The Monday club held a very inter
esting business meeting on Monday
afternoon. The chair was occupied by
Mrs. G. c. Ruffner, vice president OF
the club. Mrs. Nathan Levy sang a
solo, accompanied ON the piano by
Miss Mary Wright, after which a mock
parliamentary drill was gone through
with Mrs. Otis presiding. The mo-

which the parliamentary rules we're
applied was a resolution to the effect

very amusing, and the knowledge of

this line.
