The idea is' so gooti and the purpose so commendable that it should enjoy a quick, anti ex-. tensive growth that wiil include every. block, in every village. The 4'Block Circle" is an org an.ization the memi- bership of wbich is limiteti to residents of.a. given block. Meetings are usually heldA n the afternoon, with womien forming. the larger part of the gathering. The purpose is to cultivate a neighborly spirit, civic loyalty, and an increasing interest in the affairs of the village. How well. this bas worked ont' is dernonstrateti by tbe close relationships that bave been clevelopeçl andi the closer frientish ips that have been formeti. When a newcomer nioves into the block and ba-, become comfortably settleti, the famnily is calleti upon by meinhers of the "Block Circle" and given an urgent invitation to attend its next mneeting.ý This serves to break tbe social.ice anti leatis.to a. quick acquaintance with the neighbors. The meetings theniselves are decidedly informaI. Discussions are carried on to the tempo of flasbing needies or crochet hooks, and include everything froni recipes for delicious desserts to churcli affairs and what the Village authorities shoulti do about this or that, duning the course of which acquaint- ance progressés in many cases to friendships that will last as long as life itself. The spirit of the "Circle" spreads also to the heads of bouseboltis, anti wbule they nay flot par- ticipate in the afternoon sociabilities, repercussions reach them andi are spread as they meet in "gasoline alley" or chat in neigbborly fashion over the back, fence.
