utive board meeting at the residence
of the secretary, Mrs. A. T. Bigelow,
of Merriam Park, after which Mrs.
Bigelow will entertain the members at
luncheon. The most important con-
sideration to be brought to the atten-
ton of club women at the breakfast Is
the question Of removing the girls
training school from Red Wing, where
1t is so close to the boys school. This
will be presented by Mrs. G.. G. Hig-
bee, who is thoroughly informed and
has the matter very much at heart.
The committee having this question
In charge and which is now working
for the desired end, consists of Mrs.
r. r. DOrr, of st. Paul, chairman;
Mrs. G. G. Higbee, of ST. Paul; Mrs.
A. G.. Watson, of Marshall; Mrs. H. A.
Towne, of Minneapolis, and Mrs. w.
w. Fowler, Of Rochester. The COM
plete separation of these two training
schools is regarded as imperative by
those who are fully informed of the
evil effects of the present system.

man will leave this week for New York.
Mrs. E. G. Haynie, of Iglehart street, is
going South. as is Mrs. c. w. Johnson,
of Virginia avenue.
st. Paul has had for a long time a
very poor reputation as a lecture city
and not unjustly, and yet at the pres
ent time there are three courses of
lectures being given, all Of which are
well attended, and next week fourth
series by DR.. Burton will be begun.
Two Of these series are upon art, by
Mrs. Henry G. Burbank, on alternate
Mondays, and by Prof. Fenollosa on
Friday and Monday nights, the last one
to be given Friday evening of this
week. 1t is perfectly natural for st.
Paul to turn out to hear Mrs. Bur-
bank, as she never lacked an audience
in this city, but the attendance at Prof.
Fenollosa's talks on Oriental art is very
encouraging, particularly as he is phil
osophical and not easy to follow. On
Thursday evening the Art Workers
guild Will give a reception for Mr..
Fenollosa at Miss LOOMS school on
Holly avenue.
Prof. Watson Cooper, of Hamline, is
giving very fine course of lectures
Monday afternoon at Odeon hall on
Shakespeare's tragedies, and these are
Well attended by women with sprink-
ling of man or two. Dr. Richard
Burton, formerly of our own univer-
sity, now literary editor for the Lothrop
Publishing company, of Boston, will
lecture four times this month at the
Park Congregational church on Tues
dow ifS1.c fII1so
art, as amusement as life and as ideal.
Dr. Burton is not a stranger to US and
there is no danger Of his talks not be-
ing well attended.
The appointment Of Miss Ada Muir
ply, of st. Paul, to have charge Of the
Minnesota building at the st. Louis
exposition, is wise choice. Miss Muir
ply is to act as hostess for the six
months of the fair to all visitors to
our building, and this insures to every
one cordial welcome. Miss Murphy
is charming, gracious woman, who
has had much social experience both
here, in Washington and abroad, and
the choice Of Miss Murphy for this po-/
sltlon meets with general approval.
She will not leave for st. Louis until
April or May.
A recent acquisition to army circles
here is Maj. Derby, engineer corps u.
S. A, who has recently arrived from
New Orleans. He has taken the F. f.
LOOMS house on Avon street and will
