OUT AND ABOUT.

OUT AND ABOUT.
! The Worcester Girls club held a very
important meeting last night, at which
| it talked over it's finances discussed the
future, voted to continue to live, and
elected officers for the ensuing year.
Last week the circumstances in which
the club found itself were sketched in
The Spy-the lack of funds, the lack of
presence and the seeming Indifference of
most of the members. Taking these ele-
ments into account, the council, which
| met Monday night, voted to recommend
that the club suspend its meetings for
while. This decision was read to the
| girls last night. 1t might have been ac-
cepted had not Miss Mix brought the
lgood news that Emmanuel church. which
| is finishing off several new rooms for
| lay work, would give it the use of a
room on certain nights of the week, be-
! ginning in January or earlier. This
golden opportunity was accepted CRATE
fully. The elocution class, under the
direction of Miss Couch, will meet as
usual tonight, and then plans will be
made for its future, and also for the
| December business meeting. The club
rooms at / Vernon street will be given
up at the close of the current week,
while some of the furniture will be sent
to Emmanuel church and the decorations
will be stored.
| One of the disabilities under which the
club has labored has been the lack of
officers. Since last April it has been
without a president, and the lack of a
centralized and centralizing power has
been felt by the members. A president
| has been sought outside the club limits.
Last night a nominating committee
was appointed to report before the close
of the meeting The committee brought
in the following report: For president,
| Miss Mary Fitzgerald; first vice presi-
dent, Miss Mary Kenny; second vice
president, Miss Mary OMeara; assist
ant secretary, Miss Mary Burns; treas
urer, Miss Margaret A. Wray; assistant
| treasurer. Miss Della Hale; chairman
of hospitality committee, Miss Grace
| Mix The report was unanimously ac-
cepted
After this week, the club will not
meet again as SSbody until the regular
business meeting the first Tuesday in
December. Then the above list of off,
GERS will be voted in officially.

Through a mistake in sending out the
notices, there is a misunderstanding as
TO the times of meeting of Rev. A. S.
Garver'9 art class at the Society of
| Antiquity. AS a fact the class will
meet for organization this forenoon at
| II o'clock A good many teachers have
expressed the wish to join the society
and enter the class, and if these can
signify at the meeting today their
choice of the days AND hours for the
class, an effort will be made to accom-
modate them. The work will cover the
great period in Greek art and will be-
gin with the Parthenon.
The banquet on Tuesday at the So
ciety of Antiquity has been given up,
but there will be historical entertain
ment, consisting of addresses by local
speakers and speakers from out of
