An image of Meta is included at the front of the article. She was leaving on the Belgenland for Paris via Liverpool.

  • Theatre design

    "About twenty years ago, in appreciation of having been made an honorary member, Meta presented our club with the handsome. hanging which you all saw in the lobby on Art Day. Painted on heavy coarse cloth, it gives the effect of a real tapestry. The three figures, in mediaeval dress, represent the Senior club and her two daughters, the Women Citizens Club and the Junior club. As most of you recall, the Women Citizens Club ceased to exist last year, and the Juniors grew up about two years ago and are now the Young Women's Club. Our third "daughter," the Danforth Junior Club, which also was deactivated two or three years ago, was not formed when the tapestry was designed. This tapestry furnished the theme for our club float in the town's 250th anniversary parade ten years ago, and was one of the loveliest floats in the parade."
