THE OCEANA CLUB.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " spwyreTou.1 Snt,—It may interest some of your readers to know of the Oceans Club, which has been organized by the Victoria League for the convenience of ladies of the overseas Dominions residing temporarily in England on

account of the war. The Hon. Mrs. Spender Clay has generously lent delightful rooms in her house, 21 Hill Street, for the purposes of the Club, comprising dining-, smoking-, and drawing-rooms, secretary's room, and dressing-rooms. These are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including Sundays. Light refreshments and teas are served from 12 o'clock. Subscriptions to December 31st, 1916, are : town members, a guinea ; country members, half-a-guinea ; or for two members of the same family living together, fifteen shillings. There is no entrance fee. The Club was informally opened on May 8th ; a more formal ceremony will take place later. Meantime it is interesting to note that the first members elected represented Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland, and the daughters of the British Empire in the United States. All further information, conditions of membership, &e., will be supplied on application to the Hon. Secretary, Mrs. Albert Meysey-Thompson, 21 Hill Street, Berkeley Square.—I am, Sir, &c.,
