INFORMAL TEAS AT
LANSDOWNE CLUB
Youngsters Working for the Red
Cross and Belgian
Relief

The Country Club at Iansdownc has been
having pleasant informal teas every Satur-
day afternoon. SO far the weather has been
warm and sunshiny enough TO serve tea
on the lawn, and Of course 1t is ever so much
more fun out doors. The women sit about
with their knitting and, incidentally, do
good deal Of chatting, though some play
bridge. Then tea is served and occasionally
several men who have been playing golf
(and golf does make you fearfully hungry
stop and have n cup. Last Saturday Mrs
Harry Henry and Miss Louise Nanzandt
We're hostesses at the tea, and there were
