 The books for the women's library have arrived and will be distributed tomorrow. years supply of read ing has been obtained. The manner of distribution is unique but prac- tical. A list of all the members is prepared and one copy of it placed in each book. One book is distri- buted to each member and she is al lowed to retain it two weeks. At tho expiration of this time each one consults her list and passes her book to the lady next on the list to her. This method, it will be seen, does away with the necessity of having librarian as each member acts in that capacity. The only disadvantage it possesses is that members have no choice in the selection of their books but as great care and good sound judg- ment has been exercised in their se- I lection, this disadvantage is not so great as it might appear.
