The Club Season.

Ths Club Season.
The club season is TO q close.
and many have gwen their last entertain
ments and held their final meetings. The
annual elections are being held and officers
and committees are selected to serve for
the season which opens IN October. Many
dancing clubs have been in existence. n
fortnigntly and monthly parties have kept
the members familiar with their art.
Cards have held their devotees at regular
intervals. and have not suffered neglect at
irregular periods. The ease with
whichone may entertain friends
parties q popular mode OF diversion. The
Dramatic Club has kept its men,
bers interested anticipating and en-
joying the programmes from month
TO month. To see the talents de-
veloped in persons, unknown until the
plays were given. has kept all in a pleas
ant state of expectancy. Musically the
season has not been what it should be.
though the May festival will supply any
deficiency of the year. The Mennerchor.
School of Music, Matinee Musicsio and 9TH
er societies and churches have o what
the could to develop musical taste. but
concerts by out-of-town artists have
not been many, and those given have not
been largely attended except when COM
plimentary. From q literary point OF view
the season has been rich. The Art Associa-
ton provided a course OF twelve lectures
on Tho Italian Painters" By Mrs; Frances
NJ. Haberly. The Contemporary Club has
had eight addresses or lectures by learned
and famous persons. The literary clubs
have had Mr. James Lane Allen here twice.
and expect to have Mr.. Thomas Nelson
Page before the season is entirely over.
Several so-called lecture courses have been
gwen, though the lectures" have not all
been addresses by individuals. These were
varied with concerts and other pleasures.
The literary club programmes showed as
great q variety of subjects rs nny one
would find in o large. well-selected library.
The Katharine Merrill programme was
purely American subjects. These were In
terspersed by the reading of papers by In
vited guests. The Over-the-Teacups have
delv ed into the French revolution; the
Woman's Club has been round the
world. and many countries have been
touched in one way or another. and many
writers have been discussed. The Fort
nightly. Clio. Minerva and other clpbs have
all done their special lines OF brain
work. The Portfolio. unique among clubs
has had q kind of Bohemian existence
among musicians and psintoro, writer's and
picture makers. One evening In the club
was given 20 Some experiment. u Ulobufo
making" which was n series of tableaux.
under the charge of Mr.. I. T.. Steele. In
each club the work has been for q broader
culture. Live contact, mind with mind,
does more than reading in many instances.
and. through the clubs. the member secnre
more mental food than they Otherwise
would.
