by Mrs. Quinby in New Hampshire since
the meeting at Weirs, organizing Mis-
sion Circles. It was graceful thing
for the brethren to give the women right
of way on the evening Of Aug. 7. Mrs.
Quinby presided, and SO spoke to the
point on the general work Of the Asso-
citation. Mrs. Smiley. the President of
the New Hampshire Circles. gave fifteen
minutes to practical suggestions. Mrs.
Nash, wife of DIR. Nash OF Brooklyn, told
how the members of the "Woman's AL
lance" in her husbands parish did their
work, and it proved to be very inter
esting story. The Shubert Quartette
furnished the music. which as usual was
fine. DIR. Nash eaid-and he ought to
know-it was the best Woman's meeting
he ever attended save one only, the an
nual at Brooklyn last May.
REPORT OF THE OUTLINE COMMITTEE.
Mrs. Libby, Chairman on Committee
on Topics for Mission Circles, reports
that the committee has completed its
work. and as September is at hand, we
will anticipate the publication of the
leaf1et. 1t will, however, be ready for
distribution in few days. 1t will facil-
itate matters if State Presidents will
send in their orders without further no.
tice to the Corresponding Secretary. The
"Outline" covers good deal of ground.
and any Mission Circle going over it, as
the topics are given, from month to
month, cannot fail to be much improved
by the course. Now there will be no
excuse for not doing something.
