Gabby wishes she could believe the lady was swooning at this offense to Btiquette, but the title "Sorry you Can’t Go," a false commisera tion from her luckier companion gowned In a smattly hooped trotteur, tells us It Is more a swoon of chagrin than of propriety.

Richest Woman’s Club in the World ■ ' — 1 ■ ■' " • » Started ^as a Reading Circle at Miami. Florida-Re cently Sold Property for $.300,000. The rich* ft < luh In the world Is the Miami Woman'* club, according to Mr*. H. J. Halley, who returned Inst week after spending the winter In Florida. The following facts are Mrs. Bailey’s story of their origin and accomplishments: The club's library of more tbsn If), 1)00 volumes, the only library In the city, had a humble beginning. During the summer of 1600 a few friends started meeting together to «ew and read. Later they organised the "Ladles’ Afternoon club." Book* were bought by the members, read and ex changed until, finding themselves with a goodly number, the Idea of starting a library occurred. The re sult was a supply of books and no place to keep them. An appeal was made to Henry K. Flagler, builder and owner of the Florida Fast Coast railroad, In 1609 Mr. Flagler gave them the northwest corner of his Hoyal Palm park. A building coating $12,000 was erected to house the library and the club. Both were soon Inadequate. The property, however, had become very valuable, ltestrlctlons In the deed pre vented the club from selling, renting or mortgaging, nnd since making the gift, Henry Flagler bad passed out of this life.
