where maids, wives and widows meet to
discuss the fall of Rome and the rise in

dues and lear up against an occasional
oyster patty.

for a long time, while others prefer to
recite the history Of people, with whom
they are not on speaking terms. Every
once in a while a club viii give a dinner
which is paid for by Respondent. husbands
in full dress suits but as a rule club
meetings are secret affairs, from which
nothing leaks out except a few casual
remarks relative to the sordid nature of
the refreshments.
