Men and Women Form Good Fel
lowship Club Together Under
Y. W. C. A. Leadership.
The Good Fellowship Club has made
Its appearance In society In Hangchow,
China,
It began with the desire of a pro
gressive young Chinese doctor to give
his compatriots, especially the Chris
tians, some healthful form of social In
tercourse.
Channels for a good, clean, social
life among Chinese people are very
limited. Until recently* becoming a
Christian often meant cutting oneself
off from one’s friends and relatives,
also from feast days and festivals.
As for Joint meetings of men and wom
en—well, such a thing was never heard
of In decent society.
The young doctor’s plan of having
a club where men and their wives
might come together to enjoy a good
time with each other was discouraged
and sniffed at. However, a few people
agreed to he pioneers In the cause of
socIhI intercourse, Hiid Y. W. C. A. sec
retaries agreed to help make the club
a success.
At first the meetings of the club
were laughed at by outsiders and the
whole affair considered a Joke. How
ever, the members kept oil meeting,
first at one house and then at another.
Soon the men got over ttie feeling of
strangeness at starting out with their
wives on Tuesday evening for a
friend’s koine. The women began to
enjoy the outing and to take part lo
the discussions—an Intelligent part,
too—much to the surprise of their hus
bands.
The membership grew. The club’s
fame began to spread. At first the dis
cussions of the club were conducted 1 li*
English. Soon It became necessary
for them to be carried on In Chinese
so that more of the women could un
derstand and take part. Mauy of tho
scoffers begun to apply for admission.
The members began indulging In much
friendly chaffing and occasionally for
got their dignity to play Jokes on one
another. Finally It became so largo
that It had to he divided into two sec
