Club Notes.
DAUGHTERS OF THE CoNFEDERACY

Inc daughters or the COnleuer-
acy held most delightful meet
ing in their club room at the Wo-
mans Building, Wednesday, the
10Th. In the absence of the presi-
dent the meeting was presided over
by Mrs. R. H. SAMSON. the vice
president.
The reports from the returning
delegates from the convention at
Richmond were especially enjoyed.
In fact, as we listened to Mrs.
Hensley's and Mrs. Selden's pa
pers it seemed we were all present.
The charming cordiality of the
Richmond people, the enthusiasm
of noble Southern women met to
commemorate the Confederacv,
and many other delightful fea-
lures of the convention, were so
wildly described we all felt and
enjoyed them greatly.
Miss Josie Cannon rendered
dialect reading with grace and
spirit.
1t was deeply regretted that Mrs.
Hunter Nicholson was absent and
the Chapter was deprived Of hear
ing her paper on "Reminiscences
of a Refugee"
TUESDAY MORNING MUSICAL CLUB.
Tuesday morning, November %,
the second "open meeting" of the
present season will be held. These
meetings were originally designed
for the entertainment of the asso-
ciate and honorary members, but
recent action of the club makes
it possible for friends of the men,
bers to attend and enjoy the pro-
gram. The members may invite
one or more friends, by paying ten
cents each for the invitation cards
issued.
A most excellent program has
been arranged for the meeting. 1t

OssOLI CIRCLE.
Ossoll gave Monday to the crit
les, Brunetiere and Edmund Gosse,
Miss Temple acting chairman.
In the absence of Mrs. Turner,
Miss Hudson read the paper on
Brunetiere, Mrs. Hall giving, as
per assignment, Gosse. The dis
cussion following proved no less
interesting than that of the more
widely known and read Macaulay,
Dickens and Kipling, who have
preceded these in the course. In
deed it is no flattery to say that
whatever Ossoli does she does with
her might, and her might is never
in any sense weakness.
The most notable feature of the
business session was the presenta-
ton and acceptance of library,
the gift of our One-time townsman
and always-to- be remembered Jour
nalist, Mr.. Edward Roundy, bet
ter known as Beaumont" The
gift was rendered in a graceful little
speech by Mrs. Edward Sanford.
Mrs. Yeager spoke for Ossoli in
acceptance, while Mrs Beard most
happily responded in behalf Of the
Federation of Clubs, for whom the
gift is ultimately intended. The
library includes eighty volumes,
we'll selected. TO quote Mrs.
Beard, Mr.. Roundy is eminently a
book faster" and the feast he Of
fers may be taken without fear of
moral contagion or mental midi
gestion. This library is to be
known as the Beaumont library
and is third in the series Of four
with which Ossoli has enriched the
State Federation, and first in Ten
nessee given by a man to wo-
mans club. Ossoli is proud of the
trust reposed i'll her and deeply
grateful for Mr.. Roundy's benef-
cence. This she expressed by a
rising vote. Much credit is due
