Club meets JULY 12.

Papers must be in by

June 28. TOPJC. — A Travellers' Meeting. —

Emmeline desires to make up parties to

travel in Tibet and in India,

Though Tibet

.has been much written about since the British -Escpedition to Lhassa, last veaT, travelling there is rough and difficult (i.e., there may bs many members who are out of the track of new books and magazines). India, on the other hanH, is so vast an empire, and in many parts so familiar in its historical associations and geographical interests, that members who find themselves unable to travel in Tibet will, . it is hoped, form a pleasant party for Indian travel. With the hearty co-operation of the club, Emmeline thinks this should be one of the most successful meetings of the session.

Other Topics during the Session will be: — — Suggestions Towards Greater Simplicity of Living. —

At this meeting members are invited to consider either in a really practical or an entirely flumorous manner the possibility of simplifying our plan of daily life, so that the difficulty of procuring domestic servants may cease to affright us; and the demands of society, the care of our furniture, and preparation of our food cease to occupy so large a proportion of our short lives. — A Millionaires' Meeting. —

For this special occasion members will please realise that Emmeline has given to each of them' a million of money! • The only repayment she desires is a true and candid account of "what they will do with it." For once -we may all imagine ourselves able to solve -what appears very often to be more difficult than poverty — namely, Ho\? to be happy, though rich.? —Why is Marriage in the Twentieth Century Considered a Failure? —

"What alterations in our mode of life can we snake to render marriage and home more popular and attractive to both men and -women? — A Special Request Meeting. —

Of this, particulars will be given later on. At present Emmeline only desires to say that <• it will be quite unique, and from its novelty and interest form one of the most attractive meetings ever held by the famous C.C.C.

Members will find it an excellent plan to cut out this indication of the club's topics for this session, though it is possible tnat gome alteration may be made in those subjects Those date is- not yet fixed.
