these referred to. 'ff they must be re-
ferred to at ALL"
Another social club. in Atlanta is
really and truly "old- fashioned" in that
it has adhered to the old time -four

through the stress and storm of bridge,
auction and various other games which
have come and in some instances, have
gone out of popular favor. This club
called the Tuesday Afternoon Euchre
club" has met regularly on Tuesday
afternoons for 81 years. The club now
numbers some of the best bridge play
ers in the city, but they still devote
their meeting to ''four-hand euchre"
