There is another thing, too, about
| the particular Woman's club team
which is now in the public eye on ac-
| count of the dance they are to give
December 3. They have discovered
! delightfully."- effective way of getting
their members together regularly for
! the necessary planning and work. The
/ secret is a little luncheon every other
J Wednesday, at the home of the hostess
I for the day. That brings 'em, rain or
shine. and over the luncheon plates
they concoct their schemes ter advanc-
| ing the club house funu. And they
| do say it is surprising what good times
! they are having, and how enthusia site
the sixteen members are in their team
\ work
Mrs. w. E. Mcvey, the team cap
! tain, DR.. Elvenor Ernest. Mrs. Thomas
j. Myers and Mrs. w. z. Thrapp have
| been the hostesses to date, and the
| next meeting is to be with Mrs
Georgia Ober. when the very last de-
| tails of the dance and card party will
be arranged. The tickets for this have
! already been mostly placed, and it will
| assuredly be one of the most enjoyable
of the informal social affairs of the
early winter.
| Dere Mabel:
You know Mabel this is sposed to
| be an age of specialization but it isn't
| always. There is a fraternity here,
you know one of those lodges 1 was
| telling you about, that hires a cook
and boy to tend the furnace and wait
! on the table and all those things. And
they won't hire them unless they can
| play the piano and some other in
strument, too, so that after theys have
| cooked and washed the dishes and
waited on the table and fixed the fur
mace, they can come in and be an
orchestra Orthestra at night-cook
and furnace man in the daytime
that's them all over.
| There are some folks in this town
that do lots of swell things like me
and you don't even know how to do,
Mabel, and they go some place all the
| time and drive an automobile that
look at it. But people always wonder
how they pay their bills, Mabel. Peo-
pie are so curious you know which is
not admirable. Well one day they
went to a city, Mabel I won't tell
you where; it would make it too defi-
mite, and they invited some other
folks to eat dinner with them at a
swell hotel And the other folks
hated to because they were like the
ant and were saving for a rainy day
and for a house to keep it out. But
they insisted. So they went and when
the dinner was over these people
pushed the bill over to the saving
folks and it was very large, because
they had not ordered with care. One
should always order with care and one
should be careful of their associates,
is a lesson to CLEAN from this, Mabel.
And then there is the story about this
swell lady's hat. But as Mr.. Kipling
Intelligent folks always bring him
in this way, you might try it-as Mr..
Kipling says that is a different story.
There was a big wedding here this
fall-big like weddings ought to be
If some one has some money. And
every one made an awful fuss over the
bridegroom and didn't pay SO much
attention to the bride, who is prettier
than you are. Mabel. But she was
taking it awful calm. They say she
was down town two hours before the
wedding talking when most folks
would have been having a massage to
make them pretty and cleaning their
finger nails and all that. One wants
to be neat when they are married. 1t
is like being inspected by, the general
Well anyhow, every one looked at the
groom-not the kind that takes care
of horses-the bridegroom 1 mean,
and talked to him and all that. And
the bride just sat and her folks sat
too. And some one saw her father and
they said, Who is that man, that
funny man, 1 think II was or some
thing not very respectful. And it was
the brides father. Which was an
awful fow paw because some one
heard.
And there was another wedding and
some girls who weren't invited to the
wedding and were in awful old clothes
with their hair not combed and all
