      "Two independent printings matter more than one. A single notice could be a reporter's flourish; two, a year apart, in a paper that also called them the club colours without explaining the phrase, establish that the colours were the club's working identity in the 1920s and not a fact preserved only in its founding book.",
      "The same column records the ladies of the Emblem club entertaining on the Thursday with their regular business luncheon — the auxiliary's calendar running alongside the club's."
