promises great pleasure for the club.
Some of the questions growing out of
the study of the first act were The in
creasing number of fortune hunters
among the American young men and the
reasons for this increase; the effect on
faults of constant reminders Of their ex-
istence; the change in popular opinion
since Shakespeare time Of the neces-
sity for marriage for women, and the
growing independence of women. Word
study and the study of historical and
classical illusions and textual interpre
tations accompany each lesson, and
character study is, as 1t should be, the
chief delight of the club. The club meets
