American Club women enjoyed their first real "get-together" since hostilities began when, yesterday afternoon, they met at their old quarters in Bubbling Well Road for tea, and a general meeting.
Mrs. J. Scott Emmens presided, and between thirty and forty members enjoyed the exchange of tales of experiences during temporary evacuation, and hearing something from the chairman of the day regarding future activities.
Mrs. Emmens announced that Miss Dita, Tenga was holding classes in dancing and physical culture at the club rooms, and sessions were Tuesdays and Fridays for adults. from 9.30 to 10.30 am., and on Mondays and Thursdays, from 2.30 to 3.30 pin, for children, For the benefit of the Cradle, which institution is tending refugee babies, a bridge and mahjongg party will be held at the Y.M.C.A, on December 6 at 3 pin. The charge for tables, including tea will be $6.
From the Joint Committee of Women's Organizations, Mrs. Emmens announced, came the suggestion that various groups of women in this city take study subjects bearing on phases of world stability, with the object of furthering the peace of nations. The Tiffin Club has decided to study and discuss the Nine Power Treaty, while it was suggested that the American Women's Club take the American Neutrality Act as subject.
Mrs. Emmens touched upon the finances of the Club, and expressed the hope that members would rally round so soon as numbers increased again through returning evacuees.
In the meantime the Bubbling Well Road rooms will remain open, and it is hoped that members will con-inno to use these, said.the speaker.
Owing to the absence of the club's president it will be necessary to appoint an acting president and it is expected that this will be done in the near future.
