CLUB

ANTI-PRUDE

FORMED.

MEMBERS MUST NOT BE

TOO CONVENTIONAL. Are you an Anti-prude?

If you dislike gossip, cattiness, and backbiting, you have, at any rate, the spirit of London's latest club.

ara

Its name is "The Anti-prude and Arts Club. Its members some who intend never to be "too" snobbish or too conventional over the minor details of life."

Its membership is restricted to 41-who "must have a hobby, and aspire to. or have, a profession."

Malice in conversation is doom- ed, but gently:

".

Members should try not to gossip or say unkind things about people, but, instead, to put in a good word whenever possible.

This is not so much a rule as a request, for none can be forced to do it,

Though the name of the club gives no hint of it, members are also, expected: to support British industries.

Miss Lily Elsie is the president, and other recruits (quite, num- ber from the stage) are Mias Dorothy Seacombe, Miss Dorothy Dickson, Mr. Arthur Margetson, Mr. Barrie Oliver, and Major "Pop" Beeman, of the Rochamp- ton Club.

"It all started through three of us overhearing someone being 'catty" and back-biting, and we thought how horrible it was," said Mias Binky Moss, the treasurer,. to a press representative,

"So three of us-Miss Dorothy Hyson, daughter of Miss Dorothy Dickson, Miss. Winne Paget,. daughter of Major J, B, Paget, and myself-started the club."
