THE CLUBS.

The last meeting of the
.Brownings,' at the lovely home
of Mrs. Showers, was unusually
interesting. The prime reason
vas. that We werenstiil floating
in the realms of delight to which
had been elevated on the af
ternoon of April 18th, when the
rosebud BrownIEgs 50 charm
ingIy complimented their elder
sisters; an account of which has
already been printed in the col
umns of the EAGLE. but which
unlike most events will bear a
second mention. Various rea-
sons occasioned the absence of
several members. The essay
list. Mrs. Lewis, was present with
a paper that would have done
credit to Hawthorne himself;
though il it is doubtful if he
could have read with the ease
and grace that so charmed the
listeners. We are always glad
when Mrs. Lewis is ON duty.
The second paper, an epitome
of Marble Faun, Vas 10 have
been read by Mrs. Collier. She
was unavoidably detained Il.
therefore the work vas discuss
ed BY the club, with so much
enthusiasm that We were in dan
ger OF becoming followers OF
Hawthorne, when Mrs. Smith
cut the discussion short by sug-
costing that IL wastime We were
turning our attention TO Brown
ing again or our rosebud sisters
would outstrip US in the study
of the Peoples Poet
In the absence of our presi
dent we could do little but talk,
we did a good deal Of that. who
doubts itf We decided that
with Miss Elias sanction We
will devote a few months TO the
study of the Brownings- We
desire TO thank publicly, Mrs.
Chiffon and her class for the
delightful afternoon with the
beloved Brownings-
