The Girls and Woman's Day at
the local Y. M. C. A. Wednesday of
every week with its interesting
gymnasium and swimming classes
has proved a splendid thing for the
women and girls of this city from
both the physical and moral stand
point. Since the opening day for
women some time last October. the
membership has increased weekly
until 1t has nearly reached the 500
mark, and many new members
are appearing at the "Y" each
week. :
The morning classes for the wo-
men have proved especially inter-
esting under the direction of Miss
Helen Robertson. the physical d.
rector. and while at first these
were most amusing. the twenty
eight women who have comprised
the class have been most faithful
in attendance.
They have managed the first diff
culties of the gymnasium IN tne
games OF "Jinks'' and "Volley. Bar
and that all important art especially
effective as a reducer. the art OIL
rolling with ease in several success
sive turns over the mats placed on
the floor.
In fact the morning class have
made such rapid Improvement IN
agility that a splendid volley ball
team has been formed from the
women of the class. 1t includes
Mrs. Schuyler Pew. Mrs. Francis
Seaman, Mrs. Jesse Seaman. Mrs. u.
s. Thompson. Mrs. Robert McNitt
and Mrs. G. W. Fithian as the team
picked from the large squad of vol
ley ball enthusiasts. Next Tuesday
this squad will journey to Rahway
in automobiles and play the wo-
mems volley ball team of the Ran

formed some time ago, and highly
recommended. The Amboy team
will no doubt bring home the ba-
con-" but il not successful another
opportunity will De given them IN
a short time in a return game on
the local court. The local team Will
be the guests of the Railway PLAYERS
at a luncheon after the game. This
team has created no little interest
among the sporting fans OF the city
and their appearance on the local
v. M. C. A. is much looked forward
TO. Perhaps the women will put 1t
all over the men, even at their own
game. Come on, yolley ball entnu-

Like ali true artists, Carlyle goes
to nature for suggestions and what
he finds there he conventionalizes TO
his Taste. A flower. a heron's wing,
a little green frog, a scarlet lizard,

these things he sets thin, pacing

times walks a lean dog.
