Secret Covenants.

After the first magnificent gesture
in the eyes of all the world, the
American delegates to this Confer

that the Americans at Paris made.

with less excuse than II was &C
quiesced In At Paris. ThererAmeri-
ca was . guest and stood alone In
wishing open sessions. Here our
country was the host. It began by
unconveptionally and oourageously
discussing the big questions in the
open. And then It fell into the
diplomacy that aids duplicity. In
deed, the words Diplomacy and Du-
plicity have 90 long been inter

thing like that, and just that little
saying applies to the planned Tues
day evening meeting OF the Angus
ia Girls Community club executive
committee. The meeting was plan
ned in all good faith for Tuesday
evening, but the fact that the club
had been let to the internal revenue
folks had been overlooked and thus
the confiiction arose. This Wednes-
day evening at $50 o'clock the post
poned meeting of the executive COM
mittee will be held.
a lunch will be served the girls at
the beginning Of the meeting and
everyone is invited to come and have
a bit to eat in the cozy dining room.
The executive council meeting will be
held after the supper and everyone
is also invited to attend this meet
ing.
Much important business IS to be
discussed and it is hoped that a full
attendance of the executive commit
tee will be present and that as many
OF the club members. as can will also
attend the meeting.
