winters will be devoted to this line of
study and the program for the two sea-

will be something else than Scotland.
Judge Oliver G. Hall is president of
the club for the ensuing year with
Charles S. Pettengill as vice-president
and Miss Edith K. Partridge as sec
rotary and treasurer. The executive

Alice S. Reynolds, Prof. Chas. F. Cook,
Mrs. Charles f. Penney, and Mrs.
Annie H. Farnham. The program for
