WashinEton Women Plan
to Esta blish City Club,

The movement to establish a wo-
mems City Club in Washington is
assuming important proportions and
received a considerable impetus at
the last meeting held on Wednesday
at 1710 / street. Undoubtedly the
women of Washington need some
sort of an organization to bring
them closer together, some place
where they can meet to exchange
ideas and discuss mutual interests
and this is what the proposed club
will give them.
Chicago has its "women's Club"
tremendously vital organization.
which, by the way, has a perfectly
corking swimming pool, Turkish
baths and all sorts of similar lux
, uries; Toledo has a "Women's Club"
which plays an important part in the
life OF the city. And why not Wash
ington? Certainly such an organiza-
tion should be tremendously valuable
in city with such a large floating
population and its establishment on
| a hrm foundation should go far to-
| ward dissipating the idea entertain
ed by so many that Washington is
unsociable and that it is hard to be-
come acquainted or to make new
| friends here.
1t is hoped that through the pro-
posed club Washington women may
be made to realize the desirability Of
having the new women coming into
town remain as permanent residents
and that the newcomers may find the
Capital a more desirable place in
which to live. Another object of the
club Is to provide a suitable place in
which to entertain not only the
prominent woman from all over this
| country who drift into town from
time to time, buts those from other
countries who will be here on var
ious missions during the next flew
years.
Plans for the organiza ion of the
club are still in an embryo stage
but, although the drive for members
has scarcely begun, $50 women have
already enrolled. The idea is to Sc.
cure 1000 members by November Il
and then to launch the all-importani
project OF securing a club house. II
has been decided to buy. as renting Is
considered Impractical IL not impos
sible at this time.
The club will be incorporated un.
der the name of the Women's City
Club and a committee of lawyers
headed by Miss Ida NJ. Meyers. has
| been named to draw up the articles
also selected as chairman of the by.
| laws committee.
In Toledo many OF the already ex.
isting women's organizations have be
come affiliated with the newer
"Women's Club" and have thus ac.
quired the privilege of using the
handsome club building for their owr
meetings. And the suggestion ha:
been made that some such scheme
could be worked out in Washington

had driven in for the occasion. Mrs
Vanderbilt and her daughter were in
street dress. but in spite of this they
became enthused at the exploits of the
tractors. and drove them for some

IL has been a long time since
washington has welcomed a more in
teresting person than A. Quistouard
the Danish artist. who is to spend the
winter here. Not only is he a man>of
unusual attachments and Charming
personality and an artist of interna
tional reputation. but he is launching
something quite new in the artistic
world.
He represents little association Of
artists formed for the express pur-
pose of painting portraits in dupr-
cate OF American statesmen and mill
tary heroes OF the great war. one of
which rs to be hung in the Corcoran
Art Gallery and the other sent to one
OF the famous galleries in Paris. The
scheme, which has the approval of
President Wilson and others in au-
thority was evolved and is backed by
Dane who has made a large for
tune in this country and who is TAX
ing this method OF furtherins Ameri-
can art and familiarizing Europeans
with our leaders and with the history
and achievements OF this country.
The artists connected with the as

Danish or American. and all are men
