OF that days programme. All OF the DAYS
the majority of the subjects were taken.
| new idea In clubs has been recently ad-
| vanced In Houston. with fiattering success.
THE Book Circle" is made UP OF twenty
| nine ladies', each one OF whom has bought
| one hook. The books are exchanged every
| ten days, the course Of distribution follow :
| Ing, rs nearly as possible circle The
ladies composing the book exchange are:
Mrs. w. c. Crane. Mrs O. e. Drew, Mrs.
II. f. Ring. Mrs. p. *. Ewing, Mrs. r. s.

dress.
The arrangement has been formed so that
ladies' In the sane neighborhood have con-
! secutive numbers. and the exchange, which
occurs on the 10th. Goth and 30th Of each
month. is much facilitated
The club has aroused so much interest
that. with little effort. a second exchange
might be formed. At the close of the series
each lady receives her own hook back again
and she is then the pcssessor Of one, while
she has read as many as there are mem
bers in the club.
AS It has proved impracticable IN other
cities To have these book exchanges too
large. II has Leon found necessary to close
this one with a membership of twenty
nine.

by the individual members Of the circle.
