Ke·ilfiJorth Cltib t At Neighbors Cl·b Social Calerular Recot·i·es Lent , _________, This Friday evening the Kenilworth club is giviqg a dinner dance with Mrs. Wendell .Ciarke and Mrs. Jacques de Ia Chapelle as hostesses. Announcements for this month and the first part of April say, "In keeping with the custom usual at this time of the year, and hoping to please the great majority of the inembers of the club by so doing, the club's social activities have been considerably curtailed during the present Lenten season." There will be no party on March 16, and none. in April 6. There will be a supper bridge on March 23, and, by special request, a young people's dance during the usual spring ,·acation, March 30. The club asks for ideas or suggestions which would be helpful in making the club activities more attractive and it is not amiss to say that instead of giving criticism or of being able to make suggestions the members feel that the club has been most attractive this winter and the various committet>s have given more than could possibly be asked or expected. The pan·es have been varied and arranged to make every one satisfied and happy. The Friday morning lecture by Professor Franklyn Bliss Snyder meets this week at ·the home of Mrs. R. W.

Mrs. Kelso Farley, the president of the club, presided, and opened the · evening with a cordial welcome to the guests but the introduction of the speaker she gave to Mrs. Charles Bent, vice-president of the club, and chairman of the program committee. Mrs. Bent told the audience that Mr. Wells was a humorist, a .traveler, a lecturer and an engineer. He proved all of that and a great deal more. He has a fascinating personality, has a sparkling manner, and charming way of speaking. He told of the climate in the Malay, of the habits of the natives, of funny reminiscences of his experiences there, odd tales of animal life, and all rippling along in his inimitable style so that his audience was fascinated. · He told of fish that come out of the water, inflate themselves with air and bounce on the beach like rubber . balls, of mouse-deer only a few inches high, of full grown bears only fifteen inches high, of monkeys that come down to the beach in the early evei1ing and brush their teeth, . and of plants which exist in · the malaya which lie down when one breathes upon them but remain erect against a stiff breeze. And these strange things are true.
