c. L. S. C. LANIER MEETING. The mem
bers of Seaside Chautauqua Circle were
pleasantly entertained Monday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. Carrie F. Black, who is
member of the Lanier class of 1898 This
meeting marked the date of one special
"Chautauqua Day" in memory of the poet
Sidney Lanier, from whom the 9S class
takes its name. The lesson was a study of
the life and work of this gifted writer, and
quotations from his poems were given in
response to the roll call. The Lanier class
poem was read by Mrs. Black, who gave
short sketch of Sidney Laner. The LA
nlers' on Recognition Day was the subject
of a brief paper Mrs. B. l.. Pitcher read
fine poem on the death of Sidney Lanier.
A letter from an absent member of the '98
class, and her quotation for this meeting,
were read by her G. L. S. C. class member.
Singing the Chautauqua song concluded the
literary program. Refreshments were SER
we'd by the hostess, a social hour was enjoy
ed, and one more special c. L. S. C. day
will live in the memories of Seaside Chau-
tauquans. The work of this American year
proves very interesting and instructive.
New c. L. S. c. readers are joining the
ranks of Chautauquans, who, by little
extra labor, can easily make up the re-
quired work of the year. The next meeting
will be with Mrs. Charles Rhoades, No. IS
