Club women for one week have had
rest. The only Woman's Club meeting OF
the week, aside from the, regular diee
Club rehearsal of Tuesday, was the CiuD
Social Day, of Thursday, devoted TO the
Home Department, under supervision OF
Miss Louisa NJ Edge, chairman. The pro-
gramme proved most interesting, inciud-
ing "Business Women in the Home,
Music in the Home and little sketcn
of the Home Department itself, by MISS
Edge Then, too there was plenty OF
music
Speaking of music the club women are
using more of it, and less papers of a
literary character at their meetings
Where in the past it was customary to
rattle off paper after paper without any
intermission, music, either instrumental
or vocal is now introduced between each
discourse, with the result that more JUS
tice is being done both speakers and aud
ience. The audience listens better be-
cause it is able to digest, or at least
grasp, the contents of one paper before
another is poured out upon it.
Next week promises lWO W O1ttaA , NiesS
Department meetings, that Of the Philan-
thophy Department on Monday, at the
residence of Miss Coffin. No. sc Glenwood
avenue, instead of at the residence OF
Mrs. J. Garriok, according to calendar
and that of the Town improvement De-
partment on Tuesday afternoon, at half
past three in. Hasbrouck Institute.
The programme for the Town Improve
ment Department includes a paper on
.sstreet Cleaning in Large Cities of the
United States and Europe" by Mrs w.
D. Edwards
The Ramblers had an interesting meet
ing on Wednesday last, at Hasbrouck In
stitute in preparation for a lecture to be
given Wednesday, December 20, by the
Rev. Charles Herr. D. D., on Buddhism
The Ramblers, of course studied the lie
and religion of Buddha SO that they might
the more intelligently digest DR.. Herr
lecture.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to hold
this lecture in the kindergarten room OF
the Institute unless the audience should
prove too large when it will adjourn to
the hau. The Literature Department OF
the Wonan's Club invited to be present
