Lure of the Menu
A woman's club has turned the tables on the ungallant men's clubs, which either rofuso women admittance or, aft or much head-shaking, give them grudging entry to their outskirts (states tho "Duily Telegraph"). It has decided to admit men. And City "chiefs" ma.y now bo seen lunching daily at the Langbourny in Upper Thames street, or smoking on the beautiful terrace which overlooks tho Pool of London:
While feminist women's clubs and anti-feminine men's clubs aro closing down, moving to smaller premises, or otherwise struggling through the financial crisis that has overwhelmed clubland, the Langbourn has found a way to enlarge membership lists, and is making plans for expansion. One of the greatest lures to the male members was the fact that these City women know how to food them. "They like our home-made lunches and teas," stated a member. "Many of them already knew tho club as guests.".
Hundreds of steamed puddings of the good old English kind are eaten in one week in this picturesque dining-room among the wharves. The men members aro "particularly keen, on currant and sultnua roll and apple dumplings."
