NuW LID LtAt - ONSIt SoCISASs as
though regretting the time lost in the
proerastination of last fall. and in the
1uietness of Holy Week, is beginning to
plan a brilliant social season for the next
six weeks, ushered in with Easter Sunday.
The ensuing week is full of social events,
specially planned for the season, as well
as the usual number of club meetings,
though, strange to relate, the number of
Easter brides this year is exceptionally
small. Thus far the only society we'd
ding booked for next week seems I'd be
that of Miss Cora Quincy, whose mar
rage to Mr.. Robert Carey will take place
In st. JOINTS Episcopal Church, on the
evening of April 5, at eight o'clock.
One of the many societies to close its
season this month is the Philanthropic
Committee OF the Worpan's Club. The
committee met Monday at the residence
of Mrs. Garrick, No. 10 Duncan avenue.

the residence of Mrs. Mark Miller. No. 2Ss
Grove street, on April 10, and the other at
the residence of Mrs. Brice Collard, No.
Sc Clinton avenue.

Monday last at the residence of Mrs. A.
j.. Newbury. No. 81 Clifton place, and

The Travellers Club has completed its
tour of Switzerland and it entered Ger
many last Tuesday evening at the resi-
dence of Mrs. A. J.. Newbury. No. 81 Cliff
ton place. AT next meeting the club will
study Berlin, at the residence of Miss Ada
D. Fuller, Clifton place.
More and more popular is the Literature
Department of the woman's Gu beeom-
ing. 1t present it is the largest of all the
departments and it is constantly
growing. 1t is of untold value to the
mother club as we'll as to the Individual
members themselves, while it would be
safe TO say that from it have come some
of the best papers the club has ever lis
tened to. In fact, 1t has been stated that
many of these papers are worthy of pub
lication in the leading magazines. Such
was the comment passed upon that read
last Wednesday by Miss Margaret Lacey
on sRuskin.'
a. a cobJNNt
the Literature Department has decided
upon The Italian Renaissance in Liter
ature,' with a certain portion of each
meeting devoted to current literature,
when the new books will be discussed.

soul, spiritualism and transmiss on of
thought, as well as a life sketch of that
lady.
At next meeting, April Il, the Ram
blers will study THE Flight of the Tar
tar Tribes" After this there viii be
but one more meeting, Club Day, which
falls on May 10, probably being the date
of the Russian Tea. with which the Ram
bIers will end their season.
