WoMAN'S CLUB OF
cLlFFsIDE PARK.

A very unique and enjoyable affair
was the travelling luncheon" of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park last
Thursday.
The affair was given by and for the
home economies department of the
club for recreation, but at the close it
effectually proved that the housekeep-
err of today can give luncheon and in
the same hour attend luncheon at
another woman's house; also that,
even in these days of the III. G. of L.,
five course, dainty and satisfying
luncheon can be given for so cents or
bit less per person served.
The chairman of the department,
Mrs. j. Scott, arranged for a special
bus to call for the members and take
them to the first house and first course
oyster cocktailS-at the home of
Mrs. Robert Burns in Hudson Heights.
The committee in charge here was
Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Bohm, Mrs. Vos-
burgh and Mrs. Donaldson. From
the daintily set table and dainty oys-
tiers the guests We're taken in the bus
to the home of Mrs. Benda, on Clark
Terrace, Cliffside, where the commit
tee Mrs. Benda, Mrs. Miller, Mrs.
Sammis, Miss Winterburn and Miss
Foringer, had prepared delicious soup,
with homemade rolls and bread sticks.
This was served in buffet style, and
near the close papers with humorous
sayings We're read aloud by each per-
son and created much merriment.
From there the jolly party drove to
the home of Mrs. Vaughn, in the west
ern section of Grantwood, where again
in buffet style the committee of Mrs.
Vaughn, Mrs. w. w. Clark, Mrs. Mile
hame, Mrs Ansell, Mrs Macdonald
and Mrs. Hearn served before the open
fire delicious chicken patties and
creamed potatoes and rolls.
From there the well fed party pro-
the home of Mrs. c. Haage, on La
fayette avenue, the northern section,
where dainty fruit salad with crack
ers was set before the ladies by the
committee of Mrs. Haage, Mrs. Sears,
Mrs. Thayer, Mrs. Boas and Mrs. Ev-
erett.
AS fine and fitting finish, coffee
and cakes were served at the same
place by Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Stein and
Mrs. LeClerq
The luncheon was pronounced most
delicious, and every hostess enjoyed
it as well as the others. After the
luncheon the business took place, fees
were collected and receipts given in
most businesslike style, and then the
chairman announced that even with
the cards sent out as notices every
thing was paid for, and with the bus
special fare it all amounted to much
less than dollar apiece.
A vote of thanks was given the eff
cient chairman and committees, and
the bus, with it's accommodating driv-
er, Mr.. William Wood, took the more
distant members to the doors of their
homes.
Once before, some years ago, such
luncheon took place, but this one
showed the progress of the club and
of the borough, for no members of the
club were then in the Hudson Heights
section, so the function was limited to
GrantwOod and Edgewater Heights
and no buses could have been obtain
ed, so the weather prevented such an
affair from being held at any time eX-
cept in mild weather and when it
would be likely to be favorable. Ger
tainly the new bus company has al
ready proved itself valuable asset in
the social and working life of the COM
munity, having been thus put to use
many times already in this it's first
season.
