LADIES' LITERARY MEETING
CLUB SESSIONS RESUMED, WITH
LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Mrs. Igleheart, the New President,
Delivers an Address-Fine Music
al Frogramme-Reports.

Under the most suspicious circum-
| terday began new years work. Over
| 100 ladies were present to participate
| in the pleasures of Presidents Day.
The coy club house had been at
tractively decorated and with the
! light gowns and flower trimmed hats
of the ladies presented a scene of life
| and animation.
After the meeting had been called
to order and the minutes of the last
meeting read, Mrs. Montague Ferry S
beautiful contralto voice was heard in
| Dreams" and "A Little Worn Out
Shoe
Then followed Mrs. Igleheart who, in
her own happy manner thanked the
club for the honor conferred in making
her its president and asked for the
hearty cooperation and support of the
members in discharging the duties of
the office She said, in part: The
club finds itself somewhat in the posi-
ton of the 16-year-old girl who has
outgrown short dresses and long braids,
and has not yet adjusted herself to the
trailing gowns and coiled hair of her
new estate. The days of adjustment
have their difficulties. The trial of our
new conditions last year gave oppor-
tunity TO see something of what the
difficulties in our readjustment are, and
We are now in a position to face them
and, as far as possible, to find their
remedy.
THE whole world is travelling over
economic questions. Every great club
in the country is throwing the weight
of its influence along some line or
other of the endless phases of this sub
ject. Shall we sit idly by and give our
few minutes for serious study, all of
them, to the discussion of questions
settled long ago, or to any subject that
has no vital connection with the times
il which we are living?
I'VE are entering upon the twenty
second year of the life of the Ladies'
Literary club. Old things have passed
away, new conditions confront us. In
material affairs we are most prosper
Gus; emancipation from debt, while sill
in the future, is still more distinctly
seen than year ago. The club house
is our pride and pleasure: our member
ship is increasing. Shall We sit down
complacentiy and admire ourselves?
Rather let us, having adjusted our
selves to our new garments. enter upon
a full realization of our power for good
and recognize as we have never done
before, our responsibility for its use.
$50 may the new century find us
abreast of its thought, intelligent, wide
awake, interested women, ready for our
share in the work it will have for our
hands to do
Mrs. Igleheart was followed by Miss
Margie Weber. who sang The Last
Rose of Summer and, received. a most
enthusiastic encore. : IS 81;
Reports of the different committees
were afterwards read and. an outline
given by the chairman of the work
mapped out for the coming year.
Mrs. Hal Brown proposed that Mrs.
Jules La Barthe, who was present as
visitor should be made an honorary
member of the club.
Mrs. Royle spoke feelingly of the
death of Mrs. Tuttle, who was formerly
a club member. and suggested that the
president should appoint committee
to pass resolutions of sorrow to be pre-
scented to her family.
The programme closed with two bal
lands sung by Mrs. Sutton of San
Francisco, who has q beautiful mezzo
soprano voice.
An informal half hour followed during
which tea was served in the dining
room downstairs. Those assisting were
