Already the club has raised and distributed £BOOO to building societies in Eondon slums, and many news flats have been named after the club.

The members of this club must be under forty; but people over forty can join as associate members. Though, as a penalty for their vast ago, they are required to pay a higher membership subscription. Many very well-known young people are cnroiled in this very enterprising club; the Earl of Faversham, Lady Joan Vi I - 1 ipi's.
