WHY CLUB No. 1 SUCCEEDS so
 WELL

Dear Readers of the Corner Page: 1
 was asked by q reader of The Bulletin why We caller ourselves Social Corner
 members, what was the c \ ' of cur ga
 therings, and how we eoUl4 conduct them without any officers. 1 will try and an
 swer her through the Corner page which was started on March 9th, 1910, by our deceased editor for the exchange Of any good ideas among the readers. He also gave it it's name, and to the time of his , passing away took great interest in the contributions, adding many an interest ing, instructive and humorous letters him self under different pen names, and many an argument We felt sure was started by him to get different opinions
 on the subject. Yet he was eveg watch
 ful that nothing entered the page that
 been revised where with keen fore thought he found something (written un- consciously no doubt) that might cause hard feelings, and to him belongs the
 credit of how We San conduct our meet ings without any official head. After Club
 Ne l had ontgrown the home accommo- dations (which were started Oct. 12, 1912, by Married and Happy inviting a small circle of writers to her home on 1 the Camp Ground) they hired a hall for the constantly increasing numbers. Al | thought We should have a president and lother officers but again he gave us good iadviee. He said we were the only or lganization he knew of who had no off icers, and of which he was very proud
 that the gatherings were for sociability
 alone, and there could be no hard feel
 inss if all were on an equal footing
 For long time we would count noses and charge just enough to meet expense: .7 would be five cents, sometimes eight al our food is always contributed. From
 the first 1t has been understood that eact
 member must do their share of the work
 so we have had little trouble in fndint
 8 different hostess for each gathering
 and she chooses her helpers, and plan.
 for the hot dishes and entertainnaent
 We have always kept close to the edi tors advice, and our gatherings have al ways been conducted with harmony anC Igood fellowship. Our quarters now art more expensive, . we have ten cents fo
 the dinner and if there is a little surplus , lit is held for a flower fund, so, as ou sister members of Club No. l leave u for brighter circle, we can remembe
 them with flowers. The amount take! , In, and on hand Is announced SO eacl may know what we have. We have neve ? had enough to do much for charity, ex
 cept our contribution to the Near Eas
 fund, and our yearly donation day fo , the welfare bureau which was started b, Tidy Addley. We always welcome ou sisters from other clubs and the gla. l hand Is always given to strangers wit i an urgent invitation to join us. Man of our most interesting writers were visi . tors before they became members. Ina ! Is the way to get them interested, g f let's ask our friends to meet with U and perhaps in time we will not onl : crowd out the advs. but another pag will be needed to hold the contribution. = Our former and present editor feel sur would say there is room for all in tn Corner. More members mean more le
 ters if all would remember that their ol <, legations did not end by sending in a ie e ter for admIttsacs to the Corne- ci-cl r PRACTICAL POLLY.
