JEW YORK’S smart society is interested in a new or- 
ganization known as “The Twilight club,” the object ~ 
of which is best described by the following, which is — . 
printed on place markers: “The Twilight club is not 4 
dining club. It is a club where a lively, intelligent dist : 
cussion is- preceded by a simple, sane sanitary meal of — oe 
unadulterated foods. The only speakers wanted at the 
Twilight club are those who have something worth say- oe 
ing; who know how to say it; who khow when: to’ stop. f 
He who needs an introduction to hold friendly converse | 
with his neighbor at table should be examined by an alien- 
ist.” The Twilight club evidently takes itself seriously a 
and should, under the right auspices, be an ‘interesting oe 
organization. Among the topics discussed there at a re- — ou 
cent dinner were: “Preparedness,” “Polite Society,” = nS 
“National Manners,” “Wall Street,” “Women’s Fashions,” “Se 
“American Husbands, ” and ae College Graduates.” = Soa
