It will take place some time in December and promises to be the social affair of 4 the season.
 K One of the most promising organiza- tions of the winter is a Shakespeare club, consisting of a number of young people, who are determined to carry out course of study in a truly studi- ous way. At the head of the work is Mrs M L. Morse, formerly an instruc- tress in English at Knox college, Gales burg, H., and the State University of Iowa, at Iowa City.
 When the question of such an or ganization was first considered it was feared that there would not be sui ficient number of people interested to make it successful; but the promoters have found so much excellent material that they have been compelled to limit their membership to tWenty-four, that being as many people as can be com
 fortably accommodated in the aver age home parlor.
 The work will be systematic-frst tragedy, then a history and then g
 comedy. Two evenings will be devoted to each play,
 The programme of the first evening consists of narrative of the play with it's historical settings, followed by a character study under the direc tion of previously appointed leader : If the subject is exhausted, reading! follow, but if this rule is maintained
 there will be but little time for tha feature, The second evening will be devoted to an ethical study of the play, taking as a basis Professor Moulton's ''Lec lures on the Shakespearean drama" The club meets each alternate Fri U day evening. It is not improbabl . that, at the close of the season, comedy may be presented by clas \ talent.
