There are seven of the rooms done over III

HOW 1T LOOKS.
The secrc.ary's office is well and COM
fortably fitted out. the furniture Eeing pam
but of such nature as G most conveniently
fill the reauirementsd demanded. Rugs cover
the floor and at the windows there are
shades of light color, but which match the
interior furnishings and harmonic with
the rooms general appearance
The reading and meeting room is partially
filled with tables and chairs and all the
papers, periodicals. and magazines are on
file for use by the general public. The up
stairs rooms are furnished with such furni-
ture, including chairs and table each, as
fill the want Of classes whose studies and
recitatoDs are heard there. OF the two

for use as class room and the otter for
bicycle storage.
General Secretary W N. Multer said yes,
terday the association's work was pro-
crossing nicely, and the prospect was
very encouraging for successful fall and
winter season. Plans for taking up the
several educational branches have been
perfected, and there is every reason to
believe that the coming fan and winter
season will be an especially prosperous one.
