English lord's mock snipe hunt ends in bear prank
Social columns recount a prank where an English lord, visiting Cody, joins a staged snipe hunt at a private preserve. A man in bear skins mimics a bear, panics the guest who runs into a barbed wire fence, then is rescued with humor as the party returns to Cody. The lord later sends a gift to his rescuer. The piece then notes the opening of the Colony women’s club in New York, its leadership, cost, and notable members.

MOTHERS-IN-LAW PRAISED AS CHIVALRY DEFENDS WOMEN
J B Clayton chief clerk of the Bureau of American Ethnology argued that ninety nine out of a hundred mothers in law are better than sons in law in a talk on The new chivalry at the M C A building.

He warned the double standard would end and noted prodigals or sisters should be treated the same as prodigal brothers. A sacred concert by the Philharmonic Ladies Quartet preceded the address.
