The Shakespeare society met at G. W.
Ceilings office Wednesday evening, and
had an interesting session discussing the
second act of Midsummer Nights Dream.
Owing to the absence of the conductor for
the evening, Miss Julia Leech, Mrs. Col
lings took charge OF the readings. The
parts were read in character that is, the
several parts We're each assigned to a
reader, to the manifest improvement of
the reading, some of the parts being al
most impersonated. There has been great
improvement in elocution all around in
the direction of naturalneSS and force, and
some of the members give evidence of con-
talent, so that the reading itself
is quite enjoyable to hear. AS the regular
meeting nights of the society fail on
Christmas and New Year there will be but
one more meeting until after the holidays
