by Miss M. E. Abbott, A. NJ, met Friday
morning at the residence of Mrs. John H
Norton at S34 West Twenty eighth street
The club is studying the old Monkish writ
ers from the third to the eighth century,
and very interesting morning was spent
with some of the quaint old poets and prose
writer's. Among the subjects discussed were
King Alfred, the Saxon Chronicle
and st. Anselm. Miss Works read
a bright paper on Laysmon, the
gentle: pious priest, who wrote chronicle
of Britain early in the thirteenth century.
Miss Coffin discussed Godfrey of Mon
mouth, Robert of Gloucester, and Matthew
Paris, and Mrs. Workman gave some in
teresting sketches of Edward, The Confessor,
Hincmar and Alcuin. Mrs. Holmes dis
cussed Peter Lowford, Duns Scotus and
other old writer's. Mrs. Allie Kieffer also
gave an interesting paper on the history of
the music of the early centuries. Miss Alb.
bott added many bright points of interest
regarding the writer's discussed and others
of the same period and the general historical
connections. The club meets each week
with Mrs. Norton, and is one of the most
entertaining and instructive clubs in the
city. Miss Abbott has travelled extensively
and has large fund of information, which
she imports in very delightful manner to
