THE NEW CENTURY CLUB.

1t was decided on Tuesday to accept the
kind offer of the use of the Mems Club
room for the New Century Club meetings
during the coming year. The next meeting,
March 21st, will therefore be the last held
by the latter in their present room. Sew
eral items in regard to printing OF programs,
ETC., for the drama to be given in the Opera
House, April 4th, were also discussed and
decided upon and followed by the reading
of brief, yet good description of British
Coloni ial Possessions" written by Mrs.
Howard A. Pool; Miss Ada Cochran gave
an excellent account of ''The Arnolds," !"
and Miss Annie Ellison told of the life of
William Makepeace Thackeray and re-
viewed Vanity Fair"
The program for the afternoon closed
with bright and amusing little charade
in which Miss Laura Willis, Miss Allie
Mckee and Miss Annie Ellison took part in
creditable manner. Miss Willis making
an exceedingly good old guardian with a
Grabbed temper and sore back, while Miss
Mckee as a dashing and sometimes imper-
tinent young ward, was unsurpassable.
