JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Forty-three Clubs Represented at Meeting of Ar.t
Alliance various happenings Are Dis
cussed by Nancy Wynne
TT WAS quite somo little meeting nt
1 the Art Alliance headquarters yeser
. y wncn representatives of nt lert'sl
forty-three clubs met to discuss plans for
the erection of nn Art Alliance building
In the city. And many nnd wonderful
were the Ideas submitted, let mo tell you.
One person on being asked what her Idea
of a site would bo remarked "On Kitten
house Square, If tho site of tho Academy
' of Jtuslc could not bo gotten," whereupon
Lre was a general titter, and a certain
hkhly entertained young gentleman
present remarked sotto voce, "Why not
City Hall Square?"
Just tho same, It is well to nlm high In
It things, don't you think? And Judging
from the general enthusiasm of tho meot.
' ine the Art Alliance building will not
only be a "go," but will bo supported by
the forty odd clubs of artistic pursuits
which were represented In the alliance
rooms. Thoro were several speeches dur
ing the meeting, and Mrs. Yorke Steven
ton had a number of Interesting things
to tell the assembled few. The alliance Is
one of the dreams of her life, you know,
and ihe has been most energetic In pro
moting the building idea.
Mrs. Edward Blddle conducted the
meeting, V- Samuel' Klelsher spoke and
thero were -a number of club representa
tives who expressed themselves as eager
In the names of their clubs and societies
to help In the support of such n building.
.Newton Potts, who Is secretary of the
Actors' Chuich Alliance, of which George
Arllss is president, said that tho building
and proponed auditorium and theatro
'would no doubt be a gteat boon to his
locjety. Mr. Potts is also secretary of the
Charlotte Cushman Club.
THERE were present nlso delegates
from tho Academy of tho Fine Arts,
the Ait Club, Arts and Crafts Guild,
American Academy of Political and Soclat
,Bcience, City Club, Civic Club, Collego
Club, Contemporary Club, Dickens Fel
lowship, Emerson Club, Ethical Culture
Society, Eurydlce Chorus, Fellowship of

Club, Woman Writers' Club, Hathaway
Shakespeare Club, Saturday Club of
Wayne, New Century Club of Chester,
Ridley Park Club, Wednesday Musical
Club and Country Club of Not wood.
An awful number of names to wade
through, I admit, but then I. lIiows the
Interest In which the matter is being held
' and 'speaks well for ' the cultivation of
the fine arts In the city, which is a great
center of art and inuslc in these modern
Cays.
It was ery amusing after the meeting
broke up to hear the bits of conversation
In the various groups. Tea was served,
Mrs. Jab Drlnton piesldlns at tho tahle,
and Mrs. Blddle, Mrs. Bob Logan, Mis.
Stevenson, and Mrs. Webster Fox ie
celving. SHOULD a man under every circum
stance strive to be gallant, evan If
his size does not admit' of It? You see
one thinks on these matters now and
again when a sad lesson comes to one's
notice. The cause of all this soliloquy is
this! At n smr.11 nnd Infnvmnl Hnt-ifn nf
P recent date a ceitain lather hefty lady
t ai pirouetting with a dannet- little man
and lost her footing. Galjantly fiiend
partner clung to her, .hlnkng to stay
ber on her downwaid path; but, alas,
the lady being the heftier of tho two
"fame a cropper," and such a ciopper!
Right smack in the middle of the ball
room door, and Sir Knight, trying to up
hold her, lost his balance and came ker
plunk on top of her!
It Is hard to appreciate u Joke on one's
elf, but it only makes people laugh
harder when we show we are mad after
having unwittingly made ourselves look
foolish. But it's true. We cannot re-
v . member how funny a Joke Is if we are the
L V1ltltv. Tl 1 1. .. .
......,.. is a, a quenoru mina you,
and not to be pondered too quickly. Be
that as It may, I would not have liked
to be In the would-be gallant knight's

looked as If she would rat him un nllvp!
