For a time the Colony Club appeared to be nothing more than a beautiful toy which its members played with.

But soon it began to develop into a sort of a woman's forum, where all sorts of social topics were discussed.

Visiting women of distinction, artists, writers, lecturers, were entertained there.
Last year the club inaugurated a Wednesday afternoon course in industrial economics.

The women did not invite lecturers from Columbia University to address them.

They asked John Mitchell and many lesser lights of the labor world.
