subject. The paper of Mrs. Blanche
Holmes was devoted to II. Sienkiwicz
and his works. The quotation of the
members were all from Quo Vadis, his
greatest work.
The following meeting To,stoi was TAX
en- up by the club Mrs. Mary l.. Nc
Calm reading a paper on that author
and Mrs. Carrie e. Monroe one on Mos
COW. The answering quotations We're OF
course taken from the works Of Tolstof.
A visit was paid to Berlin next, Mrs.
Sadie J. Slater reading a paper on that
wonderful city. Mrs. Isabella Monteath
reading a sketch of Bismarck and gave
many interesting incidents of the life of
the Iron Chancellor. The quotations We're
all taken from the works of Schiller, and
they We're unusually interesting.
The next meeting found the club still
in Germany AID hat picturesque river
1.-THE Rhone' was described by Mrs.
Charles Passmore in her paper. Mrs.
Flora b. Wishon read a paper on
Goethe and all the quotations We're
given from his works.
England was the next country visited
by the Atlas club and Mrs. Jesse Wardell
read a paper or, London, it's churches,
palaces and great Museums" SO
linked is Shakespeare in the minds of all
! with England, that the paper on the
Men of Hamlet by Mrs. sara Vrooman
seemed very apropos. The quotations
We're all taken from the play of Hamlet.
The next meeting, of March 9TH, found
the club still in England and this time
Westminster Abbey was the place of in
terest, Mrs. S. Dena BoollDy reading u
paper on the picturesque old pile. Mrs.
Georgia w. Beckwith then took up 1.-THE
Heroines Of Hamlet" and quotations
from that play We're again given in re-
Spouse to roll rail-.
A subject full of interest to all women,
whether club women or not is the Red
Cross organization and the paper of Mrs.
Carroll or THE History of the Red Cross
Movement" was much enjoyed. From
the Red Cross to the Spaniards was an
easy step the two being indissolubly link
ed together by memories or the war. So
Mrs. Mary j. Daum devoted her paper
to "Prominent Spaniards of America"
The quotations all related to either the
one or the other.
A subject not supposed to be of inter-
est to women, or rather two subjects
We're discussed at the meeting of March
23rd, Great Tunnels of the World on
which Mrs. Jean L.. Hall read a COM
prehensive paper and which paper was
followed by one on Civ Engineering,'
by Mrs. a. F.. Knight and the papers
We're just as interesting, just as full of
facts and data as a man would have had
if given a paper IN the same subject.
March Goth was social day, and the
club enjoyed it to the uttermost. The
+, next place outside of America discussed
was Ancient Egypt" Mrs. Alma b.. Hin
kle reading a paper on that place of
mystery and Mrs. Blanche Holmes read
a paper on Cairo" The quotations were
from Anthony and Cleopatra. So inter-
esting did Egypt prove that the entire
month was devoted to that country. At
the next meeting Mrs. Mary L. Mccain
read an interesting paper describing the
Pyramids, the Sphinx and Obelisks and
giving quite a dissertation on Egyptian
architecture. A paper on The Nile
was read by Miss Alice NJ. ReznGr. The
quotations We're again taken from An
thony and Cleopatra.
On April 20 Mrs. Carrie f. Monroe read
a paper on the Suez canal, Mrs. Charles
Passmore following with a paper on
Egyptian literature. At the next meet
ing Mrs. Sadie J. Slater read a paper on
The Rulers of Egypt and Miss Reznor
read one on The Red Sea" The quota
tons for this meeting and the previous
one We're taken from writer's on Egypt
ian literature and subjects, many from
Sir Edwin Arnold.
From Egypt the club took UP
Florence, City Beautiful. Mrs. Sarah
Vrooman read a paper on that city of art
and Mrs. Mary J. Daum gave a descrip-
ton of it's famous art galleries. The
quotations all related to that city. On
