British WOmen's Clubs
 Prove to Be Failures

London, March 20.-Cluhs for women are not a success in London, at least those merely for social in tercourse, and several have gone in- to bankruptcy while others saved themselves by the process of amal- gamation.
 Something more than social amenities are required to keep a club together. and this Is exempIi- fled by the flourishng condition of the Ladies' Carlton Club, which has an important political atmosphere and is in close touch with the Union- fat central office. Another, the Gar dens Club, is thriving because of its specially interesting lectures by prominent people in the gardening world, its regular garden dinners and well equipped garden library.

OLD GERMAN KITCHENS

Cooking Equipment of 1895 Feature Which Attracted Attention in
 Recent Berlin Show.

Berlin, March 20,-Kitchens of 1895 were a feature which attracted much attention in Berlin's recent show window competition. designed to show the progress which the last 100 years have brought in house furnishings.
 Inconvcnient and back breaking as the cooking equipment of 100 years ago must have been. there was a beauty about the ancient kitchens which provoked much comment from women who know only the electrically equipped kitchen with all its modern equipment,
 Many Of the old kitchens repro duccd in Bcrlins show windows con taned displays of antique pewter and brass, old tiles and porcelain which today would find a place in the drawing room.
