A Sports Club for Women

To the Editor of the "Nonru-Emma Datty News."

Sim—It seems to me that present time, when so much thought is being given to the comfort and care of young men in the East, would be a good opportunity for some influential woman to take up the cause of the lone girl (who can bbe so much more lonely than the young man!). A large number of iris here have neither father, brother nor brother-in-law, there: fore are not eligible to join the French Club. The B.W.A., although Jdoubtless admirable, provides no fon-the-premises facilities for gymim tennis, or swimming, and jonly very limited facility' fo Badminton. Men already have the French Club, Cricket Club, Rowing Club and will shortly have the Y.M.C.A., whereas girls have—nothing! Certainly the Columbii Country Club docs admit girl mem bers, but it is so far out that, transit fees, when added to th club fees, render it quite out of the reach of most business girls, 1 think the majority of girls do not wish for a hostel for resident purposes, but some sports club badly needed. Surely it should be Possille for land in a convenient place to be purchased (as has been for is to be done for the Y.M.C.A.)

provide these girls with some facilities for sport." This is merely Jo suggestion, which I hope somebody will be' able to develop.
