COMLIE . ND GOSSIP AMONG THE. WOMEN. BY ONE OF THEM. Only a few seasons ago and the after— noon whist club was the favorite femin- ine divertisment. It was unusual to find a woman with any social preten- sions who didn’t belong to at least one club, and often two 01' three.' The whist club meet was the stellar event round which all lesser social functions of the week revolved. Unavoidable absence from one of the meetings was a dire calamity. Many a woman 'openly confessed she “ would rathe1 play whist than eat. ” But with- in the past year or so fashion has taken a trend in another direction. It is cor- iect to be interested in intellectual de- , velopment and posted on Iail'airs of the day. . The literary clubs and the classes of various kinds dealt the whist club, in many instances, a. staggering blow. Many of its former devotees look upon -' it now as a waste of time. fit only for an hour of recreation, when the mind is compelled to relax. To be sure, in the rush after intel- ' . lectuality, whiso has not been entirely ' ' 'killed. Whist parties still form charm- ing events’in the socialarena, but they are more casual than regular and they more often than no. have a definite" .1‘011 SALE—A house on Wilton ave- cxcusc 101' their being. To fill the need of the times, liti 1'11 y clubs, current event classes ', and the L I like sprung up allover the land, until the woman. who is not aclub woman- or who, is not studying something or ev- erything with a view --gto mental ad- vancement is so rare as to be conspicu- ous. Even a woman with all her capa- bilities is unable to keep up more than a reasonable number of interests at one time. It is much more lightly considered than in the days when its fascination absorbed the attention of its allies to such a degree, it technically ceased to become a game and was almost a busi- ness. Gharity whists are most popular money making schemes, and a mam- ity’s sake is never a failure. Which either proves that even the I most intellectual club' women has not entirely lost her fondness for the'game which has fur nished her so many hap— nature she will cheer fully sacrifice her own pleasure to aid some worthy cause or individual. The above is taken'from the Ansonia Sentinel Editorial and the only com- ment I have to make is that it is too palpably evident that the editor is not well acquainted with the society of our town or any town, in fact located in this section of the state, else he would never have made such a distressing mistake. Ansonia ladies may have thrown Over the delightfully alluring pastime 'but Norwalk and many other towns have not been sufficiently disenchanted as yet. We may be behind the times, but 'I think not, Ansonia is‘in all probabil- ity ahead of the times. The Whist clubs are flourishing and will continue to do so as long as there are prizes for the best players. g gray/fee (ll/[gum FEMININE CHAT. Have you written your letter to Santa Claus yet ‘9 A little masculine remorse goes a long way with most women. A man says that narrow narrow minds often go together. The little metal aigrettes that look like ribbon are very much worn by smart women in evening gowns. How rarely we find fault with the extravagance of others when it is man- ifested in their dealings wish us. A woman has only to appear ata fancy dress ball to deem herself at once a clever aspirant for stage honors. There is no use crying over spilled milk, but you can do some effective talking to the maid who has been guilty of such awkwardness. -When you make a! bid for compli- ments do not be surprised if they are not quite as choice as you would have had offered involuntarily. . And now the women with well-filled purses carry them in such carelessly at- tractive fashion that it is no wonder impecunious individuals lose sight of honesty and make a grab for them. A-‘ REGARDLESS OF AGE. The kidneys are responsible for more sickness, suffering, and deaths than any other organs of the body.
