AT that first meeting called by Marie
Jenuey Howe, wife Of Frederic G.
Howe, there were seventeen women.
1t was Mrs. HoWe's idea that, despite
all the organizations of women in the
city, there WAS a need for one differ
ent from all the rest. When She
had told her guests OF her hopes for
the new club they agreed with her.
There i1 nothing strange about that,
for Mrs Howe has a power of per
ssasion which is proverbfai among
her acquaintance. 1t was decided

As the first there were no rules
~ to membership. and even now
there are no hard and fast rules
Indeed Que the most unusual
things about this NOS: unusual club
is the fact that it may be said To
have no bylaws.
From the first il was the desire Of
the women to dispense as far as pos
sible with red tape, 10 such an ex-
tent have they succeeded in this Iau-
dable endeavor that the Heterodoxy,
speaking strictly. can scarcely be
called an organization Only two
rules have been laid down as TO mem
bership. The first is that only Wo-
men who are what is loosely termed
as advanced" shall become members
1T is hard to tell Just what We
| mean by that term, even" said one
OF the members. certainly we do
not mean that all of the women shall
have the sd me viewpoint. II So
what would become OF our discus
sions which sometimes last until din
ner time? But we do mean that the
! members shall be Interested in the
! questions OF the day-Shall have
| something to contribute to thought.
sometimes we accuse each other

| won't call any names-are that.
But in justice to the HeterodoXy |
must say that none of US are such
fanatics that we're not Interested in
