Consultations seem to be the orde,
Of the day among the organizations Of
Billings. The Woman's club, which
has been in existence for the past
three years, held it's regular monthly
meeting at the home Of Mrs. J. D.
Matheson Monday afternoon at which
time the members voted to disband
the organization, and reorganize
under the name Of the Billings
Woman's club. The change was
deemed advisable in order to limit
the membership and abandon the use
Of the old constitution which was not
found conductive to efficient club
work. The present members of the
club will be charter members of the
Billings Woman's club.
The missionary society Of the Con-
gregational church met at the home of
Mrs. J. r. Goss Monday afternoon.
The hour set apart for study was de-
voted to the island of Ceylon. Seve-
raj interesting articles OH the country

freshments. The next meeting will
