Louis. This information is that Charley
Wall will continue the direction and
management of the Lennox Club the
next social season.
This. however. is not the most start
ling news now disclosed. The real
news is that the chaperons of this club
and other society women are putting
their heads together to hit upon some
plan by which those members who are
always in debt to the club and who
persistently refuse to pay may be
properly punished and put to shame
for their gross shortcoming.
More rules will be drawn up, the en-

The women are determined to take a

is welcome to those members who have
been obliged to carry the financial bur-
den while the delinquents enjoyed all
the pleasures and shared not in the

That this state of affairs exists in an

birth and careful rearing seems almost

The chaperons are among the society
matrons who are indignant at the i'm
