Annie L. Diggs and Mrs. George Smith
were voted upon and added to the list
of individual members; the HenantnuS
club was also taken into the Federation.
No especial programme had been out
lined for the afternoon so a new plan
was tried; that of discovering little
of the method of the different clubs in
their study. Art and History were the
only topics taken up as the time was
limited. The clubs represented which
are engaged in the study of art were
the Atlanteans, Nautilus, Spalding and
the WOman'S club.
Mrs. Jonathan Thomas who has
Travelled in Europe and visited all the
famous galleries, testified as to the ben
eft of club work in this direction.
The clubs studying history were the
D. a. r., Occidental, w. T. X, Vignette,
Junior Atlanteans and the Nineteenth
Century.
The members of the ChaIdean club
wehe the hostesses for the afternoon
pleasant social half hour was spent by
the ladies. Coffee was served from
silver urnS on small tables in the lecture
room; salad and waters were also
served. The idea of serving light re-
freshments at the close of the meeting
is a good one as it imparts a home like
air to the occasion, and the ladies in
stead of hurrying away will remain
awhile. discussing the events of the
meeting club work in general or the
topics of the day.
