pleasing description of his birthplace at Stratford
on-Avon, and of the more pretentious home of his
later years in the same quiet village; with brie
reference to his domestic life with Anne Hatha
way.
Miss Ellen Gould read most interesting and
suggestive paper answering the question "How
can we best study Shakespeare. and what do we
gain by studying him?' An article on the s'Strong
Minded Women of Shakespeare was also on the
programme, but was not read.
Miss Chaddock, being present as a guest, very
kindly yielded to the wish of many of the circle
who were acquainted with her reading, and gave
scene from Shakespeare's King John with great
force and feeling The circle also were indebted
to another guest, Miss Ford; for enjoyable instru
mental music.
Miss Frances Hunt presented paper, opening
q discussion on the subject, do women receive
tle same remuneration for actual labov accom-
pli,hed as men? If not, why?' The question
seemed to be one OF universal interest, and the
discussaan was entered into with animation by
