few. Programmes below which have been
issued by the clubs show a wide variety
OF subjects One club has made War"
its subject, and another has reviewed
the Spanish-American war. Several clubs
have taken classical authors 10 study,
and others only the modern writers. One
clubs will take a popular novel for its
study for nearly the entire season. Many
OF the clubs have no particular theme and
the members who read papers are allowed
10 select their own topics. There is little
opportunity for discussion noted on the
programmes, but in most of the clubs there
are certain papers or conversations which
give opportunity for drawing out individual
thought in the several directions The club
programmes in themselves are worthy or
study and courses OF reading might readily
be decided by the nonclub men or women,
who. as a usual thing. read in "hit-and-

10 hear from, but owing TO absence from
the city Of the summer tourists the final
reports are not all in. The club member
