Article S of the constitution, which
waa hiiiidi to last for all time, states:
fThe object of the club is to promote
acquaintanceship among its members, to
facilitate their social Intercourse and
to provide a place of meeting which
rtiay secure for them the advantage of

further from the constitution, "mem

: Tentatively, the plana of tha new

It is proposed to open the season each
year by a large reception when tha men
of the congressional families will share
honors with tne club memDersnip.
In a general way the club will
a boon to overpressed women oi

days will be a feature or ciun life, and
in mis way purely omciai caning win
