entertainment to be given at the
Blue Triangle Clubhouse. goth and Il
streets northwest. on the evening of
Thursday, July 20. 1t is to be called
Main Street" but is not a dramatiza-
tion of Sinclair Lewis famous novel
1t is an idea that was first carried
out with great success by the Y. W.
c. A. in Indianapolis and has many
novelties TO offer in the way of en-
tertainment. The setting will be the
reproduction of typical main street
post office, general store. bakery, bar
Der shop and other landmarks IA
miliar to all of us. except perhaps
those of the. tenement district of
some or our large cities. There will
probably be few citizens of Washing
ton who visit this affair to whom the
sight will not bring some memories
OF similar setting. The general ma
ture of the entertainment during the
early part of the evening will be that
of a carnival.
The second half of the program will
be Vaudeville show of songs. clever
sketches and dancing given in the
town "op'ry house" These special
ties will be put on by members Of the
different business girls clubs, which.
combined as the business department
otHthe association, are responsible for
the entire entertainment. The Wash

play during the evening. and at the
Will be dancing on the terrace. The
object of the program is to raise
money for the renting or possibly
purchasing of clubhouse for the
clubs next summer. The two circuses
given so successfully last year pro-
vtded the funds which are paying for
the rented clubhouse at Cabin John
this year.

with the Y. w. c. A. is certainly
serving Its purpose as a recreation
spot for the members Of the clubs
and their friends. A week ago Fri

bers, and there has been a steady
procession of special little club par
ties and suppers held there within
the last few weeks. One of the most
important affairs was a tea arranged
for the members of the board division
Of the Y. w. C. A. and the secretarial
staff. Every Tuesday and Thursday
nights are big nights. when large
groups of about fifty members each
time swarm about the cheerful little
cabin to go for a swim in their own
little swimming hole, have supper
and a jolly long evening till they
take their special street car back into
town. 1t is necessary to make reser-
