Quoted the past year and so beneficial
to the members, encourage US to hope
that the additional three, The Tourists,
Shakespeare, Current Literature, may
be equally satisfactory.
A musical committee has been appoint
ed whose office shall be to introduce
music as a regular diversion. 1t was not
the intent that the numbers should be
of so high a standard or so classical in
character as to appeal only to a few
musical students. No more should this
be beyond the comprehension of the
average club member. Music may be
made a most enjoyable and delightful
addition to our work.
A social feature was inaugurated two
years ago and has grown in favor more
and more until this year special COM
mittee was chosen TO take supervision of
this department. The social afternoons
have been so pleasant that they have be-
come an essential part OF our club life,
and few would now vote for their dis
|, continuance. The creation Of this COM
mlttee, also the musical one, was Dy
majority vote of the cub and they neces-
state a somewhat greater expenditure
! of funds to supply the service for such
entertainments. These committees diIIer
/ from sections and it must be remember
J ed that appropriations made to them are
for the benefit of the whole club and
articles purchased will be permanent
property not requiring constant renewal
Should any club member feel like con-
JrIDuung a cup and saucer, plate or
spoon. it will be thankfully received and
will save a necessary expense.

in that direction, and just now, we learn
