. for Mrs. d. r Murchison, jr., O
. at the Country club q
from the Latin American people in
Mexico Peru and other Latin Amerl-
can countries. They are vigorous and
energetic and the women are more
independent and take a more prOmi-
nent place and interest in everything
world outside Of America. Yet for all
Of their American ways, and appear
ance, they have perhaps less contact
with America than any other of the
South American countries. Buenos
Aires has a geological garden the equal
of any in the United States. With the
exception of the capitol at Washing
ton. u. c. it has buildings that sur
pass any of ours.
THE shops all employ bands to give
concerts in the stores, and for big Oc-
easions like the spring and fail open
ings they import OperaIIc stars from
Europe to sing
There is a great deal Of wealth in
BuenOs Aires, the principal source of
the fortunes of the people coming from
the productive farms and the stock
raising industry Of this country. The
rich are more eXtravagant than any
7 people I have ever known. Their din
ner services are Of gold and cut glass.
and their women dress IN the very
finest of fabrics. In every way in the
civic life of the city the women are
verv prominently to the fore, the most
beautiful drive in the city is the re-
suit of the work Of the women, and
because of this part OF saturday
and Sunday of each week is set aside
for the women to drive the autos and
carriages
''There is a very wonderful news
paper in BUenos Aires, that IS superior
to any paper published in New York
-,
an entire block. and is beautiful
work of art. Its machinery is all
American made, but it has more than
any newspaper in our country. From
the profits of this paper, the pro-
prietors conduct free medical clinic
for the poor of the city, and also
free law clinic, where a poor man
can obtain without fee capable law
yer to defend his case
Il urge the Woman's club OF Ell

the need Of a better understanding OF
the different STYLES and periods of ar
chiJecture. She spoke particularly Of
reinforced concrete work of the early
Romans that is coming back into pop
ular use more and more in this eoun-
try.
Mrs A p. Averi1, the president Of
the club, suggested that as the club
is planning to build a club house IN
the near future, the study Of the diff
ferent styles and periods of architec-
tut should be taken up by the club
next year so that in the club house no
inharmOnious or homogeneous styles
should occur. Mrs. W. R. Brown also
spoke on this subject saying that if
the women were all better informed
upon architectural styles these inhar-
monious miXings could be prevented
Every building could as easily be made
beautiful and true to its style as other
wise, with the proper knowledge.
