Summer Club Circles

The club spirit with the various
benefits and pleasures to be derived
therefrom, has taken a firm hold upon
the women Of Bryan and given TO
them a new vision Of the opportunities
for culture and literary advancement
to be found in clubdom
In view of the fact that the long
summer months will hold little OF
social pleasure and less Of literary
pursuit, the Bryan club women arc
forming little circles and groups to
meet once a week during the vaca-
ton days. Several such summer
clubs are being discussed and will be
duly organized soon
The first of these has taken the
name AS You Like It, and will be
just what the name implies. The
hostess with whom the club meets
will be the president for that occa-
sion, will arrange her own program,
and will preside during that after
noon. There will be no other officers,
no dues, no fines. II is to be a social
club with literary feature as a
program. The membership of the
"As You Like It Club is completed.

WITH Mrs. p. S. Park

A food OF spring sunshine made
Tuesday afternoon delightful, and as
Mrs. P. S. Park was the weekly
hostess for the Embroidery Club, her
party day was the winner OF this
spring courtesy from the weather
man. At p. m. the guests assem-
bled in the bright, beautiful library
Of this hospitable home, where, amid
roses and violets, ferns and palms
arranged artistically, the Joyous two
hours allotted by these busy women
to dainty needlework was spent most
delightfully."-. While, as has been
stated, this club IS really energetic in
sewing, we do not wish to leave the
impression that they are so absorbed
In work that they neglect the social
feature Of the club-a charming little
touch Of conversation accompanies
the entire club meeting time. At the
earnest request Of the ladies', the ac.
complished daughter OF the home,
Miss Anita Park, gave several piano
logues, which we're much enjoyed.
The delicious refreshment course
included chicken salad en- mayonaise
served on lettuce, cheese sticks,
waters, ice tea and an individual pie
piled high with whipped cream and
garnished with cherries. Mrs. Parks
