Society Girls go Domestic
Monkey Club Flourishes j (CORONATION debutantes will enjoy the gayest season held for years. At the same time, however, they will not lose sight of more serious interests, says a London correspondent.. Many young girls who are to be presented at Court are at present taking special courses at the Monkey Club, which is nowadays a most flourishing concern. It was started some years ago, and many well-known young society girls take advantage of its wide and varied programme of work. Recently the club opened a studio, where Mr. Augustine Booth, a lecturer to the Wallace Collection, gives lessons in drawing and painting and sculpture. Lauguages, literature, history, politics, and civics are all taught, and one of the most popular of all is the domestic science course, which is taken not only by debutantes, but by their younger sisters as well. Mothers, too, are becoming interested in cookery, and have asked that a special course for them should be included in the spring programme of the club. Examinations are held, and some of the students have done so well lately that now a French chef is being brought over to England 1 to hold advanced classes.
