New Century Club Lays Future Plans Woman's Century Club to Affiliate with Lyceum Club; Will Build in Loop The Woman's Century club is new in the club life of Chicago. Its or- ganization dates back to January of the current year, when it was formed for the purpose of having a club in the loop where the activities and in- terests of women in Chicago and its adjoining suburbs and villages might be combined to establish social and cul- tural contacts, although facilities for athletics are to be included in the large and beautiful home the club expects to erect within the next two years. Young as it is, it already is enlarging its scope, for at a large tea given Thursday, November 17, it was an- nounced that the club would join with the Lyceum club, an organization de- voted to the fine arts. The new club evolving from this combination is to be known as the Woman's Century and Lyceum Club Affiliated. Through this combination, it is ex- plained, the club will have internation- al affiliations with Lyceum clubs in Europe. Countries of Europe are to have their own departments, each to be represented by a prominent woman of its own nationality residing in Amer- ica. Plans for the club's future are many, some definite and near realization, others expressed as tentative. The club is to function after the first of the year with headquarters in the loop. Teas are to be given at intervals, and arrangements are being made for an open forum one day each week at the Palmer House for the discussion of subjects interesting to the home and country. The building for the club to be mon- umental, it is announced. "Soundness of finance, beauty in architecture and attractiveness and pracicality in ap- pointments will be manifest in this building designed for women and their activities." A children's department will be one of the features, where a mother may leave her children under the supervision of competent attend- ants in charge of the nursery, play- room, and children's library. There will be a hall of fame to perpetuate the names of the women who have achieved distinction." The membership includes women prominent in the business and pro- fessional world, in club activities, and in social life. Among these are the officers and members of the board of directors; Mrs. Myrtle Blacklidge, presi- jent pro tem, and vice president, head of the welfare department of the Illinois Fderation of Womn's clubs; Mrs. Louise M. Traer, executive secretary; Mrs. John F. McKeon, vice president, president of the second district, I. F. W.
