Somelliing quite now in the way ol women’s clubs lias struck Newcastle, England. It is called the “Crnus Club,” ’and is an attempt to achieve c(-onomy -without sacrificing social standards (Avrites a Londoner). Jhe idea is that women acting in concert can effect’economies in ways which would be .individoiis to them individually. For example, tho wives ot professional and ■ business men,- .Avho form the bulk of the membership, might hot in 'the ordinary Avay care to occupy any but the best seats in the theatre, but it is suggested that attending as an .organised' body they would-• not be-averse to occupying cheaper seats. Similarly, in restaurants they could sit down to more modest meals than they - would ’otherwise feel it incumbent upon them to order. Tlie movement, however, has met with some aclA'erse criticism. . “I think it is the height cf snobbishness,'” said a young business woman, when asked for her opinion. Theatre and restaurant managers in the city are interested rather thaip alarmed hv the moA r ement. ' They sav they have the feeling that they will benefit' . railier. thqn suffer .by organised entertaining; eating. ■

The world's most beautiful Olympic ' Gaines athlete is a married woman, Airs. James AleLareu, wife of a Toronto, Canada, bank employee, (states the “San Francisco Chronicle”). As Aliss Ethel Catherwood, Saskatoon school girl, she set a world’s record for the Irgh jump at the last Olympic Games in 1928, and to top that off she was selected as (lie . most beautiful girl entrant. While ‘Aliss Catlicrwc od’ is in San Francisco training for the 1932 Olympiad a* Lbs Angeles, the news that she is actually Mrs. AlcLaren leaked out in Toronto. Her tiuhand could nob keep the secret any longer. He said that the marriage took place in November, J 929, and told the world that bis wife, who can jump higher Ilian anv ether girl, woman, matron, debutante, or dowager in the world, is in San Francisco, training -for the 1932 Games. “Which, of course, she will win—l mean the high jump” MeLuren said. BY THE’ WAYSIDE. (Alary Ramsay Ellen Blair.) Where scorching sun beat down upon the Hot foot-way; And winds from west blew hot air on the street, She tramped along with hands so full and weighted; Heart not too light; and aching, tired feet. Street after street where summer sums were burning, No trees across foqt-wav to give uut cooling shade, But. still, sometimes a .buyer; a kindly greeting; A proffered cup; a rest; —sometimes she stayed. When sea winds blew, the days were all one long delight; But when the fierce sun gave out Hlistoring and scorch, And hot winds made a wild and stubborn light, Sho reached a winding road that curved behind the hill Where homes had rose-pink iramblera on trellis, porch and sill.

But where the bank was sloping, sho sat upon tho grass; She cared not who might clianec to glance her way; And cared for nought who pass; The huge old gum gave out its friendly shade; The outlook broad and still.; below, the town of red and white. Behind—the burnt grass on a sloping hill.

But buyers had come, e’en in depression’s lime; And empty purses were owned b.v hearts with love— And she thought many things AVllile song-birds in the branches sang abovo. Tt always could ho worse—could not be walking; A. sneer or jeer might take the place of smilo, So go my friend and do your plan-ned-out journey, And greet the day, and forget each dreary mile. GIRL’S HEAD AS TEE. NURSES CAI/M AS GOLF BALL IS DRIVEN OFF. A girl’s forehead provided tlie too in a freak golf challenge match at the Thames Ditton and Esher Club, Surrey, bet)ween Mr. ‘G'corge Ashdown, a young professional, and. Air. 0. Alansell. One of tlie conditions avus that AD’ Ashdown should tee up at every l)°lo on a girl’s forehead, and so Aliss Ena ShaAV, a young North London nurse, agreed to be used as a “teeing ground.” At every hole Aliss Shaw, Avho had a tee-peg fastened to her I‘oreliead by an clastic band, reclined on the S round and did not appear to be in ie least nervous when Mr. Ashdown. played the stroke. The professional, who' conceded one stroke at each hole to Mr. fj an sell, hit some splendid, shots ■ front his- unusual tee and Avon .the mutch in'comfortable stylo by. seven up and five to play. . • V 1 ’
