me, cost even with her extras under 50 a

THE Art Alliance has considerably smaller
i dues than the Acorn, but even these are
more this year than last and are. I sunnose
going up. Men as we'll as women can he
members-or' perhaps I should nut IL tbe
other way--which makes the evening enters
tanning pieasanter. Members can rent studios
in the building. but there Ia mo nrov;sion To-
members stopping overnight as transients'
and the rest rooms and dressing rooms n rs
not an important feature as at the Acorn
In short, the club is a more social place and
a less convenient place
