Women
Scheme Invasion?
The Grapevine
By JESS SCOTT
"OUR
NEXT MEETING," said chairman blandly, glancing about at her committee
of men and women at University Club luncheon table, "will be at
the Arlington Club."
She
got her laughs. As everybody knows, the Arlington Club is strictly
men only. Dunno why wives haven't picketed them long ago; some
wives are unreliably reported to be plotting this.
Not,
however, the women on this committee of YWCA, a UGN agency, headed
by Lorene (Mrs. John C.) Higgins. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins were giving
luncheon for YW amortization committee. You know--means fixing
to burn the mortgage.
Mrs.
H., when she undertook big three-year job now in last phase, has
10 men, 10 women on committee, including her husband and some
of his Arlington Club friends. Latter group gets kidded, but takes
this amiably.
Sheer
coincidence, he says, prompted Walter J. Cosgrave, writing skit
for recent State Bar Ass'n convention, to say merger was in offing
for Arlington Club and YWCA. And did he get his laughs? He did.
