In the meantime the
Jeweler's Wife had designed a Club Badge.
The Club was doing such Notable Work that some of the Members thought
they ought to have a Special Meeting and invite the Men. They wanted to
put the Cap-Sheaf on a Profitable Season, and at the same time hand the
Merited Rebuke to some of the Husbands and Brothers who had been making
Funny Cracks.
It was decided to give the Star Programme at the Beadle Home, and after
the Papers had been read then all the Men and Five Women who did not
hold Office could file through the Front Room and shake Hands with the
President, the Vice-President, the Recording Secretary, the
Corresponding Secretary, the Treasurer, and the members of the various
Committees, all of whom were to line up and Receive.
The reason the Club decided to have the Brain Barbecue at the Beadle
Home was that the Beadles had such beautiful big Rooms and Double Doors.
There was more or less quiet Harpoon Work when the Announcement was
made. Several of the Elderly Ones said that Josephine Beadle was not a
Representative Member of the Club. She was Fair to look upon, but she
was not pulling very hard for the Uplifting of the Sex.
