The Chicago Architectural Club mingles work and play in a thoroughly
Bohemian fashion. A recent invitation card bid its members to attend a
"Rip-Snorter at the Club House," stating that "provisions and provisos
would be provided and Frou Frous be on tap." The exact significance
of this cabalistic description is known only to the members and their
guests. The same card announced that the new Constitution and By-Laws
would be finally voted upon at the same meeting, and further announced
the conditions of a forthcoming sketch competition. Things move
rapidly in Chicago.
