A club. “The Limit,” has been formed. It is a dining club only, the/ ’limit” being a quarter as the price of a meal. When members of the cltib are entertained at a luncheon or dinner the expense account of the hostess Is read to show the cost of everything served has been within the 25-cent limit There was much discussion when the club was formed as to the proper sum to spend and really make it a ’’stunt” and it was decided that 25 cents should be the limit spent for each of the members. » Mrs. Edward Stanley Kellogg was the hostess last night Other mem-

bers are Mrs. Walter Coles Cabell, Mrs. George W. Williams, Mrs. W. 8. Sims, Mrs. Edward Sturtevant, Mrs. Ernest Howe, Miss C. Olden Jones and Mrs. William Satterlee Pye So keen is the competition among the members that the prospective entertainers consult with their grocers to get prices of fancy morsels.
