Clubs for the Professions

Sts,—The reasons for J. Lindsay's proposal of clubs for professioral people who take jobs away from home would seem to be inadequate. If, as stated by her, the membership of a political group (which hdd various activities), tennis-club or choral-society, fails to allow a persm to become a member of a social group or to meet congenial people, why should a professional club succeed ? It is also hardly correct to say that evening institutes are composed of people merely of the one class.---Yours faithfully, RUTH Pi:m.1,ms. 4 Perceval Avenue, Hampstead, N.W 3.
