The Mems League Of Olf9et Con gregatdona1 church has been in ex- istence about a year. During that time the league has demonstrated that church organization may take as much interest in public affairs and exert as much influence as a civic or ganizat5on. -

It has two basketball teams and a bowling club with a waiting list of thirty. It has adopted an innovation in lectures by providing the audience with a. substantial dinner and giving & literary and musical feast at the conclusion.
 Among those who have talked be- fore the club during the last year are Judge Carey of New Jersey; Fred Smith, international secretary of the Young Mems Christian association; !; Charles Reynolds Brown. Dean of Yale; Messrs. Ford and RastalI, of the City Planning Commission of New York and Massachusetts, and the heads of important city departments. Debates on commission form of government, city planning, good hous- ing, and other live topics of the day have been held.

 Once in awhile you run into an ole2 fashioned man whose wife and whose affinity are the same woman.
 A man never hoIlers for the benehG of the doubt until he knows that therel is no doubt as to his guilt.
 We all devote too much time to what isn't and too little time to what is.
 Being polite means to stand and lis- ten to mutt for a half hour and pre- tend that you are laughing at his jokes. when you are really in pain and would like to tell the mutt so.
 We spend one-half of our lives try ing to catch up with tomorrow and the other half wishing we could edge back to yesterday.
 Some men are such poor guesserG that they should be employed as uEEhs p1res in summer and as weather fore casters in winter.
 There are all sorts of liars in the world, including the man who drinks with you and then announces that he would retaliate only he left his money at home in his other clothes. Give a woman a chance to get a dia- mond tiara in this world, and she'll take a chance on getting that halo 1us the next world.
 When a girl paints blush on her cheeks she is advertising the fact that she has forgotten how to blush.
 There are. women and women. One kind can make the worry and work of making both ends meet seem pleas ure And the other kind can make ale mony seem a good investment. 1 Somehow or other a homely girl does not look so homely to you after you get l tO know her real we'll
