SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

GRAFTON was held Thursday afternoon a
Unity church. Before the close of th'
meeting the church was well filled. The
first half hour was devoted to bushes:
which included the reports of various
committees, the reading of the minutes
and miscellaneous matters. Mrs. Willis
Norton read the treasurer's report OF
the Helman-Taylor Art Exhibit; she
reported that during the week, 5, ,4S2 peo-
pie attended the exhibit, ard the total
receipts amounted to $489 and some
cents. The ladies are well pleased with
the result of their undertaking.
Two new clubs were taken into the
Federation, The Ceramic Art club and
the "Searchers." Mrs. Norris kindly
volunteered to undertake the decorating
of Buchanan school as there was a
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Mrs. Hammatt.
An interesting programme was given;
Mrs. Ba1rd's talk on Corea was bright
and entertaining, though the limited
time did not allow her to tell very much
of the life there. She told of the voy-
age and the countries she visited on
the way, also something of the modes
of travel and the peculiar habits of the
COreans.
Mrs. A. w. Dana's reading, a selee :
ton from Kipling, was heartily encored,
and later she gave another one, also
programme was much enjoyed; a
charming number was the piano solo,
IF 1 Were a Bird by HenSelt, played
by Miss Catherine Smith of the Ladies
Music club. The Song of a Heart by
Louise Tunnfson, was sung by Miss
Nina Thomas, and as an encore she
sang another verse of the same Selec-
ton. Mrs. P. H. Adams solo, 1T Was
Not So to Be- by Nessler, was encored
but she did not respond. At the next
meeting of the Federation the annual
election of officers will take place.
